Hurt in a car or truck wreck? Talk to a trial lawyer.
An insurance company values an injury claim by one thing above all: whether your lawyer will actually take it to court. John Henry has tried and won cases in Texas courts since 2006. Call us before you give the adjuster a recorded statement.
What we handle
- Car, pickup and SUV collisions
- Eighteen-wheeler and commercial truck wrecks
- Uninsured and underinsured motorist claims against your own insurer
- Rideshare and delivery-vehicle crashes
- Property damage and the rental car while it is sorted out
- Filing suit, and trying the case when the offer is wrong
What to do right now
- Get medical care, and tell every provider the injury came from the wreck.
- Photograph the vehicles, the scene and your injuries. Keep every bill.
- Get the other driver’s insurance and the police report number.
- Do not give the other driver’s insurer a recorded statement before you talk to a lawyer.
- Do not sign a release or cash a settlement check you do not understand.
How we approach it
We are a litigation firm. Our work is building the record, holding the other side’s evidence to the rules, and winning motions in Texas courtrooms. That is the same work that moves an insurer off a low offer.

Questions people ask
How long do I have to file a lawsuit after a car accident in Texas?
Generally two years from the date of the accident for personal injury, under Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 16.003. Some claims — against a government entity, for example — require notice much sooner. Do not wait to find out which applies to you.
Should I talk to the other driver’s insurance company?
Report the claim, but do not give a recorded statement or sign a medical authorization before you have talked to a lawyer. What you say early is used later to value the claim.
What if the other driver has no insurance, or not enough?
Your own uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage may pay. Texas insurers must offer it, and it applies unless you rejected it in writing.
