Frequently Asked Questions
How does Counsel Hound help Texans find a personal injury lawyer?
Counsel Hound reviews your case information and helps connect you with a vetted attorney referral when the matter appears to fit the network. The goal is to match your injury type, location, and circumstances with a lawyer who can evaluate the claim.
How much do personal injury lawyers charge in Texas?
Many personal injury attorneys work on a contingency fee, which means attorney fees are typically paid from a recovery if the case succeeds. Fee terms vary, and a Texas attorney should explain any agreement before you sign it. Counsel Hound offers a free consultation to start the referral process.
What is modified comparative fault in Texas?
Modified comparative fault is a rule that can reduce an injured person’s recovery by their percentage of responsibility. If a person is found more than 50 percent responsible, they may be barred from recovery. A Texas attorney can explain how this rule may apply to specific facts.
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Texas?
Many Texas personal injury claims have a two-year deadline, but exceptions and shorter notice rules can apply depending on the defendant, injury, and claim type. Because deadlines are fact-specific, injured people should ask an attorney as soon as possible.
Can Counsel Hound help with a Houston personal injury case?
Yes. Counsel Hound reviews Houston personal injury matters and can help identify whether a Houston-focused attorney referral may be appropriate. Houston cases may involve car crashes, truck accidents, industrial injuries, medical injuries, premises claims, and other serious matters.
What types of Texas injury cases can Counsel Hound review?
Counsel Hound reviews car, truck, motorcycle, rideshare, medical injury, defective product, toxic exposure, abuse, workplace, consumer fraud, whistleblower, and other serious injury-related matters. Case acceptance depends on the facts and attorney network availability.
Do I have to pay for a consultation?
No. Counsel Hound offers a free case evaluation. If you are referred to a Texas personal injury attorney, that attorney can explain any fee agreement before representation begins.
What should I bring to my first consultation?
Bring any reports, photos, medical records, insurance letters, witness information, repair estimates, bills, employment records, and written timelines you have. If you do not have everything yet, you can still start the conversation.
