Frequently asked questions for Friendswood clients
Do I have a Friendswood personal injury case?
If you were hurt by someone else's negligence, you likely have at least the makings of a case. Whether it's worth pursuing depends on injury severity, available insurance, fault percentages, and the statute of limitations. The honest answer is a 10-minute conversation. The consultation is free.
What if I'm partly at fault?
Texas follows modified comparative fault. If you are 50% or less at fault, you can still recover — your recovery is reduced by your share. If you are 51% or more at fault, you recover nothing.
How long will my Friendswood case take?
Simple claims with clear liability can resolve in 6–12 months. Complex cases involving litigation, depositions, and trial can take 18–36 months. We'll give you a realistic timeline at the consultation.
