Free consultation. No obligation. No fee unless we win.

Bradlyn J. Cole handles personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis. That means you pay nothing upfront — no retainer, no hourly billing, no out-of-pocket cost to get started. Legal fees are only collected as a percentage of the compensation we recover for you. If we don't win your case, you owe nothing in attorney's fees. This lets anyone access serious legal representation, regardless of their financial situation.

In most Texas personal injury cases — including car accidents, truck accidents, and slip & fall claims — you generally have two years from the date of the injury to file a lawsuit under the Texas statute of limitations. Missing this deadline can permanently bar you from recovering compensation, even if your case is strong. Some cases have different or shorter deadlines, so it's important to speak with an attorney as soon as possible after an accident.

No. You should not give a recorded statement or accept any settlement offer from an insurance company — including your own — without speaking to an attorney first. Insurance adjusters are trained to minimize payouts, and anything you say can be used to reduce or deny your claim. Let Bradlyn handle all communication with insurers so your rights and your recovery are protected from day one.

You may still be entitled to compensation. Texas follows a modified comparative fault rule, which allows you to recover damages as long as you are found to be less than 51% responsible for the accident. Your compensation is simply reduced by your percentage of fault. Insurance companies often try to shift blame onto injury victims to reduce payouts, which is exactly why having an attorney evaluate the facts is so important.

Every case is different. Some claims settle in a few months, while more complex cases — especially those involving catastrophic injuries, disputed liability, or litigation that goes to trial — can take a year or longer. Factors that affect timing include how long it takes you to reach maximum medical improvement, the complexity of liability, the insurance company's willingness to negotiate fairly, and court scheduling if a lawsuit is filed. Bradlyn will give you an honest assessment of timing after reviewing your case.

Not necessarily. While our office is located in Mansfield at 600 Strada Circle, Ste. 100, we're able to handle most consultations and case updates remotely — by phone, text, video call, or email. This makes it easy to work with us whether you're in Mansfield, Midlothian, Grand Prairie, or anywhere else in the DFW area, especially while you're recovering from an injury.
