Don't Wait to Talk to a Katy Personal Injury Lawyer
Filing a lawsuit might not be the first thing on your mind after a serious accident, but talking to an attorney early on can be crucial if you are going to have a chance at recovering and rebuilding your life. The person or company that caused your accident isn't going to just admit that they did wrong. The insurance company responsible for paying your claim isn't going to offer you a fast and fair settlement. These parties will actively try to avoid paying you what you deserve, and they will start as soon as they find out that you're injured.
You need a Katy personal injury lawyer in your corner to protect your interests, and you need one as quickly as possible. Fortunately, our firm is standing by to answer your questions and help you take the right steps.
We’re here to help with any injury case, including:
- Plant and refinery accidents
- Catastrophic injuries
- Motor vehicle accidents

In Texas, you have two years from the date an accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. This is referred to as a statute of limitations and applies to nearly every type of accident or injury. Minors will have 2 years from the time they turn 18 to come forward with cases, however, and different time limits may apply to maritime cases and cases against the government. Your attorney can make sure your case is filed in time and in the appropriate court.
Truck Accident Attorneys in Katy, TX
Sharing the road with an 18-wheeler can be challenging. These immense vehicles, which can weigh up to 80,000 pounds, may merge into your lane, make it difficult to see other vehicles, or encroach on your space when turning. At times, sharing the road can be deadly. When people are seriously injured or lose their lives in collisions with semi-trucks and other commercial vehicles, our Katy truck accident attorneys are there to set things right.
We fight to help our clients recover life-changing compensation after truck accidents, such as:
- $10 million settlement for the family of 2 people who were killed by an 18-wheeler that ran a red light.

- $2.2 million settlement for a woman who was left with long-term injuries after a truck accident.

About Katy, TX
With nearly 22,000 residents as of the 2020 census, Katy is a relatively small town located about 29 miles west of Houston in Harris County, Texas. The city has grown steadily over the years and has a strong economy and diverse culture. Katy was first a railroad town that was settled in the mid-1890s. It grew along with nearby Houston and, by the 1960s, had experienced rapid growth and urbanization. Today, Katy is an attractive location for families, individuals, and businesses. Katy experiences mild winters and hot, humid summers.
