Why injured clients choose Uzoma Sudarma
Straight answers, real preparation, and a team that treats your case like it matters, because it does.
No fee unless we win
We take injury cases on contingency and advance the costs of investigation, experts, and filing. You owe no attorney fee unless we recover for you.
We protect your deadline
Texas gives most injury victims two years to file. We move early to preserve evidence and protect your claim long before the statute of limitations runs.
We deal with the insurers
Adjusters call fast and offer low. We handle every conversation, recorded statement, and lowball offer so you are never pressured into settling short.
Local to Fort Bend County
We live and practice where you do, from Sugar Land to Richmond to Pearland, and we know the courts, roads, and hazards that show up in these cases.
We build for full value
Beyond medical bills, we account for lost wages, future care, and pain and suffering, so the demand reflects what the injury actually cost you.
You talk to your attorney
You are not a file number passed down a hallway. The attorney handling your case stays reachable and explains every step in plain language.
What to do after an accident in Texas
Get medical attention first, even if you feel okay. Adrenaline hides injuries, and a gap in treatment is the first thing an insurer uses to argue you were not really hurt. A prompt record from an ER, urgent care, or your doctor ties your injury to the incident.
Then document what you can: photos of the scene and vehicles, names and numbers of witnesses, and the police or incident report. If you crashed in Fort Bend County, the responding agency's crash report (Texas Form CR-3) becomes a key piece of your file.
Be careful what you sign or say. You are not required to give a recorded statement to the other side's insurer, and you should not accept a fast settlement before you know the full extent of your injuries. Call a lawyer before you sign anything.
How Texas injury claims work
Texas runs on fault. To recover, you generally show that another party's negligence caused your injury. Under the state's modified comparative fault rule, your recovery is reduced by your share of the blame, and if you are found more than 50 percent at fault, you are barred from recovering at all. That 51 percent bar is exactly why insurers try to pin fault on you.
Most personal injury claims in Texas must be filed within two years of the injury under the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code, though some situations, such as claims involving a government entity or certain minors, carry different rules and shorter notice deadlines. Missing the window usually ends the case no matter how strong it is.
Many claims settle without a lawsuit, but settling well takes leverage. We prepare every case as if it is going to trial, which is what moves an insurer off a low offer and toward a number that reflects your losses.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a personal injury lawyer cost?
We work on a contingency fee, so there is no upfront cost and no hourly bill. Our fee is a percentage of what we recover, and if we do not recover money for you, you owe no attorney fee. We discuss the exact percentage and how case costs are handled before you sign anything.
How long do I have to file an injury claim in Texas?
Most personal injury claims in Texas must be filed within two years of the date of the injury. Some situations, like claims against a city, county, or other government entity, require much earlier written notice and can have shorter deadlines. Because the rules vary, it is best to talk to an attorney as soon as possible so you do not lose your right to file.
What if I was partly at fault for the accident?
You may still recover under Texas's modified comparative fault rule. Your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault, but as long as you are not found more than 50 percent responsible, you can still recover. This is one of the main reasons insurers try to shift blame, and one of the main reasons to have a lawyer protecting your side of the story.
Should I accept the insurance company's first offer?
Usually not without legal advice. Early offers often come before you know the full extent of your injuries or future medical needs, and once you sign a release you typically cannot reopen the claim. Let us review any offer first so you understand what you may be giving up.
Do I have to go to court for my injury case?
Often no. Many Texas injury claims settle through negotiation without a trial. We prepare every case as if it could go to court, because that readiness is what pushes insurers toward a fair settlement. If a fair number is not on the table, we are prepared to file suit and try the case.
What kinds of injury cases does your firm handle?
We handle a wide range, including car, truck, motorcycle, pedestrian, bicycle, rideshare, and bus accidents, drunk-driving crashes, slip-and-falls, dog bites, workplace and oilfield injuries, product liability, medical malpractice, nursing-home abuse, catastrophic and brain and spinal injuries, and wrongful death. See the case types below, and if yours is not listed, call us to ask.
