Frequently Asked Questions
How long do I have to sue after an accident in La Joya, TX?
Texas § 16.003 gives you two years from the injury date. The clock starts running immediately — even if you are still treating or negotiating with an insurance adjuster. Call us now to protect your claim.
What roads are most dangerous in La Joya?
US-83 is a high-speed multilane highway where rear-end and merge crashes are common. The frontage roads along US-83 also generate side-impact collisions. Brushline Road and FM-2221 see agricultural truck traffic that creates dangerous passing situations.
I was hurt by a farm truck — can I sue the employer?
Yes. If the driver was an employee acting within the scope of their job, you can hold the employer liable under respondeat superior. Texas law also allows direct negligent entrustment claims against employers who gave an unsafe vehicle to a negligent driver.
Which court handles La Joya cases?
La Joya is in Hidalgo County. Cases are filed in the Hidalgo County District Courts in Edinburg (92nd, 93rd, 206th, 332nd, or 370th). Chris Sanchez has litigated in all of these courts.
What if I was injured while working in a field or on a job site?
Texas allows employees to sue non-subscriber employers directly under § 406.033 — meaning the employer cannot use the “contributory negligence” or “fellow servant” defenses. Farmworker and construction worker injuries are a significant part of our practice.
