Why Car Accident Victims Need a Lawyer
Insurance Companies Fight to Pay Less
Insurance adjusters work to minimize payouts after a crash. A Houston car accident lawyer protects your rights and fights for the full compensation you deserve.
Car Accidents Can Cause Serious Injuries
Even seemingly minor crashes can result in lasting injuries. Medical bills, lost wages, and ongoing treatment can create significant financial stress for victims and their families.
Texas Car Accident Claims Are Complex
Determining fault, gathering evidence, and negotiating with insurers takes experience. Our Houston car accident attorneys build strong claims to maximize your recovery.
Push Back Against Insurance Company Tactics
Insurance companies focus on protecting their bottom line. We focus on protecting injured Texans. Our legal team negotiates every case as though it may ultimately go to trial.
Types of Houston Car Accident Cases We Handle
Rear-End Collisions
Rear-end crashes often cause whiplash, back injuries, and other serious conditions. We work to hold negligent drivers accountable for the harm they cause.
Distracted Driving Accidents
Drivers who text, use mobile devices, or otherwise lose focus put everyone on the road at risk. We fight to hold distracted drivers responsible for their negligence.
T-Bone & Intersection Accidents
Side-impact crashes frequently result in severe injuries because they offer less protection to vehicle occupants. We investigate the cause and pursue every available source of compensation.
Drunk Driving Accidents
Driving under the influence puts lives at risk. Our team aggressively pursues claims against intoxicated drivers whose reckless decisions cause serious injuries.
Head-On Collisions
Head-on crashes are among the most devastating motor vehicle accidents. We help victims recover compensation for catastrophic injuries and long-term losses.
Wrongful Death Car Accidents
Losing a loved one in a car accident is heartbreaking. We help families pursue wrongful death claims with compassion while seeking the justice they deserve.
Put an Experienced Trial Team Behind Your Case
Insurance companies work hard to limit what they pay after a serious crash. Potts Law Firm builds strong cases, uncovers the evidence needed to prove liability, and fights for the compensation injured Texans deserve.
What to Do After a Car Accident
(1) Get Medical Attention Immediately
Your health should always come first. Even injuries that seem minor after a collision may become more serious over time. Prompt medical care also creates important documentation for your claim.
(2) Document the Accident Scene
If you're able, take photographs of the vehicles, road conditions, skid marks, traffic signs, and your injuries. Collect witness contact information and keep copies of any police reports or medical records.
(3) Be Careful When Speaking With Insurance Adjusters
Insurance companies may ask for recorded statements or encourage quick settlements before you understand the value of your claim. Speak with an attorney before accepting an offer or discussing fault.
(4) Contact a Houston Car Accident Attorney Early
Important evidence can disappear quickly after a crash. Early legal representation allows your attorney to preserve evidence, investigate liability, and begin building your case as soon as possible.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do after a car accident in Houston?
Seek medical attention as soon as possible, even if you feel fine. Report the accident to law enforcement, take photos of the scene, exchange information with the other driver, and contact a Houston car accident lawyer before speaking with the insurance company.
How much is my car accident case worth?
Every case is different. The value of your claim depends on factors such as the severity of your injuries, medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, and the long-term impact on your life.
What if the other driver doesn't have insurance?
You may still have options for recovering compensation through your own uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage or other available sources. Our attorneys can evaluate your case and explain your legal options.

Texas generally allows two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. Acting quickly also helps preserve evidence and strengthen your case.

Potts Law Firm works on a contingency fee basis. You pay nothing upfront, and we only get paid if we recover compensation for you.
