Did They Contact You First?

After an accident, be cautious if someone you did not contact suddenly reaches out about your injury or legal claim.

Unexpected Calls or Texts

Someone contacts you about your accident even though you never asked them for help.

A Lawyer or “Runner”

A person recommends a specific lawyer or law firm immediately after your accident.

Pressure to Sign

You are pressured to hire a lawyer, sign paperwork, or make a quick decision.

Promises of Money

Someone promises money, benefits, or a guaranteed result if you hire a particular lawyer.

These are potential warning signs of illegal lawyer solicitation. Every situation is different, and whether conduct violates Texas law depends on the specific facts.
