Pursuing Fair Compensation for Serious Injuries
We start preparing your personal injury case from day one. With our in-house investigators, we visit the scene of your accident to gather evidence and talk to witnesses. We work to have the clearest possible understanding of your accident on hand when we meet with the insurance companies or present evidence in court.
Then, we talk to your doctors and medical experts to get a solid understanding of your injuries and their permanency.
We find answers to questions, such as:
- What are the rehabilitation or physical therapy costs?
- Will you be able to work the same job? If not, what jobs can you work?
- Will you need to alter your home, car, or other property?
- What other costs have you faced because of the accident?
In court, we present pictures, such as your MRI, so that the jury can better understand your injury and its effects. We want the jury to appreciate your entire experience.
Understanding Your Rights After an Accident
After an accident, it can be overwhelming to navigate the legal landscape. Many individuals are unaware of their rights and the options available to them. At Cole, Cole, Easley, & Sciba, P.C., we believe that knowledge is power. That's why we are committed to educating our clients about their legal rights and the steps they can take to protect themselves.
Here are some key rights you should be aware of:
- The Right to Seek Medical Attention: Always prioritize your health. You have the right to seek medical care immediately after an accident, even if injuries are not apparent.
- The Right to Compensation: If someone else's negligence caused your injuries, you have the right to pursue compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
- The Right to Legal Representation: You have the right to hire an attorney who will advocate for your best interests and help you navigate the complexities of your case.
- The Right to a Fair Settlement: You should never feel pressured to accept a settlement offer that does not fully cover your damages. Our team will negotiate on your behalf to ensure you receive what you deserve.
- The Right to Privacy: Your personal information and case details should be handled with the utmost confidentiality.
Understanding these rights can empower you to make informed decisions during a challenging time. Our experienced attorneys are here to guide you through every step of the process, ensuring you feel supported and informed as you pursue justice.
Types of Accidents We Handle
At Cole, Cole, Easley & Sciba, P.C., we handle a wide range of accident cases. Every accident is unique, but many result in severe injuries, lost wages, and emotional distress. Our team is here to fight for your rights and help you get the compensation you deserve.
Here are some common types of accidents we handle:
- Car Accidents – These can be caused by distracted driving, speeding, drunk driving, or reckless behavior. Whether you were in a rear-end collision or a T-bone crash, we can help.

- Workplace Accidents – Injuries at work, especially in construction and oilfields, can be severe. We help workers injured in falls, explosions, and machinery accidents.
Insurance Company Tactics & How We Fight Them
Insurance companies often try to reduce payouts to accident victims. Their goal is to save money—not to help you recover.
Here are common tactics they use:
- Delaying payments – They may drag out the claims process, hoping you’ll accept a lower offer out of frustration.
- Undervaluing injuries – Insurers might argue that your injuries are not as serious as claimed.
- Blaming the victim – Some companies try to shift fault to you to avoid paying full compensation.
- Pressuring quick settlements – They may offer a fast, low settlement before you understand the full extent of your injuries.
How We Fight Back: We gather strong evidence, consult medical experts, and negotiate aggressively to ensure you receive the compensation you deserve.
Long-Term Impact of Serious Injuries
Accidents don’t just cause immediate injuries—they can affect your entire future.
- Chronic pain & medical treatment – Some injuries require years of rehab, physical therapy, or surgeries.
- Emotional distress & PTSD – Anxiety, depression, and PTSD are common after traumatic accidents.
- Loss of earning capacity – If your injuries prevent you from returning to work, your financial stability is at risk.
Our attorneys fight for compensation that covers both immediate and long-term damages, ensuring your future is secure.
Able to Handle Even the Most Complex Injury Cases
We have handled cases involving a wide range of serious injuries, including:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Closed head injuries
- Burn injuries

Wrongful Death
If your loved one was killed in an accident, you probably have many questions. At our law firm, we find explanations. We understand that even a large settlement or verdict isn’t enough after someone killed your family member or loved one. Yet, the negligent driver, company, or employer should be held responsible for their actions. We help individuals and families bring wrongful death cases to recover financial compensation for the financial and emotional losses experienced after their loved one’s death.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How do I know if I have a valid personal injury case?
- If you were injured due to someone else’s negligence—whether in a car crash, workplace accident, or another incident—you may have a valid claim. A free consultation with our attorneys can help determine your legal options.
What should I do immediately after an accident?
- Seek medical attention, even if you feel fine.
- Report the accident to the police or your employer (if it happened at work).
- Take photos of the scene, your injuries, and any property damage.
- Gather contact information from witnesses.
- Avoid discussing fault with insurance companies before speaking to a lawyer.
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim?
- In Texas, the statute of limitations for most personal injury cases is two years from the date of the accident. However, exceptions may apply, so it’s best to contact an attorney as soon as possible.
Will my case go to court?
- Most personal injury cases are settled outside of court. However, if the insurance company refuses to offer fair compensation, we are fully prepared to take your case to trial.
How much is my case worth?
The value of your case depends on factors such as:
- The severity of your injuries
- Medical expenses (past and future)
- Lost wages and impact on your ability to work
- Pain and suffering
- The extent of the other party’s negligence
What if I was partially at fault for the accident?

How much does it cost to hire an attorney?
- We work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing upfront. We only get paid if we win your case.
