Fighting For The Rights Of Car Wreck Victims In The Woodlands And Surrounding Areas Of Texas
At The Leigh Law Firm, we proudly represent Texas clients who have been injured because of other drivers’ negligence. Our founding attorney, Brad Leigh, has a wealth of experience in handling injury cases and decades of experience on his side.
“We do not defend big corporate interests or work for insurance companies. We are strictly a plaintiff’s firm with a focus on helping regular people like you who have been injured by someone else’s negligence on the road.” – Brad Leigh, founding attorney.
From our office headquarters in The Woodlands, we assist clients in Houston, Baytown, Texas City and Pasadena. We take pride in assisting our clients with their cases from beginning to end. When someone’s negligent driving harms other people, that driver should be the one shouldering the financial burden.
We Will Fight For The Compensation You Deserve
Lawyers from our law firm represent motor vehicle accident victims in personal injury claims that involve:
- Car accidents
- Motorcycle accidents
- Bus accidents
- Commercial vehicle accidents
- 18-wheeler trucking accidents
- Bicycle accidents
- Pedestrian accidents
- Drunk driving accidents

In Texas, you can file a personal injury claim to recover compensation after suffering injuries in a car crash. Compensation can cover your medical bills, rehabilitation costs, lost wages, lost earning capacity, mental anguish, disfigurement, and pain and suffering.
Accidents Involving Auto Defects
We also handle cases that result from defective vehicles, including air bag defects, tire defects, rollovers, roof crush cases and General Motors defects. When the cause of an accident is traced back to the manufacturer, it increases the potential recovery for the accident victim.
Distracted Driver Accidents Are Common In Texas
As the pace of life in this country seems to just keep increasing, people are multitasking in their cars to a much greater degree than in the past. We handle cases involving accidents that are caused by:
- Cellphone use while driving
- Texting while driving
- Eating and drinking while driving
- Other distracted driving habits
The list above is far from complete. Distracted driving can be any behavior that takes eyes off the road, hands off the wheel or diverts attention away from driving.
Answers To Frequently Asked Questions About Texas Car Accident Claims
Do you have concerns after a Texas car crash left you injured? You may find it helpful to review the common questions and answers below. Then, you can meet with one of our skilled attorneys to discuss the process of a personal injury lawsuit in Texas and get answers to any additional questions you may have.
What money can I collect for a Houston car accident injury?
Car accident victims in Harris County and all of Texas may be eligible for compensation that covers:
- Current and future medical bills
- Lost wages
- Loss of earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Decreased quality of life
- Nursing care and rehabilitation expenses
The amount of compensation possible for catastrophic injuries can vary based on your unique situation.
Can I get additional compensation if the driver was texting before my Harris County car accident?
It is certainly possible. Texas car accidents are handled under a fault-based system. This means the at-fault driver may be responsible for punitive damages if their conduct was especially egregious.
What is the deadline for filing a Texas car accident claim?
State law imposes a deadline of two years for filing a car accident lawsuit from the date of the accident. There may be some exceptions to this rule, but acting within this time frame helps to preserve your rights.
What do I say to the insurance adjuster after my Houston car accident?
Be careful about speaking to an insurance adjuster before you visit with a knowledgeable personal injury lawyer in Texas. While you may attempt to stick to basic facts only and avoid making written or recorded statements, please be aware that the adjuster does not represent your interests. Do not discuss fault or injuries without legal representation as it could harm your case.
What if the insurance company offers me a settlement for my Harris County car accident?
Insurance settlement offers are often lower than case value. This is particularly true if they know you are not represented by a personal injury lawyer. Before accepting any offer, have a car accident attorney evaluate whether it is appropriate considering the nature and extent of your losses and injuries.
When should I see a doctor after my car accident in Texas?
Seek medical attention immediately, even if you feel fine. Some injuries, like whiplash and brain trauma, may not be immediately apparent. Prompt medical attention safeguards your health and documents your injuries for your accident claim.
Do you help families who had a father die in a Texas car accident?
Yes. Wrongful death cases are among our practice areas. Our legal services aim to enhance financial security for those who have lost a family member or provider in a car accident. We know this is a challenging time and will work with you in a way that reduces stress while you are grieving.
