When an accident caused by another’s negligence upends your life, Texas law offers legal recourse to hold the responsible parties accountable. Those at fault, and their insurers, should cover your medical bills, lost wages, and other damages. But the process can be complex and lengthy, especially while you are dealing with pain and recovery. Having an experienced Longview personal injury attorney by your side brings clarity, support, and puts you in a stronger position to pursue the full compensation you deserve.

Types of Personal Injury Cases We Handle
We represent clients whose lives have been permanently altered by the negligent or reckless conduct of others. Our practice is built to handle cases across a range of serious personal injury matters:
Truck accidents
Longview sits at the crossroads of major East Texas freight corridors. We handle cases involving 18-wheelers, oilfield service vehicles, and commercial haulers with a command of both state and federal trucking regulations.
Wrongful Death
When negligence results in a fatality, we help surviving family members pursue justice, accountability, and compensation for the irreplaceable loss.
Dram Shop Liability & Drunk Driving Accidents
When bars or establishments overserve their patrons, the consequences can be catastrophic. We pursue drunk drivers and the businesses that unlawfully served them.
Brain Injuries & Catastrophic Harm
Clients with traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, amputations, or burns deserve representation that understands the long-term medical, emotional, and financial toll of these outcomes.
Nonsubscriber workplace injuries
Texas allows employers to opt out of the state workers’ compensation system. We handle nonsubscriber cases aggressively, proving employer negligence and unsafe conditions that led to the injury.
Nursing home abuse
We represent elders and families facing abuse, neglect, or wrongful death in long-term care facilities across East Texas.
Liability Issues in Personal Injury Lawsuits
If you have been hurt due to someone else’s actions, understanding who is legally responsible is the first step toward justice. Texas law is complex; liability can arise from simple negligence, where a person or company fails to exercise reasonable care, or more serious behavior like recklessness or intentional harm.
In many cases, fault may be shared, so Texas uses a comparative negligence rule: even if you bear some responsibility, you can still recover compensation. The rule excludes recovery if you are found to be more than 50% at fault. However, it’s important not to count yourself out until you have reviewed your case with an attorney.
Our lawyers analyze every aspect of liability to build compelling cases that withstand defense challenges and maximize your recovery.
What to Expect When Pursuing a Personal Injury Claim
At Winocour Law, we begin by carefully reviewing every detail of your case, collecting crucial evidence such as medical records, accident reports, witness statements, and expert opinions to build a compelling claim.
Insurance carriers often undervalue claims in an effort to minimize their exposure and expedite settlements. Our attorneys respond with a disciplined, evidence-based approach designed to challenge these tactics effectively.
While many cases are resolved through negotiation, we prepare diligently for litigation when it is in your best interest. A dedicated Longview personal injury lawyer will manage every stage of the process, from drafting pleadings and overseeing discovery to forcefully advocating for you in court, ensuring your rights and priorities remain paramount.

FAQs for Longview Personal Injury Attorneys:
How long does it typically take to resolve a personal injury case?
Some cases may be resolved in a few months. Others, especially those involving litigation, may take 12–24 months or longer. We will be honest about the expected timeline from the start.
Can I handle a personal injury claim without a lawyer?
While it is possible, studies show that represented injury victims typically receive 3 to 5 times more compensation than those without counsel (Insurance Research Council). Insurance companies bank on you not knowing your rights.
How do contingency fees work in personal injury cases?
We work on a contingency fee basis. That means you pay nothing up front and no attorney’s fees unless we recover compensation for you.
What if I am partially at fault for the accident?
As long as you are not more than 50% at fault, you can still recover compensation under Texas law. We will work to reduce or refute your percentage of liability.
