Questions
What is the statute of limitations for personal injury claims in Texas?
Most personal injury claims in Texas have a two-year statute of limitations from the accident date. Exceptions apply for minors, out-of-state defendants, and delayed injury discovery.
How do I know if I have a valid personal injury claim?
You may have a valid claim if you suffered injuries due to someone else's negligence, unsafe property conditions, defective products, or medical errors. Consult our attorneys for free case evaluation.
What does 'contingency fee' mean for my case?
Our contingency fee means you pay no upfront costs. We only receive payment (33.33%-45% depending on case progression) if we successfully recover compensation for you.
Can I still recover damages if partially at fault?
Texas follows modified comparative negligence. You can recover damages if 50% or less at fault, with compensation reduced by your percentage of responsibility.
What damages can I recover in a personal injury case?
You may recover medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, property damage, and future care costs. Our attorneys help quantify both economic and non-economic damages.
How are rideshare accidents different from regular car accidents?
Rideshare accidents involve complex insurance coverage tiers depending on the driver's status. Our attorneys navigate Uber/Lyft policies and commercial insurance requirements to maximize your compensation.

I contacted multiple law firms over the weekend and this law firm was the first and only one to contact back. Lawyer Paul Cannon provided valuable information and guidance. He was fast to respond and extremely knowledgeable regarding the law and answering my questions. I highly recommend this law firm. If I ever have any other injury or accident lawsuits in the future, I would definitely contact this law firm again!

Very professional group Of attorneys and support staff who I have had the pleasure to deal with. They walked me through the whole process and made sure I knew the status of my case at every turn. Chris Fletcher's paralegal, Stephanie Quinn, was wonderful to deal with and was always very clear with her instructions and always answered my questions and emails in a very timely manner. I can't recommend Simmons and Fletcher enough. They helped me when I needed it most!

Simmons and Fletcher helped me weather the aftermath of a horrible car accident. they delt with the insurance companies and let me focus on getting better. Stephanie Gomez was wonderful, answering all my questions, even when I was just anxious about the process. My body may never be the same but because of them we are able to financially face that.

Simmons & Fletcher is an absolutely top-notch law firm. They took care of our lawsuit in a extremely efficient and hard-working manner. We received a settlement beyond anything we couldve imagined. Chris Fletcher and his team insured that my daughter got to see the doctors that she needed to see, that her medical bills were taken care of. And that the people responsible for her accident had to pay for it.

If you are in need of a personal injury attorney I highly highly recommend Chris Fletcher with Simmons & Fletcher!

I cannot recommend this firm enough. Chris Fletcher represented me and my experience was great from start to finish. Chris was honest, accessible, and easy to talk to. His paralegal, Stephanie Quinn, was also incredibly helpful along the way, making sure to stay in contact with me and keeping me updated on all the details I needed to know, even though I can sometimes be difficult to get in touch with.

I felt like they always had my best interest in mind and that my case was in good hands. The outcome of my case ended up being even better than I expected. These are great people who are great at what they do. If you choose Simmons & Fletcher, you will not regret it.

I guess we are all a bit hesitant to have to hire a lawyer, at least I know I was, but Simmons and Fletcher PC was highly recommended by a trusted friend so I decided to contact them for help with the automobile accident in which I was injured. They went far beyond my expectations making sure that I was comfortable with their help. The information I received was on a regular basis, and any questions or comments I had were quickly handled. Ms. Stephanie Quinn, my lawyer's paralegal, was in contact with me on a regular basis, I couldn't have asked for a more professional and kind individual to assist me.

My lawyer, Chris Fletcher, was very thorough and answered all my questions quickly. The work he performed on my behalf is greatly appreciated. If I should ever need legal assistance in the future, I definitely will contact Simmons and Fletcher, and i would high recommend you to contact them as well, should you need an attorney to represent you.

I can't help but share the gratitude that I feel for the work done, by this law firm. Without disclosing all the details, all I can say is when it came down to the settlement part of the hearing, they truly defined their commitment to being the most fair, understanding, and upstanding Christians, they are!!! They are a true example of what of the definition of a Christian is!!! I was so overwhelmed with emotions, and the end of a long, two year battle, that all I could do, while trying maintain some sort of dignity, was hug, Mrs. Sharon Simmons Cantrell's neck, for her unbelievable dedication, to go above and beyond, this firms expectations to get it resolved!!

God bless you and thank you Mrs. Cantrell !! In short, if you are in search of an attorney, for any sort of lawsuit, and need one, with compassion, to take care of your interests, Simmons and Fletcher, will be there for you all the way to the end, providing not only the best possible law services, but with dignity, respect, and so much honor, even the judge asked her for a business card.
Now, that should say it all! In his words, you are truly a Mensch!! Thank You,
