Guidance When an Injury Turns Your Life Upside Down
One moment you are driving home on US-75 or shopping at a store off Preston Road. The next, you are dealing with ER bills, missed paychecks, and an adjuster who wants a recorded statement before you have even seen a specialist. Texas crashes injure hundreds of thousands of people every year, and many of those claims are undervalued because the injured person negotiated alone.
A Plano personal injury attorney from Lozano & Khan takes that weight off you. We secure police reports, medical records, imaging, and video footage, then work with physicians, accident reconstructionists, and economists to show the full cost of your injury. We handle every call with the insurance companies and identify every party who may share liability, so you and your family can focus on getting better.
Why Plano Families Choose Lozano & Khan
Injured people in Plano have dozens of firms to choose from. Here is what working with us looks like in practice.
Board-Certified Trial Experience
Most personal injury claims settle, but the size of a settlement depends on whether the insurer believes you will go to trial and win. John Lozano's courtroom record gives your claim that leverage in negotiation and the readiness to follow through in court if a fair offer never comes.
You Work Directly With Your Attorney
You will not be passed between case managers. Your attorney returns your calls, explains each decision in plain language, and keeps you updated at every stage of the claim. [Confirm: Spanish-language service available.
Medical Proof Insurers Can't Ignore
Adjusters routinely argue that an injury is minor, pre-existing, or unrelated to the accident. We answer with evidence: diagnostic imaging, treating-physician opinions, and life care plans that put a clear dollar figure on future treatment and lost earning capacity.
No Fee Unless We Recover
We handle personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis. You pay nothing upfront and owe no attorney's fee unless we win a settlement or verdict for you. Our contingency fee is 33% of the recovery.
Texas Injury Laws That Affect Your Plano Claim
Three rules shape almost every personal injury case in Texas. Knowing them early protects your right to recover.
The Two-Year Deadline
Under the Texas statute of limitations, you generally have two years from the date of injury to file a personal injury lawsuit, and two years from the date of death for a wrongful death claim. Miss it and the court will likely dismiss your case. Evidence such as surveillance video can disappear within days, so earlier is always better.
Modified Comparative Fault (51% Rule)
Claims Against Government Entities
If a City of Plano vehicle, a DART bus, or a dangerous public road caused your injury, the Texas Tort Claims Act applies. You must usually give formal notice within six months, and some city charters require it even sooner. Call us right away if a government employee or property was involved.
Personal Injury Cases We Handle in Plano
Our accident lawyers in Plano focus on the injuries that disrupt lives the most. Each case type below links to its own detailed page.
Plano Car Accident Lawyer
Rear-end collisions on the Dallas North Tollway and T-bone crashes at Plano Parkway intersections can leave you with whiplash, herniated discs, or fractures. Our Plano car accident attorneys gather crash reports, traffic-camera footage, and phone records to prove fault. Then we pursue every available policy, including your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage.
Plano Motorcycle Accident Lawyer
Riders are often hit by drivers who never looked, then blamed for the crash. As your Plano motorcycle accident lawyer, we counter insurer bias about speed and lane splitting with scene evidence and crash reconstruction. Our motorcycle accident attorneys pursue compensation for road rash, fractures, spinal injuries, and your damaged bike.
Plano Truck Accident Lawyer
An 18-wheeler crash on US-75 or the President George Bush Turnpike often causes catastrophic injuries, and trucking companies send response teams within hours. As 18-wheeler accident lawyers in Plano, TX, we move just as fast. We preserve ELD data, black-box recordings, and maintenance logs, and check for FMCSA hours-of-service violations.
Plano Slip and Fall Lawyer
Wet floors without warnings, broken stairs, and poorly lit parking lots cause serious falls at Plano stores and apartment complexes. As your slip and fall injury lawyer in Plano, TX, we secure surveillance video before it’s erased and prove the owner knew about the hazard. We also act as Plano dog bite injury attorneys.
Plano Drunk Driving Accident Lawyer
A crash caused by an intoxicated driver can support claims beyond the driver’s own policy. Under the Texas dram shop law, a bar or restaurant that overserved the driver may share liability. Gross negligence can also justify exemplary damages. Our Plano drunk driving accident lawyers obtain toxicology results and track the DWI case.
Plano Workplace Accident Lawyer
Texas lets most private employers opt out of workers’ compensation. If your Plano employer is a non-subscriber, you can sue it directly for negligence. If it carries coverage, a negligent subcontractor, equipment maker, or driver may still be liable. Our Plano workplace accident lawyers identify the strongest route for your injury.
Plano Brain Injury Lawyer
Concussions and other traumatic brain injuries from Plano car crashes and falls are often missed on a first ER scan. Memory loss, headaches, and mood changes may surface weeks later. Our Plano brain injury lawyers work with neurologists and use MRI, DTI imaging, and cognitive testing to prove the injury’s lifelong cost.
Plano Wrongful Death Lawyer
When negligence takes a loved one, the Texas Wrongful Death Act lets the surviving spouse, children, and parents recover lost financial support, companionship, and mental anguish. The estate can also bring a survival action. As your wrongful death lawyer in Plano, we handle the investigation and claim so your family can grieve.

Plano Personal Injury Lawyer FAQs

Your case value depends on your medical costs, lost income, the severity and permanence of your injuries, your share of fault, and the insurance coverage available. A minor soft-tissue claim and a brain injury from an 18-wheeler crash can differ by millions of dollars. An injury attorney in Plano, TX can estimate a realistic range once your treatment needs are clear.
Many claims settle within several months to a year, while cases that go to suit in Collin County district court can take one to two years or more. Timing depends on how long medical treatment lasts, how clear fault is, and whether the insurer negotiates in good faith. Settling before you reach maximum medical improvement can leave money on the table.

Yes, as long as you are 50% or less at fault, Texas law lets you recover damages reduced by your percentage of responsibility. For example, a $100,000 award with 20% fault assigned to you becomes $80,000. At 51% or more, you recover nothing, which is why disputing blame matters.
Call 911, get medical care even if you feel fine, and document the scene with photos and witness contact details. Request the crash report from the Plano Police Department or TxDOT's Crash Report Online Purchase System. Then contact our Plano TX accident lawyers before speaking with any insurer, especially after a commercial truck crash, where evidence can vanish quickly.
