Thompson Law and its attorneys have earned recognition for legal excellence, strong results, and client advocacy. These honors reflect the reputation our team has built in Texas and beyond.
The first step is understanding exactly what happened and who may be responsible.
To recover compensation, your attorney has to clearly show how the accident happened and who was at fault.
Insurance companies often try to limit what they pay, so having someone handle communication early can make a difference.
Once your case is built, the focus shifts to recovering compensation that reflects the full impact of your injuries.
Most cases settle, but being prepared to go to court can influence how seriously a claim is treated.
In Texas, personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis — meaning you pay nothing upfront and only pay if your case is successful.
In serious Texas injury cases, results depend on what your legal team does early, how well they document damages, and whether the insurance company believes your attorneys are ready to take the case all the way. Thompson Law builds every claim with speed, strategy, and trial leverage from day one.
From the moment you contact us, we begin protecting your claim, gathering key details, and taking steps to strengthen your case from day one.
We build the full story of your injuries, treatment, limitations, and future care needs — not just the bills you have today.
Insurance companies pay attention when a firm prepares cases for trial instead of building them to settle cheap.
From the moment you contact us, we begin protecting your case — securing evidence, documenting your injuries, and handling the insurance company so you can focus on recovery.

Our Texas personal injury lawyers handle serious accident cases across the state, including car crashes, truck and 18-wheeler accidents, motorcycle accidents, pedestrian injuries, and oilfield and industrial accidents. We work with clients throughout Dallas–Fort Worth, Houston, Austin, and the Permian Basin — and in many cases, the injuries involved are life-changing.
No two cases look the same. Some involve negligent drivers, others come from unsafe job sites or dangerous conditions. We also handle catastrophic injuries like traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, severe burns, and amputation.
Because of that, the approach has to match the case. The type of accident, the available evidence, and how liability is proven can all impact how much compensation you may be able to recover.

Texas personal injury laws and deadlines can directly impact your case. In most cases, you have two years to file a claim, and fault rules can directly affect how much compensation you recover. Understanding these rules early can make a significant difference in your ability to pursue full compensation.
Critical information every injury victim needs to know
In Texas, you generally have two years from the date of injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. Missing this deadline typically means losing your right to compensation forever.

Texas follows a "modified comparative fault" rule (also called proportionate responsibility). Here's what that means:
Insurance companies exploit this rule by exaggerating your fault. That's why you need aggressive trial counsel who won't let them shift blame unfairly.
Legal Disclaimer: Fault allocation is determined by judge or jury based on evidence presented at trial.

Get answers to common questions about injury law and how we can help you.
Yes. Texas follows modified comparative negligence, also known as the 51% bar rule.
You can recover damages as long as you are not 51% or more at fault for the accident. Your compensation is simply reduced by your percentage of fault.
Example: If your damages total $100,000 and you’re found 20% at fault, you can still recover $80,000.
Insurance companies often exaggerate fault to reduce payouts — our attorneys push back hard against these tactics.
No. You do not need a lawyer located in the same city as your accident.
