When an unexpected injury disrupts your life, everything changes in seconds. A morning drive along Interstate 45, an afternoon shift at an industrial work site, or a routine shopping trip in downtown Conroe can turn into weeks of hospital stays, missed paychecks, and intense stress. Insurance adjusters call you right away, acting concerned, but their goal is to close your file for as little money as possible.
At Grimes & Fertitta, P.C., we believe you deserve someone in your corner who knows how the other side thinks. Our partners, Richard M. Grimes and Julian Fertitta III, spent years early in their careers working inside major insurance defense firms. We learned the exact playbooks, software formulas, and settlement strategies insurance companies use to reduce or deny legitimate claims. Today, we put that direct insider knowledge to work for injured individuals and grieving families across Conroe and Montgomery County.
You do not have to battle large insurance carriers, corporate legal teams, or complicated court systems alone. Call (713) 224-7644 today for a free, confidential consultation. You owe us nothing unless we win compensation for your claim.
We know how insurance claims adjusters evaluate risk, set loss reserves, and try to shift blame under Texas law. This allows us to prepare every case from day one to beat their standard tactics.
You will not be passed down to paralegals or junior clerks. You work directly with experienced trial attorneys who know your name, listen to your story, and guide your strategy.
Conroe is the county seat of Montgomery County. We know the local roadways, the jurisdictional rules of the 9th, 221st, 284th, 359th, 410th, 418th, and 435th District Courts, and the medical providers treating our clients.
We handle personal injury and wrongful death cases on a contingency fee basis. There are zero upfront retainers and zero out-of-pocket costs to start your case. If we do not secure a settlement or verdict, you owe no legal fees.
Understanding Texas legal statutes helps you protect your claim from day one:
| Legal Statute / Rule | Impact on Your Conroe Injury Claim |
|---|---|
| 2-Year Statute of Limitations Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 16.003 | You have exactly two years from the accident date to file a lawsuit, or lose your rights. |
| Proportionate Responsibility Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 33.001 | You can recover damages if you are 50% or less at fault; recovery is reduced by your fault share. |
| Medical Billing Evidence Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 41.0105 | Payouts are based on amounts actually paid or incurred, not the higher initial sticker prices. |
| Uninsured / Underinsured Motorist Coverage Texas Transportation Code | Mandatory auto coverage in Texas is only $30k/$60k/$25k; UM/UIM helps cover catastrophic costs. |
Insurance companies love to argue that the victim was partly to blame. Under Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code § 33.001, Texas uses a modified comparative fault system with a 51% bar rule:
We collect physical evidence, camera footage, and accident reconstruction data early to stop insurers from unfairly shifting fault to you.
Under Texas civil law, accident victims can pursue compensation for economic and non-economic damages:
Even if adrenaline hides your pain, go to a medical facility like HCA Houston Healthcare Conroe or St. Luke’s Health - The Woodlands Hospital. Prompt diagnosis connects your injuries directly to the incident.
Get full names, phone numbers, and home addresses of anyone who saw the crash or incident.
Insurance adjusters will call soon after the crash. Politely decline to give a recorded interview until you have consulted an attorney.

Insurance defense attorneys know how insurance claim software programs (like Colossus) grade injury claims. Because we spent years defending insurers, we know what flags cause them to settle for top dollar and what mistakes they look for to discount claims.
Although Texas law requires minimum liability coverage of $30,000 per person and $60,000 per crash, many drivers carry no insurance at all. We review your policy for Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM) coverage and Personal Injury Protection (PIP) to help pay your bills.
