FAQ

Common Questions About
‍Personal Injury Cases in Texas

  • Do I need a lawyer for my Texas injury case?

    We see it all too often — people trying to handle claims on their own and getting offered pennies on the dollar. Remember, insurance adjusters aren't your friends — they're trained negotiators who handle thousands of claims. Meanwhile, you're in pain, on medication, and trying to recover. Let our personal injury attorneys in Texas fight for you, so you can focus on what really matters — getting better.

  • Can I afford to hire a Texas attorney?

    If you're worried about costs, let us ease your mind right now. At Rice & Kendig, we don't get paid unless you do — period. When you walk through our doors, your consultation is completely free. Our success is tied directly to yours, which is exactly how it should be.

  • How do I pay for medical bills before my settlement?

    If insurance isn’t an option, our team works directly with local medical providers across the region to arrange treatment on a per-lien basis. This means your doctors get paid from your settlement, not from your pocket right now. This allows you to get the excellent treatment you deserve. Your recovery — both physical and financial — is our priority.
