Pursuing Fair Compensation for Serious Injuries
We start preparing your personal injury case from day one. With our in-house investigators, we visit the scene of your accident to gather evidence and talk to witnesses. We work to have the clearest possible understanding of your accident on hand when we meet with the insurance companies or present evidence in court.
Then, we talk to your doctors and medical experts to get a solid understanding of your injuries and their permanency.
We find answers to questions, such as:
- What are the rehabilitation or physical therapy costs?
- Will you be able to work the same job? If not, what jobs can you work?
- Will you need to alter your home, car, or other property?
- What other costs have you faced because of the accident?
In court, we present pictures, such as your MRI, so that the jury can better understand your injury and its effects. We want the jury to appreciate your entire experience.
Understanding Your Rights After an Accident
After an accident, it can be overwhelming to navigate the legal landscape. Many individuals are unaware of their rights and the options available to them.

That's why we are committed to educating our clients about their legal rights and the steps they can take to protect themselves.
Here are some key rights you should be aware of:

- The Right to Compensation: If someone else's negligence caused your injuries, you have the right to pursue compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
- The Right to Legal Representation: You have the right to hire an attorney who will advocate for your best interests and help you navigate the complexities of your case.

I have gone through hell in the family court system in Texas against the father of my children, who is an attorney in our community with abundant legal resources. After years of fighting for my children, I was unjustly put in criminal contempt for not bringing my daughter to soccer practice despite following the custody agreement and the advice of my attorneys at the time. I asked about appeal options, and while the attorneys felt my case was justified, they said it would be a waste of my time and money and that only two percent of cases win on appeal. However, as a mother and a teacher, I wanted to clear my reputation and fight for what’s right. I hired a law firm to file a mandamus with the Court of Appeals, but the court denied our petition. Not wanting to give up, I decided to go to the Texas Supreme Court. After consulting with a few attorneys who were very discouraging and didn’t want to take my case, one referred me to Attorney Sam Cole. Sam told me my case was a long shot but agreed I was right and would fight for me if I wanted to proceed. He worked with me on my case and on a payment plan that worked for my situation. He always explained everything and answered questions with patience and understanding. He thoroughly researched all that had happened and the law that surrounded the issue. Sam treated me as a person and not just a paycheck, and had I lost in the Supreme Court, I would still be writing this review. However, the Supreme Court did rule in our favor, and after more than 2.5 years of this hanging over my head, I am completely vindicated. I hope the outcome of my case will help prevent this from happening to others in the future.Pamela J.

No one ever wants a need for an attorney, but if you do, I highly recommend Mr. Jim Cole and his wonderful staff. Everyone in this office is knowledgeable and friendly. They made me feel like I was more than just a client. Without a doubt, should the need arise again, my first choice would be Mr. Cole.Anna
