Common questions from Wichita Falls clients

Does Patterson Law Group have an office in Wichita Falls?

We do not have a brick-and-mortar office in Wichita Falls. We serve Wichita County and the Texoma region from our Fort Worth and San Antonio offices. The initial consultation is by phone or Zoom — at no cost — and our attorneys travel to Wichita Falls for depositions, mediations, court hearings, and trial.

Do you handle cases for Sheppard AFB families?

Yes. We handle personal injury and wrongful death cases for active-duty airmen, dependents, retirees, and civilian DoD employees connected to Sheppard Air Force Base. We are familiar with the Feres Doctrine, the Federal Tort Claims Act, and the practical realities of military life.

How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Texas?

Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code §16.003 sets a two-year statute of limitations for most personal injury and wrongful death cases. FTCA cases have a two-year administrative-claim deadline.

How much does a Wichita Falls personal injury lawyer cost?

Nothing up front. We work on a contingency fee — our fee comes out of the settlement or verdict, not your pocket.

What is my Wichita Falls case worth?

It depends on the severity of injuries, the medical bills, lost income, and the available insurance coverage. Commercial trucking cases on US-287 (a major DFW-to-Panhandle truck corridor) often carry larger liability policies.

Where will my case be heard if it goes to court?

Civil personal injury cases in Wichita County are heard at the Wichita County Courthouse, 900 7th Street, Wichita Falls. The 30th, 78th, 89th, and 30th District Courts handle the civil docket.

What if I was hurt at an oilfield, ranch, or agricultural worksite?

Many Texoma oilfield and agricultural employers are Texas worker's comp non-subscribers — they lose nearly all common-law defenses and direct exposure is dramatically higher.
