If you or someone you love has been injured in Beaumont, you’re not alone. In just the past few months, this city has experienced several devastating accidents that highlight how quickly life can change; and how important it is to have the right legal team by your side.
In March 2025, a multi-vehicle crash on I-10 Eastbound left 62-year-old Gloria Garza dead and her husband, seriously injured. Apart from them, multiple others were also hospitalized. The crash involved at least five vehicles and shut down the interstate for hours.
Then in May, a silver Yukon carrying eight people veered off Concord Road, overcorrected, and slammed into a tree; this folded the vehicle and trapped its occupants inside. Several passengers were trauma-alerted to St. Elizabeth Hospital with compound fractures and other serious injuries.
Just a few weeks later in June, a 16-year-old street racing through Beaumont crashed into railway equipment while trying to flee police. The teen was hospitalized after becoming trapped in the wreckage. That single reckless act shut down the BNSF railway temporarily and endangered emergency responders.
These aren’t just news stories. They’re reminders of how fast a normal day can become a nightmare and how critical it is to act fast, get medical attention, and seek legal guidance.

Personal injury law is complex, and insurance companies don’t always have your concerns in mind. Their goal will always benefit the companies that they are working for, so you need to have someone fighting for your rights. Our attorneys are here to:

Pain and suffering damages are designed to compensate you for the non-economic impact of your injury. This includes physical pain, mental distress, anxiety, loss of enjoyment, and the toll on your relationships. Texas law allows two common methods for calculating these damages: the per diem method and the multiplier method.
You may also be entitled to other forms of compensation:
We help ensure every aspect of your suffering is valued appropriately.
Not every case is a clean, straightforward shot. Sometimes, you might have several different people or groups all sharing the blame, or there could be layers upon layers of legal responsibility that you just have to untangle.
Common factors that add complexity:
Evidence like black box data, dash cam footage, and even damaged gear can be crucial. We also explain insurance complications when commercial or fleet policies are involved. No matter how complicated your case may seem, we have the tools and experience to handle it.

Strong evidence includes:

