If you’ve suffered a personal injury and your claim requires filing a lawsuit, you deserve a legal team that will fight tirelessly to get you the justice and compensation you deserve. At Herrman and Herrman, we understand that litigation can be overwhelming, time-consuming, and complex—but with the right attorneys by your side, the process becomes manageable and effective.
Why Lawsuits Are Sometimes Necessary
While our first goal is always to resolve your case without the cost, stress, and time associated with litigation, some cases require filing a lawsuit to ensure you get the compensation you deserve. Common reasons for litigation include:
- Low-ball settlement offers from insurance companies or the adverse party.
- Disputes over liability, where the opposing side denies responsibility.
At Herrman and Herrman, we have experienced litigators on our team who know when and how to escalate your case effectively. Filing a lawsuit is a critical decision, and we guide you through every step to ensure your interests are protected.
Understanding the Litigation Process
Once a lawsuit is filed, the process can take anywhere from 12 months to several years. While this timeline may seem daunting, it’s often necessary to secure the maximum compensation for your claim. Here’s why lawsuits can take time:
- Court delays: Courts are often overwhelmed with criminal, family, and juvenile cases, leading to significant delays.
- Defense tactics: In some cases, defense attorneys may intentionally slow the process, billing hourly to maximize their compensation from the insurance company.
- Case complexity: Lawsuits involve multiple steps, including depositions, expert witness designations, discovery, and pre-trial motions.
At Herrman and Herrman, we know how to navigate these challenges. Our team stays proactive, pushing your case forward and ensuring deadlines are met so your claim isn’t unnecessarily delayed.

Not all law firms handle litigation with the same level of urgency and expertise. Here’s why you can trust Herrman and Herrman to deliver results:

CONTACT HERRMAN & HERRMAN IF YOU HAVE BEEN INJURED IN ANY OF THE FOLLOWING TYPES OF ACCIDENTS:
We can help you if you have been harmed by the following:
- Car accidents – Our lawyers have extensive experience handling car accident cases. We will work to identify the party or parties at fault for the crash and build a case to demonstrate persuasively how the parties caused the accident and your injuries. We will seek fair and full compensation through a negotiated settlement or at trial if necessary.
- Truck accidents – Thousands of large commercial trucks travel the roads of Texas every single day. Unfortunately, careless truck drivers and trucking companies disregarding safety put innocent people at risk of serious injuries. If you’ve been injured in a truck accident, let our experienced Texas personal injury lawyers stand up to the trucking companies and insurers on your behalf.
- Motorcycle accidents – Motorcycle riders often suffer grievous injuries in crashes caused by other motorists. Too many motorcycle accidents in Corpus Christi are caused by careless drivers who don’t look for motorcycle riders or violate their right of way. Our personal injury lawyers will work to cut through the bias and stigma against motorcycle riders. Our goal is to seek the financial compensation that you’ll need to recover from a serious motorcycle accident and injuries such as bone fractures, road rash, or traumatic brain injury.
- Product liability – Product manufacturers have a legal obligation to make products that are safe for their intended uses and to warn consumers of any risks that may come with the product. When products have design or manufacturing defects or undisclosed dangers, the product manufacturer may be legally responsible for injuries suffered by consumers. Our attorneys can help you evaluate whether you have a valid product liability claim.
- Brain injury – Brain injuries can leave accident victims with disabilities that leave them unable to work or perform many tasks of daily living. Seeking compensation for a brain injury in an accident often proves incredibly complex. The brain injury survivor may seek compensation for anticipated future medical care and the medical care already provided. Our personal injury lawyers can help you through the difficult recovery process following a brain injury and will fight to make sure you have the resources you need.
- Spinal injury – Spinal cord injuries could cost millions of dollars of care over the course of the victim’s lifetime, especially when those injuries result in partial or complete paralysis, such as paraplegia or quadriplegia. If you or your loved one has suffered a spinal cord injury, you deserve compassionate legal representation. Our attorney can help you determine whether you may be entitled to claim compensation for your injury and expenses related to living with the disability, such as making a home more accessible.
- Wrongful death – If you have lost a loved one due to the negligent or reckless actions of another party, your family deserves to seek accountability and compensation from those at fault for the wrongful death. Our caring and dedicated attorneys can help guide you and your family through this difficult and painful time and seek justice for your loved one.
