Frequently Asked Questions — Pleasanton Injury Cases
How long do I have to file an injury claim in Pleasanton?
Texas gives you 2 years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury lawsuit (§ 16.003). Wrongful death cases follow the same deadline measured from the date of death. Do not wait — insurance companies use delay to their advantage.
Can I recover damages if I was partially at fault for my accident?
Yes. Under Texas's modified comparative fault rule (Chapter 33, Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code), you can still recover as long as you were 50% or less at fault. Your compensation is simply reduced by your percentage of fault.
What damages can I recover in a Pleasanton injury case?
Recoverable damages include past and future medical bills, lost wages, loss of earning capacity, pain and suffering, mental anguish, and — in cases of gross negligence — punitive damages under § 41.003. Call Chris for a free case evaluation.

Pleasanton Personal Injury Cases
Pleasanton, the seat of Atascosa County, sits at the intersection of Texas state highways 97, 16, and 281, and serves as a major hub for the Eagle Ford Shale oilfield region. Personal injury cases in Pleasanton commonly involve oilfield trucking accidents on US-281 and TX-97, agricultural vehicle collisions on rural FM roads, and crashes related to the Eagle Ford energy industry traffic that has reshaped Atascosa County since 2010.
The Atascosa County District Court in Jourdanton handles most Pleasanton personal injury lawsuits exceeding $250,000 in damages, with smaller cases filed in the County Court at Law. Venue selection matters because rural Texas juries typically return different damage averages than urban jury pools — Chris evaluates whether to file in Atascosa County or a different venue (where allowed under Chapter 15 of the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code) based on which produces the highest realistic recovery for your specific case.
What to do after a Pleasanton-area accident: get medical attention at South Texas Regional Medical Center or another nearby ER even if you feel okay; photograph the scene, vehicle damage, and any commercial truck DOT numbers; request the police report from Atascosa County Sheriff or Pleasanton PD; preserve any dashcam footage; and contact Chris Sanchez at (956) 686-4357 before giving any statement to the at-fault driver’s insurance. Free consultation in English and Spanish, contingency fee — no fee unless we win.
