How to Reach The Law Office of Chris Sanchez
Whether you’re reaching out after a car accident in McAllen, an 18-wheeler crash on US-83, an oil refinery injury near Corpus Christi, or a slip and fall at H-E-B, Chris Sanchez is available 24/7 for a free consultation. The fastest way to get help is by phone — most consultations take 15 minutes, and Chris will tell you immediately whether you have a case worth pursuing.
What to Have Ready When You Call
To make your free consultation as productive as possible, gather what you have on hand:
- Date and location of the accident or injury
- Police report or incident report number (if available)
- Names and insurance info of any other parties involved
- Photos of the scene, vehicles, or injuries
- Names of any witnesses
- Records of medical treatment received so far
- Any communication from insurance companies (do not sign anything yet)
What Happens After You Contact Us
Step 1: Free consultation — Chris reviews your situation by phone, video, or in person.
Step 2: If we take your case, we sign a contingency fee agreement (no money out of pocket).
Step 3: We send preservation letters to all relevant parties to lock in evidence.
Step 4: We handle all communication with insurance companies — they cannot contact you directly anymore.
Step 5: We build your damages case while you focus on recovery.
Step 6: We negotiate the maximum settlement, or take your case to trial if needed.
The Law Office of Chris Sanchez serves clients throughout Texas — from the Rio Grande Valley to the Texas Gulf Coast, the Permian Basin, the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, and Central Texas.

What to Expect From Your Free Consultation
The first call lasts 15–30 minutes. We ask about the date and circumstances of your injury, the medical care you have received, the insurance information you have, and the timeline. By the end of the call, we tell you in plain language whether you have a viable Texas case, what range of recovery you might realistically see, and what evidence we need to preserve immediately. There is no pressure to retain us — you take that decision home with you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the consultation really free?
Yes. We never charge for the first conversation, and we never charge if we don’t take the case.
What if I’m not sure I have a case?
Call anyway. We tell you honestly. We turn down cases we can’t help with — and we refer you to the right firm when needed.
Can I call after hours?
Yes. We have an answering service that reaches an attorney within 30 minutes for emergencies.
Do I have to come to the office?
No. We come to you — hospital, home, or any safe meeting place across Texas.

What Happens at Each Stage of Your Texas Personal Injury Case
One of the most common questions we hear is “what happens after I sign with you?” Here is exactly what to expect, in the order it happens.
Stage 1 — Intake (Day 1 to Day 7)
We collect the police report, ER and follow-up medical records, photos, witness statements, and your auto policy declarations page. We send a representation letter to the at-fault carrier so they stop calling you, and a preservation letter to anyone who may have surveillance footage. If you need treatment and don’t have insurance, we connect you with Texas providers who accept work on a medical lien.
Stage 2 — Treatment Period (Months 1–6)
You focus on getting better. We monitor your recovery, gather every bill and record as it comes in, and stay in touch with your providers about your prognosis. Texas law lets us claim future medical expenses too, so it matters that we document everything thoroughly. Most cases are not ready to settle until you reach maximum medical improvement (MMI) — settling early almost always leaves money on the table.
Stage 3 — Demand and Negotiation (Months 6–10)
Once you reach MMI, we build the demand package: medical narrative, economic loss report, life-care plan if applicable, photographs, and a legal argument tying it all to liability. The at-fault insurer has 30 days under Texas Insurance Code §542 to respond. If they offer fair value, we negotiate to closing. If they don’t, we move to litigation.
Stage 4 — Litigation and Discovery (Months 10–18)
We file in the appropriate Texas court (Hidalgo, Cameron, Harris, Bexar, Nueces, or Travis County depending on venue), serve the defendant, exchange written discovery, take depositions, and retain expert witnesses. Most cases settle in the 90 days after depositions because that is when the insurer first sees how strong your testimony is.
Stage 5 — Mediation, Trial, or Settlement (Months 18–24+)
Texas mandates mediation in most personal injury cases before trial. About 90% of our cases resolve at or shortly after mediation. The remaining 10% go to a Texas jury — and we have the trial preparation in place because we built the case for trial from day one.
Frequently Asked Questions About Hiring Us
Will my call be confidential?
Yes — attorney-client privilege attaches the moment you start describing the case to us, even before you sign anything.
Do you need a deposit?
No deposit, no retainer, no hourly fee. Pure contingency. If we don’t recover, you owe nothing.
What if I already talked to another lawyer?
Texas allows you to switch counsel at any time. The first attorney is entitled to a quantum meruit fee for time actually spent, which is usually small if the case is early. We handle the transition paperwork.
How fast do you respond at night and on weekends?
Live answering 24/7. An attorney calls back for emergencies (preservation letter needed, ER admission, the at-fault carrier is pressuring you) within 30 minutes.
Can I bring a family member to the consultation?
Yes — and we often recommend it. A spouse or parent often catches details the injured person forgets in the first conversation.
