Description
Searching auto crash law firms near me after a wreck in Frisco, Plano, or Dallas? This guide covers what to look for, common mistakes, compensation, and a free consultation with Feizy Law Office.
Auto Crash Law Firms Near Me: How North Texas Drivers Should Choose Counsel
A crash on the Dallas North Tollway, US 75, or a Frisco arterial does not feel like a search query. Your neck is stiff. The car may not drive. The other insurer is already calling. If you typed auto crash law firms near me, you are trying to get a human who will take the file off your plate.
This article is for injured drivers and passengers in Frisco, Plano, McKinney, Allen, Prosper, and the rest of DFW. It is general information, not advice on one set of facts.
TLDR
- Texas generally gives you two years to file a personal injury lawsuit. See Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code § 16.003 and TexasLawHelp.
- If you are found more than 50 percent responsible, Texas law can bar recovery. See § 33.001.
- Minimum auto liability in Texas is often described as 30/60/25. See the Texas Department of Insurance auto guide.
- Get medical care first. Keep photos, the crash report, and every insurer message.
- Do not give a recorded statement or sign a release until you know what you are giving up.
- Feizy Law Office has represented injured Texans since 2000. Call (214) 651-8686 for a free consultation.
What to look for in a Frisco car accident attorney
A wreck on Preston Road is not the same as a parking-lot scrape. You want counsel who treats the crash as a local fact pattern, not a template.
Look for someone who:
- Handles car, truck, and motorcycle wrecks as a regular part of the practice
- Can explain Texas fault rules in plain English, including how insurers try to shift blame onto you
- Takes the insurance calls so you can focus on treatment
- Has time for you. If the first conversation feels rushed or scripted, that is data
- Is willing to file suit if the company will not pay a fair amount
Ask where they actually practice. Frisco, Plano, McKinney, and Dallas County have different reporting systems and court calendars. Local knowledge saves time when a store camera is about to overwrite or a commercial vehicle is involved.

Why experience matters after a Texas wreck
Experience is not a slogan. It is knowing which records to request first, which witnesses to find, and which “routine” adjuster questions are built to shrink the file.
Nick Feizy has practiced since 2000. That span covers thousands of insurance files, changes in medical billing, and the way companies now push early recorded statements. A newer lawyer can still be capable. What you should not accept is guesswork on deadlines or coverage.
Experience also shows when fault is messy. Texas uses proportionate responsibility. Under Civil Practice and Remedies Code § 33.001, a claimant may not recover damages if their percentage of responsibility is greater than 50 percent. Insurers know the rule. They argue you were speeding, changing lanes, or on your phone because a few percentage points can cut the check, and a finding over 50 percent can end the claim.
A lawyer who has seen those arguments does not treat the police report as the last word. Officers write what they see and hear at the scene. Later, video, vehicle data, and the medical timeline can change the picture.
If you were hurt in Plano, Frisco, or elsewhere in DFW, call (214) 651-8686.
How Feizy Law handles auto crash cases
The first job is medical care and evidence. We ask what treatment you already received, what you still need, and what proof is at risk of disappearing. Nearby businesses overwrite cameras. Vehicles get repaired. Witnesses move.
Early work often includes:
- Collecting the crash report, photos, and any available video
- Identifying every policy that may apply: the at-fault driver, your PIP or MedPay, and uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage
- Taking over adjuster communications
- Documenting lost wages, out-of-pocket costs, and how the injury affects daily life
- Valuing future care when the injury is not finished healing
We do not quote a settlement number in the first meeting to win your trust. Claim value changes as treatment continues and the medical picture becomes clearer.
Feizy Law Office serves Frisco, Plano, McKinney, Allen, Prosper, Dallas, and the rest of the metroplex. If you want that process started, call (214) 651-8686 for a free consultation.

Common mistakes victims make
Most of the damage to a claim happens in the first two weeks, and it rarely looks dramatic at the time.
Waiting to see a doctor. Adrenaline hides injuries. A gap in treatment gives the insurer an opening to say you were not really hurt, or that something else caused the pain.
Giving a recorded statement too soon. You may not yet know the scope of your injuries. A casual phrase like “I’m fine” can follow you for months.
Signing a medical authorization that is broader than necessary. Companies sometimes ask for years of unrelated records to hunt for a preexisting condition.
Taking the first offer. Early checks often cover the obvious ER bill and ignore physical therapy, time off work, and lingering pain.
Posting about the crash on social media. Photos from a birthday or a short walk can be pulled out of context.
Letting the deadline run. The two-year clock in § 16.003 does not pause because the adjuster is “still reviewing the file.”
If you already took one of these steps, there may still be a path. Call (214) 651-8686 before you sign anything else.
What compensation you may be entitled to
Compensation in a Texas auto crash case usually covers more than the first hospital bill. Depending on the facts, a claim may include:
- Past and reasonably expected medical bills
- Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
- Property damage
- Physical pain and emotional distress
- Loss of enjoyment of daily life
- In the most serious cases, wrongful death claims for the family
Texas minimum liability (often $30,000 per person, $60,000 per accident, and $25,000 for property damage, per TDI) does not stretch far when there is surgery, long therapy, or an inability to work. That is why identifying extra coverage matters: yours, an employer’s if the other driver was in a work vehicle, and UM/UIM.
No honest lawyer can promise a number before reviewing the facts. What you can expect is a candid assessment and an attorney who will not let the insurer define your losses for you.

The free consultation process
The consultation is not a sales pitch. It is a working conversation.
Bring what you have: photos, the police report if it is out, witness names, insurance emails, and a list of doctors. If you have nothing organized, still call. We can start from what you remember.
On that call we cover:
- What happened and where (Frisco, Plano, McKinney, Allen, Prosper, or another part of DFW)
- What treatment you have received and what still hurts
- What the insurer has already told you
- Which deadlines apply
- Whether it makes sense for us to take the case
There is no charge for that conversation. If we move forward, we explain how the work is paid before we ask you to sign anything.

FAQ
How long do I have to sue after a crash in Texas?
In most personal injury cases, two years from the day the cause of action accrues, under § 16.003. Some claims against government entities have shorter notice rules. Do not wait until the last month.
Can I still recover if I am partly at fault?
Yes, if your percentage is not greater than 50 percent. Your recovery is reduced by your share of responsibility. Above 50 percent, § 33.001 can bar recovery.
Should I talk to the other driver’s adjuster?
You can report the crash and give basic contact information. A detailed recorded statement usually helps the company more than it helps you. Get advice first.
