Your Rights After an Injury in Harlingen, TX
Hurt by someone else's carelessness in Harlingen? Texas law gives you real, enforceable rights. Here's what they are and how to keep them protected.
Quick answer
If you're injured by someone else's negligence in Harlingen, Texas law gives you the right to seek compensation for your medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering — regardless of immigration status. You have the right to refuse a recorded statement, to reject an unfair settlement, and to choose your own bilingual lawyer. In most cases you have two years from the date of the injury to file your claim.
The right to seek fair compensation
When another person's negligence injures you in Harlingen — a careless driver, an unsafe business, a distracted truck operator — Texas law gives you the right to pursue compensation for your medical care, your lost income, and the pain and disruption the injury has caused you and your family.
Your immigration status is not a barrier
In Texas, anyone injured by someone else's negligence has the right to seek fair compensation, no matter their immigration status. We never ask for it, and you don't need it to have a case. You deserve the same justice and respect as anyone else in Harlingen.
The right to refuse the insurance company
- You can refuse to give the other driver's insurer a recorded statement.
- You can turn down a fast settlement that doesn't cover your losses.
- You can have a lawyer handle every call with the insurer for you.
The right to choose your own lawyer
No one can force you to use a lawyer you don't trust, and you can switch if you're not treated right. You deserve a lawyer who explains your case in Spanish, answers your questions, and treats your family with respect. The Relentless Lawyer serves Harlingen and the entire Rio Grande Valley in Spanish.
The right to act in time
Texas generally gives you two years from the date of your injury to file a lawsuit, and some claims have shorter deadlines. Acting early protects evidence and witness memories. Calling a lawyer soon after your injury is the best way to safeguard every one of these rights.
