Description

People searching for a Plano personal injury lawyer after a crash need clear next steps, not slogans. This guide covers how claims work in Plano, Frisco, McKinney, Allen, Prosper, and DFW, and when to call Feizy Law Office.

Plano Personal Injury Lawyer: What Crash Victims Should Know Before They Call

If you are reading this, something already went wrong. A wreck on US-75, a rear-end on the Dallas North Tollway, a left-turn crash near Legacy, or a fall in a store that still hurts days later. You are in pain, you are getting calls you did not ask for, and you are trying to figure out who actually works for you.

A Plano personal injury lawyer exists for that moment. The job is not to rush you into a lawsuit. The job is to keep an insurer from writing the story of your injury while you are still in treatment. Feizy Law Office has represented injured people across Plano, Frisco, McKinney, Allen, Prosper, Dallas, and the rest of DFW since 2000. Call Feizy Law Office at (214) 651-8686 for a free consultation.

What a Plano personal injury lawyer actually does

Personal injury is a civil claim for harm another person or company caused through careless or reckless conduct. It is separate from a traffic ticket and separate from a criminal charge. The lawyer investigates fault, documents medical and wage losses, deals with the carriers, and files suit in Collin County or a nearby court if talks stall.

Most Plano files start as car, truck, motorcycle, or pedestrian crashes. Some start as slip-and-fall injuries in stores and apartments. The legal questions look similar: who owed you a duty of care, did they break it, and what has that cost you.

Texas law generally gives you two years from the date of the injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. Texas Law Help points to Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code 16.003(a) for personal injury and property damage. Insurers know that clock. They do not always mention it.

Call Feizy Law Office at (214) 651-8686 if an adjuster is already asking for a recorded statement.

What to look for in a Plano personal injury lawyer

A billboard and a local office are not the same thing. Ask who will actually work your file. Ask whether the attorney has taken injury cases through Collin County, Dallas County, and Denton County courts. Ask how the firm talks to clients, not just how it talks to adjusters.

Look for these practical signs:

• The attorney can explain comparative fault, coverage, and medical liens in plain English.
• The firm works on contingency, so you do not write a check to start.
• Someone answers after the first meeting.
• The office knows Plano roads, local hospitals, and local insurers.
• The lawyer will file suit if the carrier will not pay fair value.

You do not need a national TV brand. You need counsel who still picks up when your MRI results arrive three months later. Nick Feizy has practiced personal injury law in North Texas since 2000. That history matters when a trucking company, a retailer, or a driver’s insurer starts shifting blame.

Why experience matters after a Plano crash

Injury cases move on two clocks. One is your recovery. The other is evidence. Skid marks fade. Store cameras overwrite. Truck electronic data gets “lost.” Witnesses move. An attorney who has handled serious injury claims knows which preservation letters to send in the first 48 hours.

Experience also changes how insurers behave. Carriers keep files on firms that settle cheap and firms that try cases. If the other side believes your lawyer will not file, the number stays low.

Serious wrecks in this region are not rare. NHTSA estimated 39,345 traffic deaths nationwide in 2024. Families in Plano, Allen, McKinney, and Prosper still get treated as if their file is a routine claim number. It is not.

Call Feizy Law Office at (214) 651-8686 if you want someone else to handle the legal side while you handle treatment.

How Feizy Law handles Plano injury cases

The first call is a conversation, not a sales pitch. We listen to what happened, who was involved, and what the insurer has already said. If we take the case, we send preservation demands, collect the crash report, and start gathering medical records. We take over communications so you are not repeating the worst day of your year on a recorded line.

From there the work is methodical:

1. Identify every possible defendant, including drivers, employers, property owners, and, when the facts support it, product or maintenance companies.
2. Document economic losses: medical bills, future care, lost wages, and reduced earning capacity.
3. Document non-economic harm Texas law allows, including pain, mental anguish, and physical impairment.
4. Value the claim against coverage, liability, and the real effect on your life.
5. Negotiate, and file suit in the right North Texas court if talks stall.

We serve people in Plano, Frisco, McKinney, Allen, Prosper, Dallas, and surrounding DFW cities. You do not need to drive across the metro to get started. Call Feizy Law Office at (214) 651-8686 for a free consultation.

Common mistakes crash victims make

Pain makes people polite. Insurers count on that. These are the errors that most often shrink a Plano claim:

Talking to the other driver’s insurer on a recorded call. Adjusters sound kind. Their notes still get used later to argue you were partly at fault.

Signing a quick release for property damage only. Once you release the claim, later medical problems are usually gone.

Waiting until you “feel better.” Soft-tissue injuries, concussions, and disc problems often look worse on imaging weeks later. Gaps in treatment get used against you.

Posting about the crash. Photos, jokes, and gym check-ins become exhibits.

Assuming the police report settles fault. A report helps. It is not the last word, especially when a commercial truck or a left-turn dispute is involved.

If you already made one of these mistakes, call anyway. Early counsel can still limit the damage. Call Feizy Law Office at (214) 651-8686.

What compensation you may be entitled to

Texas personal injury damages generally fall into economic and non-economic categories. Economic losses include emergency care, follow-up treatment, physical therapy, prescriptions, mileage to appointments, lost wages, and, in serious cases, future medical care and reduced earning capacity. Property damage to your vehicle is a separate but related claim.

Non-economic damages cover pain, mental anguish, physical impairment, and disfigurement. There is no honest spreadsheet for those numbers. The facts of your injuries, your work, and how daily life changed drive the value.

Wrongful death claims for surviving family members follow a related but distinct set of rules under Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code Chapter 71. Those files need extra care around funeral costs, lost household services, and companionship.

An early offer that covers the ER bill is rarely the full picture. Call Feizy Law Office at (214) 651-8686 before you accept a first number.

The free consultation process

You can call (214) 651-8686 without preparing a speech. Have what you have: the crash date, the other driver’s insurer if you know it, the police report number, and a list of providers you have seen. If you have photos, keep them. If you do not, that is fine.

On the call we talk through fault, coverage, and timing. There is no fee for that conversation. If we take the case, we work on contingency. You do not pay attorney fees unless there is a recovery.

People from Plano, Frisco, McKinney, Allen, Prosper, and Dallas use the same number. You do not need a referral. Call Feizy Law Office at (214) 651-8686 for a free consultation.

FAQ

How soon should I call a Plano personal injury lawyer after a crash?
As soon as you can think clearly after medical care. Evidence and recorded-statement requests move faster than most people expect.

Do I still have a case if I was partly at fault?
Possibly. Texas uses a modified comparative fault system. Being accused of contributing to the crash does not automatically end the claim. A person found more than 50 percent responsible generally cannot recover from other responsible parties.

Will I have to go to court?
Many cases resolve without a trial. Some do not. The point of hiring counsel is that the other side knows you can file.

What if the other driver is uninsured?
Uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage on your own policy may apply. Do not assume you have no claim.

How much does it cost to talk to Feizy Law Office?
The consultation is free. Call (214) 651-8686.

If you are still in pain, still getting insurer calls, or still unsure who is on your side, do not wait for the two-year clock to become a problem. Call Feizy Law Office at (214) 651-8686 for a free consultation.
