Statutes that govern personal injury in Texas

Texas law sets clear rules for injury cases. Chapter 16 tells us you have two years to file your claim. Chapter 33 says how blame is shared when two people are at fault. These laws guide our plans to win your case.

How long you have to file in Texas

You have two years from the date you got hurt to file a lawsuit in Texas. If the injured person is under 18 or cannot file on their own, extra time may be allowed. Missing this deadline means losing your right to payment.

Screenshot 2025 06 20 at 11.07.42 PM

What if you share some blame?

In Texas, you can still get paid even if you share some blame. But your payment might be smaller if the court finds you partly at fault. If the other person caused most of the problem, you can still get money. We make sure the court understands your side clearly.

IT’S ALL ABOUT YOUR BEST POSSIBLE RESULT

Paraplegic Minor
$12 MILLIONDerek H. Potts and Timothy L. Sifers obtained a $12,100,000 verdict against Lisa Gard, M.D. for medical malpractice involving a minor. The jury found the Salina emergency room doctor to be negligent in her assessment of the minor upon presentation in the emergency room, failing to timely diagnose a rare spinal condition. The case was one of the largest verdicts in history in the State of Kansas.
Fraud Against Lender
$10.7 MILLIONPotts Law Firm represented a United States Bankruptcy Trustee. The case stemmed from the massive bankruptcy of Royce Homes, one of the largest homebuilders in the country. Micah and Chris represented the bankruptcy Trustee against a multitude of defendants, including the chief Lender, for claims related to the homebuilder’s downfall and the fraudulent transfer of assets from the rightful owners, the creditors.
Birth Injury
$4.6 MILLIONDerek H. Potts and Samuel Cullan were members of the plaintiff’s trial team which obtained a $4,600,000 verdict for a minor delivered at Bethany Medical Center. Ariana Wilburn, the minor, suffered a spinal cord presentation after being born in the breech position.
Hypoxic-Ischemic Birth Injury
$3.5 MILLIONPotts Law Firm secured a $3,500,000 settlement for a single mother whose infant suffered severe brain damage while being delivered in a New Mexico hospital. The mother, having no previous pregnancy or medical issues, began laboring and immediately went to a hospital. Despite the clear signs of fetal distress and hypoxia (lack of oxygen), the doctor and nurse did not order an emergency cesarean section.
Fraudulent Transfers
$2.42 MILLIONPotts Law Firm represented a Bankruptcy Trustee, resulting in a combined $2.42 million being recovered for creditors of ATP Oil & Gas Company.

Pharmaceutical Birth Defect
$1.05 MILLIONPotts Law Firm secured a $1,050,000 settlement for a mother whose infant suffered birth defects from a pharmaceutical drug that was taken during pregnancy.
