Plano Personal Injury Lawyers Who Know Collin County

If you were hurt in a crash or accident in Plano that wasn’t your fault, Moxie Law Group is ready to fight for you. We are a female-founded personal injury firm representing injury victims across Plano and Collin County from our nearby Dallas and Lewisville offices. Consultations are free, and you pay nothing unless we win your case.

Where Plano Injury Cases Are Actually Decided

Venue matters more than most injury victims realize. Most Plano personal injury lawsuits are filed in the Collin County District Courts or County Courts at Law in McKinney, while portions of far west Plano fall under Denton County jurisdiction. Insurance companies evaluate what a claim is worth partly based on how juries in that county have treated similar cases, which is why working with a firm that litigates in North Texas courts, rather than a settlement mill, changes the math on your claim.

Texas Laws That Control Your Plano Injury Claim

Three rules shape nearly every Plano injury case:

• The two-year deadline. Under Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code § 16.003, you generally have two years from the date of injury to file suit. Miss it and your claim is gone, no matter how strong.
• The 51% bar. Texas follows modified comparative fault. If you are found 51% or more responsible, you recover nothing; below that, your award is reduced by your percentage of fault. Insurers know this and work hard to shift blame onto you, don’t give a recorded statement before talking to a lawyer.
• Damages. You can pursue medical bills (past and future), lost wages and earning capacity, pain and suffering, and in egregious cases exemplary damages. There is no cap on compensation in standard injury cases, caps apply mainly to medical malpractice claims.

Where Plano Crashes Happen

Plano’s worst wrecks cluster on its high-speed commuter corridors: US-75 Central Expressway, the President George Bush Turnpike, the Dallas North Tollway, and the Sam Rayburn Tollway (SH 121), plus heavy arterials like Preston Road, Spring Creek Parkway, and Legacy Drive. High-speed merges and stop-and-go congestion produce rear-end and multi-vehicle collisions where fault disputes are common, exactly the cases where early investigation and crash reconstruction make the difference.

Cases We Handle for Plano Clients

Our Texas personal injury practice covers car accidents, commercial truck accidents, motorcycle accidents, rideshare (Uber/Lyft) injuries, pedestrian and bicycle accidents, premises liability and slip and falls, dog bites, medical malpractice, defective products, workplace injuries, and wrongful death claims.

“Do I Need a Plano Personal Injury Attorney?”

Any lawyer licensed in Texas can handle your Plano case, what matters is experience with cases like yours, not office proximity. If you have a Texas personal injury claim, you need a firm that has handled similar claims and isn’t afraid to take a case to trial when the insurance company won’t be fair.

Not All Texas Personal Injury Attorneys Are the Same

Some firms take every case that walks in the door and settle as fast as possible. That’s not Moxie. If the insurance company’s initial offer is genuinely your best option, we’ll tell you so during your free consultation. We’d rather give you honest advice than churn your case. When we do take your case, it’s because we believe we can put more money in your pocket, and we prepare every file as if it’s going to trial.

What It Costs to Hire Us

Nothing upfront. Your consultation is free, and we work on contingency: our fee is a pre-negotiated percentage of your settlement or judgment. If you don’t recover, we don’t get paid. Everyone in Plano deserves access to an experienced injury attorney, regardless of income.

How the Process Works

It starts with a free phone consultation. If we can help, we’ll gather your medical records, the police report, and other evidence, then handle every conversation with the insurance company so you can focus on healing. Most cases settle through negotiation; when insurers won’t offer fair compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering, we file suit and litigate.

Car Accidents in Plano

US-75, the Sam Rayburn Tollway, and the President George Bush Turnpike carry Plano’s heaviest traffic, and corridors like Preston Road and Spring Creek Parkway add daily collisions closer to home. Our Plano car accident attorneys document injuries and preserve evidence early, before the insurance company writes its own version of events.

Plano Personal Injury FAQs

I was partially at fault for my Plano accident. Can I still recover compensation?

Possibly. Texas follows a modified comparative fault rule with a 51 percent bar. As long as you were not more than 50 percent responsible, you can recover compensation, reduced by your share of the fault. Do not accept an adjuster’s fault assessment without talking to an attorney first.

What does it cost to hire a Plano personal injury attorney?

Nothing upfront. We work on contingency, so our fee is a percentage of what we recover for you. If you do not win, you do not pay, and your consultation is free.

The insurance company offered me a quick settlement. Should I take it?

Not before you understand the full value of your claim. Early offers rarely cover future medical care, lost earning capacity, or pain and suffering, and once you accept, the claim is closed for good. Have an attorney review the offer first at no cost.
