If you were injured due to someone else’s negligence — in a car crash, slip and fall, or other accident — you may have a case. The best way to know for sure is to schedule a free consultation so we can review the details with you.
We work on a contingency fee basis, which means you pay nothing upfront. We only get paid if we win your case. If there’s no recovery, you owe us nothing.

Seek medical attention immediately, even if you feel okay. Then, document everything — photos, names, insurance details, and a copy of the police report. Avoid speaking to the insurance company before speaking with an attorney. Contact us as soon as possible so we can protect your rights.

In most personal injury cases, you have two years from the date of the injury to file a lawsuit. However, some exceptions may apply. It’s best to speak with an attorney right away to avoid missing any deadlines.
Most personal injury cases are resolved through settlement without ever going to court. However, if the insurance company refuses to offer fair compensation, we are fully prepared to file a lawsuit and take your case into litigation. We will walk you through every step and fight for the best possible outcome — whether inside or outside the courtroom.
The timeline varies depending on the severity of your injuries, the complexity of the case, and how willing the insurance company is to negotiate. Most cases resolve within a few months, but some may take longer if ongoing treatment is needed.
Texas follows a modified comparative fault rule, which means you may still recover damages if you were less than 51% at fault. Your compensation may be reduced by your percentage of fault.

We focus exclusively on personal injury cases, including car accidents, commercial vehicle crashes, slip and falls, wrongful death, and medical device injuries. You can view our full list of practice areas here.

Yes. At NLG Law Group, every client has direct access to their attorney. You won’t be passed off to a case manager or left wondering what’s happening with your case.
We’re a boutique firm that combines fierce legal strategy with personalized, client-centered care. You won’t deal with call centers or confusing processes. Instead, you’ll receive clear communication, compassion, and experienced representation every step of the way.

Every case is unique, but here’s a general overview of how the process works at NLG Law Group:

  1. Free Consultation
     We start by learning about your accident, injuries, and goals during a free consultation. If we’re a good fit, you’ll sign a contingency fee agreement so we can get started.
  2. Medical Treatment
     Your health is the priority. If you’re still receiving treatment, we stay in close communication to understand your recovery and ensure your case reflects the full scope of your injuries.
  3. Investigation and Case Building
     We gather all necessary documentation — medical records, police reports, photographs, witness statements, and insurance details — to build a strong case from the beginning.
  4. Demand and Negotiation
     Once your treatment is complete, we prepare a detailed demand package outlining your injuries, expenses, and losses. We then negotiate directly with the insurance company to pursue a fair and full settlement.
  5. Settlement or Litigation
     Most cases settle without going to court, but if the insurance company refuses to offer what you deserve, we’re fully prepared to file a lawsuit and take the case into litigation when necessary.
  6. Case Resolution and Disbursement
     After settlement or judgment, we handle any remaining medical liens or balances and ensure you receive your portion of the recovery. You’ll get a clear breakdown of where every dollar goes.
