After the crash

The first 48 hours after a crash

What you do right now shapes the entire claim. Move through these — then let us take it from here.

  1. 01

    Call 911

    Get an officer on scene so the crash is documented in a Texas Peace Officer's Crash Report.

  2. 02

    Get checked

    See a doctor the same day — whiplash, concussions, and disc injuries often surface days later.

  3. 03

    Document everything

    Photograph the vehicles, the road, your injuries, and grab the other driver's plate, license, and insurance.

  4. 04

    Don't talk to their insurer

    No recorded statement, no quick check, no signing a release. Early words are used to cut your payout.

  5. 05

    Call us

    We take over — dealing with adjusters, locking down evidence, and valuing the full claim. Free, 24/7.

Know the game

Their insurance company vs. us

The at-fault driver's insurer has one job: pay you as little as possible. Here's their playbook — and how Chris flips it.

What the at-fault insurer does

  • Calls within days, friendly, 'just checking in' — while recording you.
  • Dangles a fast, low offer before you know if you need surgery.
  • Blames you to trigger Texas comparative fault and shrink the check.
  • Treats your totaled car and ER bills as someone else's problem.
  • Drags out the claim, betting you'll get tired and settle cheap.

How Chris fights for you

  • We become your only point of contact — no recorded statement, ever.
  • We value the FULL claim — future care, lost wages, pain — before anyone signs.
  • We pull the crash report, camera footage, and black-box data to lock liability in writing.
  • We handle property damage and connect you with doctors who treat on a lien.
  • We're trial-ready: if they won't pay, Chris files suit in Hidalgo County.

Why The Relentless Lawyer

A car-accident fighter who knows these roads — and never backs down.

We out-prepare the auto insurers

Auto insurers settle small claims fast and grind hard ones down. Chris works up every car-accident file as if a jury will see it — pulling the crash report, scene photos, and damage estimates — so the adjuster's offer reflects what your wreck really cost you.

Bilingual & from the Valley

We're not an out-of-town 1-800 number. Chris grew up driving these same expressways, our whole team is bilingual, and we walk you through your car-accident claim in English or Spanish — whichever feels like home.

No fee unless we win

Your case review is free and nothing comes out of your pocket. We're only paid a percentage if we recover for you — so when the other driver's insurer lowballs you, our incentive is to push for every dollar, just like yours.

Recognized & Awarded

Honored by the institutions that vet attorneys.

Common questions

Car-accident answers before you even call.

What should I do right after a car accident in McAllen?

If you can, move to safety and call 911 so an officer documents the crash. Photograph the vehicles, the road, and any injuries; get the other driver's license, plate, and insurance; and collect witness names. See a doctor the same day even if you feel okay. Then call us before giving any statement to the other driver's insurer — what you say early can be used to cut your payout.

How long do I have to file a car accident claim in Texas?

In most Texas car accident cases you have two years from the date of the crash to file a lawsuit. Waiting hurts you, though — dashcam footage gets overwritten, skid marks fade, and witnesses move. The sooner you call, the more evidence we can lock down for your claim.

What if the driver who hit me had no insurance or fled the scene?

You may still recover. If you carry uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage, your own policy can pay for a hit-and-run or an uninsured at-fault driver — and Texas drivers often have this coverage without realizing it. We review your policy for free, find every layer of coverage, and fight your own insurer if it stalls on a UM claim.

The insurance company offered me a settlement already — should I take it?

Almost never without talking to a lawyer first. A fast offer made days after a wreck is designed to close your claim before you know whether you'll need an MRI, injections, or surgery — and once you sign the release, you can't ask for more. Let us value the full claim, including future care and your damaged vehicle, before you accept anything.
