If you have been injured in a crash, you might be worried about how you will afford a premier law firm. The bottom line is this: you do not pay a car accident lawyer out of your own pocket.
At Jim Adler & Associates, we work on a contingency fee basis. This means we advance all the costs of fighting your case, and our attorney fees are paid directly as a percentage of the final settlement or jury verdict recovered from the at-fault party’s insurance company. If we do not win your case, you owe us absolutely nothing for our legal services.
After a severe car wreck, an 18-wheeler accident, or a crash involving a company vehicle, victims are often overwhelmed by mounting medical bills, lost wages, and physical pain. The last thing you need is a massive hourly legal bill.
The contingency fee system is designed to level the playing field for the little guy. It allows everyday Texas families to hire a powerhouse law firm with over 50 years of experience without having to pay a single dime upfront.
In Texas, a lawyer’s fee is completely transparent. Under Texas Government Code § 82.065, all contingency fee contracts must be strictly in writing and signed by both the attorney and the client. This legally binds the lawyer and the client to the agreed-upon percentage (INTER-LINK TO PREVIOUS ARTICLE)
Because our fee is a percentage of the offer or result, the more money we recover for you, the more we recover for the firm. This written contract ensures that your lawyer’s goals are perfectly aligned with yours. We are heavily incentivized to fight for the maximum compensation you deserve, rather than just settling for whatever lowball offer the insurance company throws on the table.

The contingency fee is collected from amount the insurance company or the party responsible for your injuries pays.
When you are hit by a negligent driver, their liability insurance is responsible for covering your damages. Under the Texas Transportation Code, all drivers are required to carry minimum liability limits of $30,000 per person and $60,000 per occurrence. However, commercial trucks and company vehicles can carry massive multi-million-dollar corporate policies.
When Jim Adler & Associates takes your case, we tally up every single loss you have suffered. Some of these include:
We demand that the at-fault driver’s insurance company pays for these damages and more. Once a settlement is reached or a jury awards a verdict, the insurance company cuts a check. It is from this check that our contingency fee and your expenses are paid. The remainder goes directly into your pocket to help you rebuild your life.
Corporate insurance giants are in the business of making money, not helping injured Texans. They have almost limitless resources, armies of corporate lawyers, and highly trained adjusters whose only job is to deny, delay, and devalue your claim.
When they refuse to pay fairly, The Texas Hammer® steps in. Because we cover the costs of litigation upfront, including hiring accident reconstructionists, pulling black box data from 18-wheelers, and retaining medical experts, we have the firepower to take them to court. We front the money for the fight so you don’t have to.
Determining who pays ultimately comes down to proving fault. Texas operates under a “modified comparative fault” system, outlined in the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code § 33.001.
This law states that you can recover compensation for an accident as long as you are not more than 50% responsible for the crash. However, insurance companies notoriously try to use this law to their advantage. They will try to shift some of the blame onto you to reduce the amount they have to pay, or to deny your claim entirely.
You need an aggressive Texas trial law firm to investigate the crash, gather the police reports, interview witnesses, and prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that the other driver’s negligence caused your injuries.
The harsh reality is that Texas roads are incredibly dangerous, and accidents are rarely “just an accident”, they are the result of negligence. According to the most recent data from the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), a reportable crash occurs every 57 seconds in Texas. In 2024 alone, traffic crashes killed 4,150 people and injured over 251,000 others across the state.
Whether you are navigating the dangerous corridors of I-45 in Houston, dealing with heavy commercial traffic in Dallas or San Antonio, or passing through Channelview, the risk of a life-altering wreck is high. While we hope you never become a part of these statistics, if you are injured due to a drunk driver, a distracted teen, or an exhausted 18-wheeler driver, we are here for you.
One of the oldest tricks in the insurance company playbook is convincing victims that hiring a lawyer is too expensive. They want you to think you will be hit with massive out-of-pocket bills. Why? Because they know that accident victims who hire an experienced personal injury law firm historically recover two to three times more money than those who try to handle the claim on their own.
By spreading the myth that lawyers are unaffordable, insurance companies hope you will accept a fast, cheap settlement before you realize the true long-term cost of your injuries. Once you agree to a settlement over the phone or sign their release, you can never go back for more money, even if you need surgery or expensive medical treatment later.
With Jim Adler & Associates, affordability is never an issue. We believe that justice should not be reserved only for the wealthy. With offices in Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, and Channelview, our team is accessible and ready to hammer the insurance companies on your behalf.
