Harris County Personal Injury Lawyer Fighting for Injured Texans Since 1976
If you were hurt in an accident anywhere in Harris County, you have the right to pursue full compensation — and you deserve a law firm that has been doing this work in Texas for nearly 50 years.
What Happens After an Accident in Harris County
Knowing your rights and your next steps is the most important thing you can do in the hours and days after an injury. Harris County accident cases move through specific legal and procedural channels — from the scene of the crash to the Harris County courts — and having a team that knows this landscape makes a real difference in how your case is handled and what you ultimately recover.
Personal Injury Cases We Handle Across Harris County
Car Accidents
Car accidents are the most common personal injury case we handle in Harris County. Whether it happened on I-10, the 610 Loop, Highway 290, or a neighborhood street in Pasadena or Friendswood, we build cases around the evidence — police reports, traffic camera footage, witness accounts, and expert analysis — to establish fault and pursue every dollar you are owed.
18-Wheeler and Truck Accidents
Commercial truck crashes in Harris County often involve multiple liable parties — the driver, the trucking company, cargo loaders, and maintenance contractors. These cases require a different investigative approach than a standard car accident claim, and our team has the experience to pursue them fully. We handle 18-wheeler accidents and commercial vehicle collisions throughout the county and across Greater Houston.
Pedestrian and Bicycle Accidents
Pedestrians and cyclists struck by vehicles in Harris County face serious, often life-altering injuries. Texas law gives injured pedestrians and cyclists the right to pursue compensation from at-fault drivers, and we fight to make sure that right is exercised fully. From downtown Houston to suburban crosswalks throughout the county, we represent victims who were doing nothing wrong and paid a devastating price.
Premises Liability and Slip and Fall
Property owners in Harris County have a legal duty to keep their premises reasonably safe. When they fail — whether it's a wet floor in a retail store, a broken staircase in an apartment complex, or an unlit parking lot — and someone gets hurt, they can be held accountable. We handle slip and fall claims and other premises liability cases throughout Harris County.
Wrongful Death
Losing a family member because of someone else's negligence is among the most painful experiences a family can face. Texas wrongful death law allows surviving family members to pursue compensation for that loss, and we handle these cases with the seriousness and care they demand. If your family has lost someone in an accident anywhere in Harris County, we are here to help you understand your options.

Frequently Asked Questions About Harris County Personal Injury Cases
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Harris County?
In Texas, the statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is two years from the date of the injury. Missing that deadline generally means losing your right to recover compensation, so it is important to speak with a Harris County accident attorney as soon as possible after an injury occurs.Do I have to pay anything upfront to hire Littleton Law Firm?
No. We handle personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis, which means you pay nothing unless we win your case. There are no upfront costs and no hourly fees — our fee comes as a percentage of the recovery we secure for you.What if the other driver was uninsured or underinsured?
This is a common situation in Harris County. Depending on your own insurance coverage, you may be able to file an uninsured or underinsured motorist claim. We review every available avenue for recovery and will walk you through your options during your case review.Can I still recover compensation if I was partly at fault for the accident?
Possibly, yes. Texas follows a modified comparative fault rule, meaning you can still recover damages as long as you were not more than 50 percent responsible for the accident. Your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault, but it is not eliminated. We can assess how this applies to your specific situation.What types of compensation can I recover after an accident in Harris County?
Depending on the facts of your case, you may be able to recover medical expenses, lost wages, future medical costs, loss of earning capacity, pain and suffering, and other damages.
