If you are wondering how much it costs to hire Jim Adler & Associates for a car accident in Texas, the answer is simple: $0 in upfront costs. At Jim Adler & Associates, we operate on a contingency fee basis. This means you do not pay us a single dime out of pocket to take your case. Our attorney fees are exclusively a percentage of the settlement or court judgment we recover for you. To put it simply: You don’t pay unless we win.
When your life is turned upside down by a devastating car wreck, an 18-wheeler accident, or a company vehicle crash, the financial shockwave can be overwhelming. Between piling medical bills, lost wages from missing work, and the physical pain of recovery, the very last thing you need to worry about is how to afford a high-powered attorney.
Corporate insurance companies have endless resources, armies of lawyers, and massive war chests dedicated to delaying, minimizing, or outright denying your legitimate injury claim. They want you to feel desperate so you will accept a lowball settlement. The contingency fee model levels the playing field, allowing hardworking Texas families to arm themselves with an experienced trial law firm without risking their own financial security.
Here is everything you need to know about how personal injury attorney fees work in Texas, and how the Jim Adler & Associates risk-free guarantee protects you.
Our risk-free guarantee is designed to give you total peace of mind. Under a standard hourly fee arrangement, clients are billed hundreds of dollars an hour just to speak with their attorney, regardless of the case’s outcome. This model is impossible for the average accident victim who is already drowning in hospital bills.
With our risk-free contingency fee guarantee:
By working on a contingency fee basis, our goals are aligned with yours. We are highly motivated to fight for the maximum compensation you deserve because our payment is directly tied to the success of your case.
While the concept of a contingency fee is straightforward, it is important to understand exactly how the percentages and costs break down. According to the Texas Disciplinary Rules of Professional Conduct, any contingent fee agreement must be put in writing, clearly stating the method by which the fee is determined.
When you sign with Jim Adler & Associates, we will walk you through our fee agreement transparently so there are never any surprises. Generally, in the State of Texas, personal injury contingency fees follow a standard structure:
If we negotiate a settlement with the at-fault driver’s insurance company without needing to file a lawsuit, the attorney fee is a standard 35% of the total gross settlement amount.
If the insurance company refuses to offer a fair settlement and we must file a lawsuit to take them to court, the amount of time, labor, and resources required increases exponentially. In these scenarios, the contingency fee increases to 40% of the gross recovery.
Before speaking to a corporate insurance adjuster who might try to use your words against you to justify a lowball offer, let our team review your case for free to explain your rights and options.
Building a rock-solid, trial-ready personal injury case requires money. Obtaining official police reports, requesting thousands of pages of medical records, hiring accident reconstruction experts, and paying court filing fees all cost money. Under our risk-free guarantee, our firm fronts all of these case expenses for you. When your case is successfully resolved, these expenses are deducted from the final settlement or verdict along with the attorney’s percentage. If we do not win your case, you do not reimburse us for these law firm expenses. We shoulder all the financial risk.
Texas roads are notoriously dangerous. Whether you are navigating the chaotic highways of Houston, the congested interstates of Dallas, the sprawling loops of San Antonio, or the industrial corridors of Channelview, negligent drivers are everywhere.
According to the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), a reportable crash occurs in Texas almost every minute of every single day. Year after year, thousands of Texans are tragically killed, and hundreds of thousands are seriously injured in wrecks that could have been prevented.
When you are involved in a serious collision, you are not just fighting the at-fault driver; you are going to war with their insurance company. These corporations employ adjusters whose sole job is to protect their bottom line.
For over 50 years, Jim Adler & Associates has stood as a fiercely compassionate advocate for accident victims. And a feared warrior by the insurance company. We have won billions of dollars for those wronged by the negligence of others. We know the tactics insurance companies use, and we know how to dismantle their defenses.
When we take your case, our objective is to make you whole again. Under the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code, injury victims are entitled to pursue several types of compensation (damages) if they can prove the other party’s negligence. Our legal team meticulously calculates these damages to ensure no money is left on the table.
We fight for:
Proving these damages requires deep legal expertise, substantial evidence, and an aggressive litigation strategy. You should not have to navigate the complex Texas Transportation Code or the rules of civil procedure alone.
Not all law firms are created equal. You need an experienced personal injury law firm that actually has the resources, expertise and the grit to take cases to trial if necessary. Jim Adler & Associates focuses heavily on the complex nuances of severe injury claims. From catastrophic 18-wheeler crashes, to devastating work injuries, wrongful death claims, and everyday intersection collisions, we have seen it all.
Our firm is built on fighting for the little guy against massive corporate interests. We treat every client like family, offering compassionate support during the darkest moments of your life while aggressively pursuing the justice you are owed.
Because we take cases on a contingency basis, we are selective. When we say “yes” to your case, it means we believe in you, we believe in your case, and we are ready to deploy our firm’s massive resources to fight for you.
You have suffered enough physical pain and emotional trauma. Do not let the insurance companies bully you into a cheap settlement that won’t even cover your past and future medical care. It is time to bring down the hammer.
We are ready to put our 50+ years of legal experience and billions of dollars in results to work for you. Remember our risk-free guarantee: There are absolutely NO upfront costs, and we only get paid if you win.
Do not wait until critical evidence disappears or the Texas statute of limitations expires on your claim. Stand up to the insurance companies today.
