We don’t get paid unless you win.
The last thing you need to worry about is how to pay for an attorney when you are juggling medical bills, car repairs, and time off work. The good news is that we’ll handle your car accident case on a contingency basis, which means there are never any out-of-pocket fees or expenses. We only get paid if we win compensation for you ― either through settlement or a trial.

You’ll need a dedicated car accident lawyer at your side to navigate through your personal injury claim.
Car accidents can be complicated.
It may be the case that the accident was caused entirely by the other party, or by some combination of the other driver’s actions and your own. Even if you were partly negligent, Texas law allows you to make a claim as long as your own negligence didn’t contribute more than 50 percent of the fault for the car crash.
An experienced car accident lawyer can help you prove:
- The other driver acted negligently, recklessly, or intentionally
- The other driver’s actions caused the accident
- You suffered harm that can be compensated
- Your harm was caused by the accident
Fight for the compensation you deserve.
When you hire McDonald Law Firm, you will receive top-notch legal services from a powerful Texas personal injury firm. Moreover, we’ll be on your side throughout the entire process so that you don’t have to worry about insurance adjusters, medical bills, or time off of work.

Talk to an experienced car accident lawyer before you…
- Provide statements about your accident.
Insurance companies have been known to pressure victims into sharing information about their accident that could be used against them. Sharing this information without legal counsel could limit how much you are paid for your accident. - Sign any medical authorization release forms.
Insurance companies know that the information on these forms may expose your private health history. This information could work against you in a claim. - Discuss or consider a settlement.
Accident victims who negotiate settlements without an attorney are more likely to receive settlement offers that are much lower than their claim is actually worth.
We’ll go head-to-head with the insurance company so you don’t have to.
After an accident, the insurance company’s primary objective is to pay the smallest amount possible to settle your car accident claim. In other words, insurance companies are in business to make money. The less you get paid for your claim, the more they profit. As a result, insurance companies make billions of dollars every year by settling claims as quickly as possible.
Evidence is essential to building a strong case. We know what to do: 877-803-2897
Testimony
Witness statements can be the difference between having a valuable case and having no case at all. Even if you believe liability is clear, it’s always important to collect the contact information from anyone who witnessed the accident. As your lawyer, we will contact witnesses to question, record their version of events, and ensure that the facts are presented in a way to limit your liability for the car accident.
Accident Reports
A police report can often provide essential details about your car accident, but it doesn’t have to be the final word. It’s important to know that if you feel your accident report contains errors, misrepresents the situation, or places you partially at fault, you still have options. Consider contacting one of the car accident lawyers at McDonald Law Firm for help. It may be possible that we’re able to find new evidence or witnesses to help amend the report and better support your claim.
Medical Documentation
Even if your injuries seem minor, it’s imperative that you seek medical attention as soon as possible after your car accident. Waiting to seek treatment or failing to show for doctor’s appointments is considered a “gap in treatment” and can be devastating to your personal injury claim. Consequently, without detailed medical records and a consistent treatment history, there is little to no evidence to support your personal injury claim.
Photographs
Photos are one of the best ways to document the reality of your accident. Pictures of your injuries, including any cuts, abrasions, bruises, casts, stitches, surgery scars, etc., may be used as evidence to support your personal injury claim. Also, images of the accident itself, including damage to your car, damage to the other car, debris, skid marks, the intersection, and road conditions are all very important for your claim.
Settlement vs. Lawsuit?
We know how to negotiate.
Our team will use the evidence collected from your accident to negotiate with the insurance company to get you the best settlement possible. If the insurance company presents a fair and reasonable settlement, you can accept and move on with your life.
Does your insurance company dispute your version of what happened in the crash?
In the event that you and your insurance company fail to come to an agreement, the skilled car accident lawyers at McDonald Law Firm will not hesitate to go to trial. We are true trial lawyers with years of real courtroom experience.
We realize that a successful resolution, whether through settlement or trial, often enables our clients to move on with their lives, without worrying about how they’re going to pay for the future. When you hire McDonald Law Firm to resolve your car accident claim, you put the power of our qualifications, history, experience, and success on your side.
