Why Patterson Law Group

Big enough to get it done.
Small enough to care.

We care more about your life than your lawsuit. That sounds backwards for a law firm — but it's why our clients trust us with the most painful season of their lives, and why we say no to more cases than we take on.

We keep our roster intentionally small. If we can't add real value to your case, we'll tell you. We might not always say what you want to hear — but we'll always tell you what you need to hear.

Built on Referrals, Not Mass Marketing

Most of our clients come from past clients and the lawyers we've earned the trust of.

The Adversary

The Deck Is Stacked Against You.

After a serious accident, it can feel like everyone is working against you. Three forces in particular tend to make a bad day worse.

1

Insurance Companies

Their adjusters are trained to deny, delay, and underpay. They count on you not knowing what your case is actually worth — and on the panic of mounting medical bills to make you settle for less.

2

The Marketing Bombardment

Within hours of a wreck you'll see lawyers screaming at you from TV ads, billboards, radio spots, and Instagram reels. It's hard to know who actually has your best interests at heart — and easy to end up with a high-volume firm that treats you like another file on a shelf.

3

A Complicated System

Texas comparative fault, statutes of limitations as short as 180 days for some defendants, medical liens, paid-or-incurred rules — one misstep can sink your case before it starts.

Our 3-Step Plan

How We Guide You to Closure

A clear path back to wholeness — physically, emotionally, and financially.

01

Schedule a Free Consultation

Reach out 24/7 — by phone, text, or the form on this page. We'll listen to your story, answer your questions honestly, and tell you whether we can add real value to your case.

02

We Build Your Playbook

If it's a fit, our team investigates the wreck, gathers evidence, coordinates your medical care, and builds the strongest possible case. We only take cases where we know we can help.

03

We Lead You to Closure

We negotiate hard, litigate when needed, and take cases to trial when an insurer won't pay what your story deserves. You focus on healing — we deliver the resolution.

What's at Stake

The wrong firm costs you far more than money.

The wrong settlement leaves you with unpaid bills, untreated injuries, and unanswered questions for years to come. You don't get a do-over on your story.

At Patterson Law Group, we won't take your case unless we know we can add real value. We might not always tell you what you want to hear — but we will always tell you what you need to hear.

Start the Right Way →
Being treated like a file number on a shelf
A fast settlement that leaves you short for the rest of your life
Missing critical medical care because no one is coordinating it
Insurance adjusters that delay until you give up
Mediocre lawyers leaving real money on the table
Never getting the closure your story deserves

Got Questions?

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers — call us for personalized advice on your case.

What should I do after a serious injury in Texas? +
Seek medical care first — call 911 if anyone may be seriously hurt. Report the accident to police (for car accidents) or the property owner. Gather evidence: photos, witness contact info, driver/insurance details. Keep a diary of treatment, costs, and how the injury impacts your life. Then contact Patterson Law Group for a free consultation — we handle everything from there.
How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit in Texas? +
Generally two years from the date of injury (Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code §16.003). For wrongful death, two years from the date of death. There are exceptions — minor victims, delayed discovery, and claims against government entities have different deadlines (some as short as 180 days). Never wait to call a lawyer.
How much does it cost to hire Patterson Law Group? +
Nothing upfront. We work on a contingency fee basis — you pay nothing unless we win your case. Our fee comes from the settlement or verdict. You can start with a 100% free, no-obligation consultation. If we don't win, you owe us zero.
How much is my personal injury case worth? +
Case value depends on the severity of your injuries, your medical bills (past and future), lost wages and earning capacity, pain and suffering, and the at-fault party's insurance coverage. Texas does not cap most personal injury damages, but medical malpractice cases have a $250,000 noneconomic damage cap (CPRC §74.301). Every case is different — call us for an honest, free evaluation.
Do I have to go to court for a personal injury case? +
Most personal injury claims settle out of court. But insurance companies pay more when they believe your lawyer will go to trial. At Patterson Law Group, we prepare every case as if it's headed to a jury — that's how we secure the best settlements. We've been to trial many times and we'll never settle for less than your case is worth.
What if I was partially at fault for the accident? +
Texas follows modified comparative fault (CPRC §33.001). You can recover damages as long as you are 50% or less at fault, but your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault. Insurance companies often try to inflate your fault to pay less. We push back hard on improper fault assignments.
How long does a personal injury case take in Texas? +
Simple cases can settle in a few months. Complex cases — catastrophic injuries, trucking, wrongful death — may take a year or more, especially if they go to trial. We push every case as fast as the evidence allows, but we will never rush a settlement that shortchanges your future.
What if the at-fault driver doesn't have insurance? +
You may still recover through your own uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage. Texas law requires every auto insurer to offer this coverage. We're experienced at filing UM/UIM claims and pushing your own insurer when they refuse to pay fair value on your own policy.
Should I talk to the insurance company after an accident? +
Talk to your own insurer to report the accident, but do not give a recorded statement to the at-fault party's insurance company without a lawyer present. Adjusters are trained to ask questions that lock you into harmful answers. Call us first — we handle every conversation with insurance for you.
What types of cases does Patterson Law Group handle? +
We exclusively handle personal injury and wrongful death cases: car accidents, truck accidents, motorcycle wrecks, pedestrian and bicycle accidents, catastrophic injuries, traumatic brain injuries, slip and fall, premises liability, daycare injuries, railroad accidents, boat accidents, and wrongful death. If your injury was someone else's fault, we want to hear about it.
Did Patterson Law Group really secure the highest wrongful death settlement in Texas in 2024? +
Yes. In 2024 our firm secured the highest wrongful death settlement in the state of Texas — an 8-figure recovery for a grieving family. We bring that same level of preparation, expertise, and trial-readiness to every case we take, no matter the size.
What areas does Patterson Law Group serve? +
We have three offices — Fort Worth, Arlington, and San Antonio — and represent clients throughout the DFW Metroplex (Dallas, Tarrant, Collin counties), the San Antonio area (Bexar County), and across the entire state of Texas. We come to you if you can't travel.
