I can’t say enough good about them. They found the hospital so negligent, and we have been ever so grateful. They’ve done this whole thing with respect. Get somebody you can trust, and Lyons & Simmons you can trust. - Jessie Adams
Lyons & Simmons is incredible. You instantly feel the compassion, the security, the protection. And you know that you’re in the right place. They treated me like family. When we settled this case, it felt like a weight lifted off my shoulders. - Nate Vasquez
We realized that we needed someone on our side to be his voice, and that’s when Mike & Chris came into the picture. The authority they speak with...I wanted someone like that to stand there and be the voice for my brother. - Mirza Ammar Baig

How We Help You After an Accident

After an accident, one of the most immediate concerns is dealing with insurance companies. Adjusters may ask for statements, request documentation, or attempt to resolve your claim quickly, often before the full extent of your injuries is known. We can step in early to handle these interactions and protect your interests.

When you work with us, you do not have to manage the legal process on your own. We take on the responsibility of preparing your case and dealing with the parties involved so you can focus on your recovery.

We usually help our personal injury clients by:

Managing all communication with insurance companies on your behalf
Reviewing settlement offers and advising you before any decisions are made
Conducting a detailed investigation into the cause of the accident
Preserving key evidence and working with qualified experts
Identifying all potentially responsible parties
Preparing a claim designed to reflect the full scope of your damages

Prepared to Take Your Case to Court

One of the most important factors in a personal injury case is whether your legal team is prepared to go beyond settlement negotiations when necessary. While many claims can be successfully resolved outside of court, others require a willingness to take the case to trial to pursue fair recovery, especially when the insurance company seems set on refusing to cooperate.

We prepare every case as though it will be presented before a judge or jury. This level of preparation can strengthen your position from the outset and allows us to advocate for you with confidence.

Our approach typically includes:

Preparing trial-ready cases from the beginning
Anticipating defense strategies and using counterarguments
Negotiating assertively with insurance companies during settlement talks
Identifying when a settlement offer does not reflect the full value of your claim
Taking cases to court when litigation becomes necessary

Contingency Fee Agreements That Make Representation Accessible

We understand that many people hesitate to seek legal representation because they are concerned about the cost. That is why we offer contingency fee agreements, which allow you to hire our firm without paying upfront legal fees.

Under a contingency fee arrangement, our payment is tied to the outcome of your case. If we achieve recovery for you, our fee is a percentage of that recovery. If no recovery is obtained, you do not owe attorney fees. This payment structure allows you to pursue your claim without adding financial stress during an already difficult time.

Justice Served:

Record Verdicts Achieved

For their successful pursuit of justice in the face of adversity, Lyons & Simmons attorneys Michael Lyons, Chris Simmons, Chris Carr, and Stephen Higdon have been awarded the Dallas Trial Lawyers Association’s prestigious 2021 John Howie Award. The honor is based on the trial team’s work representing an Alabama mother who lost three children in a tragic West Texas highway accident.
In a case that drew national attention, Lyons & Simmons attorneys Michael Lyons, Chris Simmons, Chris Carr, P. Wes Black, and Michael Wozniak won a record-setting $109.5 million verdict against CPS Energy after proving the company’s failure to maintain its gas system led to a devastating explosion and fire. The result not only delivered justice for the victims — it set a new standard for accountability in the utility industry.
The firm secured a landmark jury verdict for a client whose life was permanently changed after systemic hospital failures caused a nearly five-hour delay in emergency surgery, resulting in catastrophic paralysis. The case brought to light serious breaches of hospital policy and was recognized by Courtroom View Network as one of the nation’s top verdicts of 2022.