Two years. Texas gives you two years to file a claim for personal injury. However, this deadline may vary if the case involves a minor, a government entity, or delayed discovery of injuries. It’s best to speak with a lawyer as soon as possible to protect your rights.
A contingency fee means you pay nothing upfront for legal services. Our payment only comes as a percentage of the compensation we recover on your behalf. If we don’t win, you owe us nothing.
Yes, Texas follows a comparative fault rule. As long as you are less than 51% at fault, you may still recover damages. Do note that your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of responsibility.
Not always. Many personal injury cases settle through negotiation. But if the insurance company refuses to make a mutually sound offer, we are fully prepared to take your case to trial.
What we do is take a good hard look at everything: your total damages, how strong your evidence is, what laws actually apply, and even how other, similar cases have played out. This means we’re looking at both the financial and non-financial impacts, like pain and suffering. Our whole goal is to get you the absolute maximum amount possible, all based on your unique situation.
The timeline depends on the complexity of the case, the extent of your injuries, and whether a trial is necessary. While some cases settle in a few months, others can take longer. We’ll keep you informed at every stage.
Yes. We handle all insurance communication so you don’t have to. Our lawyers know how to deal with adjusters and push back against low offers.
If you are injured in any type of accident, your first priority should be to seek immediate medical attention, even if you are not certain that you are injured. Seeking immediate medical treatment does two things: 1) it ensures injuries you sustained are diagnosed and treated; and, 2) it helps eliminate any doubt by the insurance company that your injuries were caused by the accident.
Often, the shock and adrenaline of an accident can mask symptoms of injuries, so making the mistake of skipping a medical examination can have profound consequences. By seeking prompt medical treatment, you protect both your health and your ability to seek compensation for your injuries with the help of your attorney.
If you were in a motor vehicle accident we have also detailed here what to do after a car accident.
A skilled personal injury lawyer is necessary to get full and fair compensation for injuries you sustained in an accident. Most defendants, whether individual drivers or commercial vehicle operators, are covered by liability insurance. Those insurance companies are not obligated to protect or take care of you. Insurance companies exist to protect the defendant (their customer) who caused the wreck.
A personal injury attorney can help you obtain compensation for every category of damages to which you are legally entitled. These damages can include things like: medical bills, lost wages, property damage, pain & suffering, punitive damages, loss of limb, diminished mental function, physical impairment, scarring or disfigurement, emotional or mental trauma, and loss of consortium (in wrongful death claims). Further, you may be entitled to future medical bills, future lost income, future pain and suffering, and other damages in severe injury cases.
Uninsured Motorist (UM) Coverage can help save the day if you are hit by an uninsured driver or if you are the victim in a hit-and-run collision. In short, UM coverage is an add-on coverage that drivers can add to their auto insurance policies that will protect them in the event that they are in an auto accident with a driver who either does not have insurance or cannot be located. You can contact your insurance provider to confirm whether your policy includes UM. If you do not have this coverage, the personal injury attorneys at Thompson Law recommend that you consider adding UM to your auto insurance policy today.
Absolutely not. It’s important to leave the investigation to the professionals. They know exactly how to work a case to determine all of the facts and details.
Some of the most devastating injuries caused by careless driving happen to pedestrians. As a pedestrian, you have the same right to be free from injury and harm caused by the irresponsibility, error, or negligence of others as any motorist on the road. In is important to obtain the services of an experienced personal injury attorney as soon as possible if you are injured as a pedestrian. The right attorney will see that you receive the medical care you need, guide your damage claim process, and receive full compensation for your injuries.
Typically, yes. If a family member is seriously injured or killed in an accident, or if the injured party is a minor child, then it may be appropriate under the law for a parent, spouse, relative, or legal guardian to file a claim or lawsuit on behalf of the injured or deceased party. These types of claims are complex, and usually depend on the type of relationship involved, as well as the individual facts and circumstances of the injury. Calling the experienced personal injury attorneys at Thompson Law is step one to explore filing an injury claim on behalf of your loved one.
If the other vehicle involved in your crash was an 18 wheeler or another commercial vehicle, call an attorney immediately. Companies who own commercial vehicles and 18 wheelers often have their own team of investigators who will arrive on the scene immediately working on the driver’s defense case. The sooner you involve an attorney of your own, the better your chances are of receiving compensation for your injuries and damages.
No. They aren’t trying to help you. They’re trying to protect their drivers and reduce their costs. That’s why they have a team of lawyers ready to flock to the scene of any accident. Don’t accept any form of compensation until you talk to your attorney. Most victims of 18 wheeler crashes sustain more injuries than victims of normal crashes, and can receive higher compensation as a result. Don’t let them fool you into accepting a smaller payout for your injuries and damages. Your injuries could require years of medications and surgeries, and the company will try everything to avoid making huge payouts. Call your attorney and let them do the negotiating on your behalf.
The best personal injury attorney has three major characteristics: Excellent customer service, cutting edge technology, and a willingness to take cases and win at trial. Ask your potential attorney about the client experience they offer, what kind of technology they use to make your life easier, and when was the last time they took a case to jury trial. Asking these types of questions will give you guidance on what kind of experience you can expect as a client and what kind of results you can expect at the end of your case.
Thompson Law has high ratings from clients for its emphasis on customer service, and its attorneys have achieved significant results on small, large, and complex cases alike. No matter if you have been involved in a minor car wreck or are dealing with catastrophic injuries from a rarer and more devastating event like a terrible workplace accident, dog bite, or an 18 wheeler wreck, Thompson Law can assist you.

An insurance company will not pay medical expenses or other damages as they come due; rather, after they have accepted liability, the insurance company will make a one-time, lump-sum final payment only at the end of your case. Dealing with medical expenses and obtaining the proper medical care after an accident can be tricky. But it does not have to be! Call the personal injury attorneys at Thompson Law, who can explain how to deal with the “day-of” hospital bills, how to continue to receive the care you need, and ultimately how to recover an appropriate settlement that takes care of your bills from the incident as well as fair and just compensation for you.
Let’s be honest: this isn’t a legal show on TV and your case will not settle in the next hour – or even tomorrow. The true answer is: it depends. We find that most cases settle within 6-12 months from date of incident; but the timeline in your case could be shorter or longer depending on: the facts and circumstances of the accident; the length of time it takes you to complete medical treatment; and the character of the insurance company, or companies, involved in your case. In the event that your case cannot settle pre-litigation and it becomes necessary to file a lawsuit, the litigation process alone can take 1 to 2 years due to the court system and legal process necessary to prepare for trial. But because so much of the timeline depends on the facts and circumstances of your unique case, call Thompson Law today to discuss the personal injury claims process.
Thompson Law charges NO FEE unless we obtain a settlement for your case. We’ve put over $1.9 billion in cash settlements in our clients’ pockets. Contact us today for a free, no-obligation consultation to discuss your accident, get your questions answered, and understand your legal options.
State law limits the time you have to file a claim after an injury accident, so call today.
