Allen, TX Personal Injury Attorney | Jonathan Hwang, JD
Trusted Representation for DFW Personal Injury Cases
If you've been injured in an accident in Allen or throughout Collin County, you need an attorney who understands the local court system and how insurance companies operate in this region. I'm Jonathan Hwang, and I've spent years building my practice right here in Allen—handling everything from car accidents on US-75 to premises liability claims and complex product defect cases.
I work on contingency. That means you pay nothing upfront, and I only get paid if we recover for you. This arrangement is standard in personal injury law, and it aligns my interests with yours: I win when you win.
Why Allen Residents Choose Local Representation
Allen has experienced significant growth over the past decade, transforming from a small suburb into a thriving commercial and residential hub. That growth has brought increased traffic on major corridors like Exchange Parkway, Stacy Road, and US-75—and with it, more accident claims.
When you file a case in Collin County District Court (located in McKinney), you're dealing with a court system that values thorough case preparation and ethical advocacy. Your attorney needs to understand local judicial preferences, docket management, and the specific expectations of Collin County judges. I have that knowledge and experience.
I'm located right here in Allen—at 450 Century Parkway, Suite 250—so I'm accessible to you and familiar with the neighborhoods, roads, and local medical facilities where accidents happen.

Collin County Court System

Accident Hotspots in Allen
US-75 (Central Expressway)
High-speed corridor with frequent rear-end and merge accidents, particularly during commute hours.
Exchange Parkway & Stacy Road
Busy commercial areas with complex intersections; accident patterns often involve turning vehicles and inadequate traffic control.
Bethany Drive Corridor
Residential area with increasing traffic volume; intersection accidents with pedestrian involvement.
Contingency Fee Structure
I charge a contingency fee, which typically runs 33⅓% of your gross recovery. If you receive $100,000 in settlement or judgment, I receive $33,333.33. You keep the remaining balance after medical liens and expenses are paid.
If your case doesn't settle and we go to trial, my fee remains contingent—I advance costs and assume the risk of proceeding. You don't pay unless we win.
FAQs for Allen Residents
Q: How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit in Texas?
In Texas, the statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is two years from the date of injury. For wrongful death claims, it's also two years from the date of death. This is a hard deadline—if you miss it, you lose your right to sue, regardless of the strength of your claim. I recommend calling as soon as possible after an accident, even if you're still receiving treatment.
Q: What if the other driver's insurance company is refusing to negotiate?
Insurance companies use delay tactics and low-ball settlement offers to wear down claimants. If an insurer is being unreasonable, we file suit and proceed through discovery and trial. Sometimes an insurance company will settle once they see that you have an attorney committed to taking the case to trial. I've won trials in Collin County and I'm not afraid to do it again.
Q: Can I still recover if I was partially at fault for the accident?
Texas uses comparative negligence. If you are found to be 30% at fault and the other party is 70% at fault, you can recover 70% of your damages. This is crucial for cases where the accident involves some shared responsibility. I evaluate fault carefully and can often establish that the other party bears primary responsibility.
