Edinburg Personal Injury FAQ

How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit if I was hurt in Edinburg?

Texas law gives you two years from the date of your injury under Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 16.003. If your case involves a government entity — such as the City of Edinburg, Hidalgo County, or TXDOT — you must file a formal notice of claim within six months. Missing either deadline permanently bars your claim. Contact Chris Sanchez as soon as possible to preserve your rights.

Where are personal injury lawsuits filed for Edinburg accidents?

Lawsuits arising from accidents in Edinburg (and all of Hidalgo County) are filed in the Hidalgo County District Courts at the Hidalgo County Courthouse, 100 N. Closner Blvd., Edinburg, TX 78539. Chris Sanchez litigates regularly in all Hidalgo County civil courts and knows the local procedures and judicial preferences that affect case strategy and outcomes.

What are my options if I was hurt at UTRGV or on a university-owned property in Edinburg?

The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley is a state institution, making it a government entity for tort liability purposes. You must comply with the Texas Tort Claims Act (Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 101.001 et seq.), which requires timely notice and limits sovereign immunity waivers for certain claim types. Chris Sanchez evaluates UTRGV injury claims and advises on notice deadlines.

Are there Spanish-speaking personal injury lawyers in Edinburg?

Yes — Chris Sanchez and his entire staff are fully bilingual in English and Spanish. In Edinburg, where over 90% of residents are Hispanic, we handle cases entirely in Spanish for clients who prefer it. Todo el proceso legal puede llevarse a cabo en español, desde la consulta gratuita hasta el juicio.

What if the driver who hit me in Edinburg was uninsured?

Texas has one of the highest rates of uninsured drivers in the nation. If the at-fault driver had no insurance, your own uninsured motorist (UM) coverage steps in to pay your damages. If you have no UM coverage, Chris Sanchez investigates all other potential sources of recovery — employer liability, property owners, government entities — before concluding that compensation is unavailable.

Does Chris Sanchez take cases on contingency in Edinburg?

Yes. The Law Office of Chris Sanchez works on a contingency fee basis for all personal injury cases: you pay nothing unless and until we win or settle your case. There are no upfront fees, no hourly charges, and no retainer. Our fee is a percentage of the recovery, paid at the conclusion of the case. Call (956) 686-4357 for a free consultation.
