We fight to make sure you’re fully compensated for your losses and your injuries. This includes compensation for your medical bills in the past, the medical bills that you’re going to need in the future, for your pain and suffering, and any of your lost income.
We want to make sure that you get seen by the best doctors and by the best facilities that we can find to help you recover from your injuries. The insurance company is responsible at the end of the day for compensating victims for many different things. One of those things is for medical bills, and it’s just not in the past, but it’s also in the future. So we want to make sure that folks understand that they’re not actually going to have to pay anything out of pocket for this medical care and for the medical treatment that they need by getting them into these facilities.
We assist them with coordinating the services that they need to recover. Folks are also concerned about missed time from work. We make sure that the time that you miss from work or your ability not to work, now or in the future, is fully addressed and compensated for as well.

View video A question that some people have is, “How am I going to pay for an attorney or a law firm to represent me, especially one that has the experience and a record of successfully winning cases?”
The answer is you do not have to pay anything out of pocket upfront. We only collect attorney’s fees until we win your case, and it is a percentage of what we recover. The way that some areas of law work is that, in order to hire a lawyer, you actually have to pay what’s called a retainer upfront, or some type of hourly fee for the time that the lawyer puts in. But here, we don’t do that. You don’t pay anything out of your own pocket, and we don’t get paid until we win. And if we don’t win, you don’t owe us anything.
On top of that, one of the things that’s important to understand is that these cases do require a lot of expenses: Ordering investigation, hiring experts and bringing them on board, to sometimes deposition fees or court costs. What we do here as well is we advance all of those expenses on our client’s behalf so that they’re not out of pocket.

View video If you’ve been involved in an accident, there are two types of insurance that are involved. You have your own insurance, which we call first-party, and we have the other party’s insurance, which we call third-party. The claims that we make are against the negligent driver who’s at fault, and that is a third-party claim.
One of the questions that sometimes comes up is, “well, what type of insurance do they have?” Well, the state of Texas requires that everybody have a minimum of $30,000 per injury in liability coverage. If you have that type of coverage, you get into a collision, and you are at fault, your insurance company will cover $30,000 for the minimum coverage in Texas.
One of the additional coverages that some people carry that they pay for is what we call “personal injury protection,” and that’s a reimbursement for medical bills when you’ve been involved in a wreck up to a certain amount.
When you come into the George Salinas Injury Lawyers, we explain all of these coverages to you, and you decide what coverages you would like to pursue.

View video Always let your attorney know about preexisting conditions. Accident injuries may take longer to heal because of certain diseases and medications, including diabetes and chemotherapy treatments for cancer. Furthermore, the accident injuries may exacerbate a preexisting condition, making it take longer to heal or causing a long-term or permanent injury.
Sometimes, your attorney will begin settlement negotiations without filing a lawsuit. However, because of the statute of limitations, you might have to file a lawsuit before you start negotiations. In some cases, you might have to file a lawsuit in the middle of negotiations, even if it looks as though you might eventually come to an agreement with the insurance company regarding a settlement.
If injuries that stemmed from another party’s negligence causes the injured individual to die, that person’s family can bring a legal suit for damages. This is called a wrongful death suit. Like personal injury suits, wrongful death actions most often stem from negligence: another party owed a duty of care, but breached it. The surviving spouse of the deceased, their children, or their parents may bring a wrongful death claim, either individually or together. A deceased person’s children include legally adopted and adult children. If the family does not bring a claim within three months after the person dies, the deceased person’s executor or personal representative can file a wrongful death claim on the estate’s behalf. Possible compensation includes the following:
- The income the deceased would have earned if they had not died.
- Lost companionship, love, and comfort.
- Lost support, services, advice, counsel, and maintenance.
- Lost inheritance for beneficiaries due to an untimely death.
- Mental and emotional pain, anguish, and suffering.
