Personal Injury
Personal Injury Law
If you’ve been seriously injured in a car crash or other accident, you’re likely facing many problems at once. You may need ongoing medical care or rehabilitation. You’re probably managing pain and perhaps physical limitations. You may be taking medication that impacts your energy or clarity. At the same time, life keeps moving. You still have to find a way to pay the bills, though you may be unable to work. And you’re likely accumulating medical bills and other injury-related expenses.
You probably know you have options for pursuing compensation. But it may feel like you don’t have the time or mental bandwidth to sort that all out.
Fortunately, you don’t have to figure it out on your own. The attorneys at Quinones & Associates understand the stress you’re under. They also know how important it is to protect your personal injury claim and to give you the best opportunity to secure fair compensation.
What is Personal Injury?
In general terms, “personal injury” describes the type of Texas legal claim you may have if you’re injured through the fault of someone else. Some common examples are:
- Being injured in a car accident caused by a drunk driver
- Being hit by a car that ran a red light
- Being rear-ended by a driver who was texting instead of watching the road
- Slipping and falling in a store because the business failed to clean up or warn of a spill
In simple terms, you may have a personal injury claim if:
- Someone has a responsibility to you (or generally to the public or a group you fall into)
- That person doesn’t live up to that responsibility
- His or her failure to live up to that responsibility causes an accident
- You have damages as a result

That’s one reason the attorneys at Quinones & Associates offer free consultations to Houston injury victims.
