Personal Injury Lawyers in Cedar Park, Texas
Someone else's negligence changed your week, your job, or your family. The Valentine Law Firm handles the insurance company, the evidence and the deadlines, so you can concentrate on recovering.
What a Cedar Park personal injury lawyer does for you
An injury claim is a dispute about evidence and money. The insurance company assigns an adjuster whose job is to close your claim for as little as possible, and that adjuster starts work within days of the collision. The Valentine Law Firm starts work on the same evidence: the crash report, the scene, the vehicle damage, the medical records, and the witnesses who remember what happened before memories fade.
The firm handles the parts of a claim that injured people should not have to manage while they are in treatment. That includes notifying the insurers, preserving evidence, working with your doctors on records and billing, calculating what the injury has actually cost you, and filing suit inside the deadline when an insurer refuses to pay a fair amount.
Who The Valentine Law Firm represents
The firm represents people injured by another party's negligence in Williamson County and Travis County. That covers drivers, passengers, motorcyclists, cyclists and pedestrians hurt on roads such as US 183, the 183A toll road, RM 620, RM 1431 and Parmer Lane, along with people hurt on someone else's property, at work on a construction site, or by a dangerous condition. The firm also represents families pursuing a wrongful death claim after a fatal incident.

Frequently asked questions
Texas generally gives an injured person two years from the date of the injury to file a personal injury lawsuit, under section 16.003 of the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code. Some claims run on a shorter deadline, and claims against a government body in Texas can require formal notice within months rather than years. Because the deadline that applies depends on who caused the injury, speak to a lawyer early rather than close to the two year mark.
The Valentine Law Firm works on a contingency fee. You pay no fee to start a case and no fee unless the firm recovers money for you. The first consultation is free, and nothing obligates you to hire the firm after it.
Texas uses proportionate responsibility under section 33.001 of the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code. An injured person may still recover damages if they are found 50 percent or less at fault, and the recovery is reduced by their share of responsibility. A person found 51 percent or more at fault recovers nothing, which is why insurers often push fault onto the injured party.
Talk to a lawyer before you give a recorded statement to the other driver's insurer. An adjuster records the statement to find admissions and inconsistencies that reduce what the insurer pays. You are generally required to cooperate with your own insurer, but not with the other side's.
The Valentine Law Firm works from an office at 700 Market St in Cedar Park and represents injured people across Williamson County and Travis County, including Leander, Liberty Hill, Round Rock, Georgetown and Austin.
