Hurt in a car accident in Harlingen? Speak directly with attorney Patrick Toscano — not a call center. No win, no fee. Hablamos español.
If you were hurt in a car accident in Harlingen or anywhere in Cameron County, you don’t have to face the insurance companies alone. Attorney Patrick Toscano has spent more than 23 years fighting for injured Texans — and when you call, you reach Patrick directly, not a phone tree.
Harlingen sits at the crossroads of Expressway 77/83, U.S. 77, and Spur 54 — corridors that move Valley traffic between Brownsville, McAllen, and points north. Congestion around downtown, the airport approaches, and the Expressway frontage roads means rear-end and lane-change wrecks are common, especially in peak commute hours.
If you were hit in Harlingen, San Benito, or elsewhere in Cameron County, you deserve a lawyer who will actually pick up the phone. Patrick Toscano works South Texas crash cases on contingency and speaks with Spanish-speaking clients daily. Pair this page with our broader car accident and truck accident resources if a commercial vehicle was involved.
Why Hire a Harlingen Car Accident Lawyer
After a wreck, the at-fault driver’s insurance company has one goal: to pay you as little as possible. An experienced car accident lawyer levels the playing field — investigating the crash, preserving evidence, documenting your injuries and lost wages, and negotiating (or litigating) so you aren’t pressured into a fast, low settlement.

Texas Car Accident Law: What to Know
In Texas, you generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. Texas also follows a modified comparative negligence rule: you can recover damages as long as you are not more than 50% at fault, though your recovery is reduced by your share of responsibility. Because insurers often try to shift blame to reduce what they pay, having a lawyer document fault early can make a major difference.
