After an accident, the pain is real—and so is the financial stress. Medical bills, lost work, and emotional distress can overwhelm you fast. But if someone else caused your injuries, you don’t have to carry the burden alone. You deserve fair compensation, not just to recover, but to move forward. At McCray Law Firm, we help you seek justice and secure your future.
What Counts as Compensation?
In a personal injury case, compensation (also called damages) covers more than just doctor visits. It can include emergency care, follow-up treatments, lost wages, and even the emotional toll of the accident. This is where non-economic damages come in—pain, suffering, and loss of quality of life.
Under Texas law, the amount you can recover depends on many factors. Insurance companies may offer quick settlements, but those are often much lower than what you’re entitled to.
What Affects the Value of Your Case?
The value of your claim depends on how badly you were hurt and how the injury affects your daily life. It also matters how strong your evidence is—medical records, police reports, and photos from the scene help a lot.
Another big factor is insurance policy limits. If the at-fault driver’s insurance is too low, it may not cover your full damages. But don’t give up—there may be other ways to collect, and a good personal injury lawyer knows how to find them.
That’s where McCray Law Firm comes in. We dig deep and fight for every dollar you’re owed.
Mistakes That Could Hurt Your Claim
One of the most common mistakes people make is talking to an insurance adjuster before getting legal advice. These adjusters are trained to pay out as little as possible.
Another mistake is not keeping track of your pain, injuries, and appointments. Insurance companies use gaps in treatment as an excuse to deny or lower your claim.
And never settle fast just because you need money now. Once you sign, your case is over—even if new injuries show up later.
How to Build a Strong Case
Start by getting medical care right away. Keep every receipt, prescription, and note from your doctor. Use your phone to take pictures of your injuries and the accident scene.
Next, call a trusted personal injury attorney. A lawyer can gather evidence, talk to witnesses, and deal with the insurance company so you don’t have to.
The team at McCray Law Firm works directly with clients, giving each case personal attention. We have experience in all kinds of claims—car accidents, 18-wheeler crashes, wrongful death, and more.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Can I still get compensation if I was partially at fault for the accident?
Yes. Texas follows a modified comparative negligence rule. If you were less than 51% at fault, you can still recover compensation, but your award will be reduced based on your percentage of fault. - What if I don’t have health insurance? Can I still get treatment?
Yes. Some providers will treat you under a medical lien, meaning they’ll be paid from your settlement later. A personal injury lawyer can help connect you with doctors who offer this option. - How long does it take to get compensation after filing a claim?
It varies. Some cases settle in a few months, while others—especially those involving large damages or disputes—can take a year or more. Having a lawyer often speeds up the process by avoiding delays and handling negotiations. - Will my personal injury case have to go to court?
Most claims are resolved through settlements. However, if the insurance company refuses to offer fair compensation, your attorney may recommend filing a lawsuit and preparing for trial. - What costs are involved in hiring McCray Law Firm?
At McCray Law Firm, we work on a contingency fee basis. That means you pay nothing upfront, and we only get paid if we win your case.
