Why quick action matters in Texas
Texas generally allows two years from the date of injury to file a personal injury lawsuit, but much shorter deadlines can apply to claims involving a government entity — formal notice is generally required within six months, and some city charters shorten that to 30–90 days. Evidence also fades quickly. This is general information, not legal advice; a participating law firm can explain the deadlines that apply to you.

Common questions
Is this a law firm?

Requesting a case review through this website is free. A participating law firm will explain any fees during your consultation.
How long do I have to file a claim in Texas?
Texas generally allows two years from the date of injury to file a personal injury lawsuit, but much shorter deadlines can apply to claims involving a government entity — formal notice is generally required within six months, and some city charters require it in as little as 30 to 90 days. This is general information, not legal advice. A participating law firm can explain the deadlines that apply to you.
The attacker was arrested — can I still sue the property?
The criminal case and a civil claim are separate. A negligent security claim asks whether the property took reasonable steps to protect guests from foreseeable harm. A participating law firm can review whether the property may share responsibility.
How much is a negligent security case worth in McAllen?
There's no set amount — it depends on your injuries, medical treatment, lost income, and how it happened. A participating Texas law firm can review your McAllen situation and explain what a claim or settlement might involve. This is general information, not legal advice, and no outcome is guaranteed.
Should I accept the insurance company's first offer in McAllen?
Be careful — first offers often come before the full extent of injuries and losses is known, and accepting generally ends the claim. A participating Texas law firm can review whether an offer reflects your McAllen situation. This is general information, not legal advice.
How long does a negligent security case take in McAllen?
It varies widely — some matters resolve in months, while disputed cases can take a year or more. Acting early, preserving evidence, and getting treatment documented all help.
