Hit on Valley roads?The Relentless Lawyer answers.
Rear-end wrecks on Expressway 83, intersection crashes, drunk and distracted drivers, hit-and-runs — Chris Sanchez takes on the auto insurers so you don't have to. Millions recovered, 4.9★, available 24/7, and you pay nothing unless we win.
Representative figures. Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome.
Why The Relentless Lawyer
A car-accident fighter who knows these roads — and never backs down.
We out-prepare the auto insurers
Auto insurers settle small claims fast and grind hard ones down. Chris works up every car-accident file as if a jury will see it — pulling the crash report, scene photos, and damage estimates — so the adjuster's offer reflects what your wreck really cost you.
Bilingual & from the Valley
We're not an out-of-town 1-800 number. Chris grew up driving these same expressways, our whole team is bilingual, and we walk you through your car-accident claim in English or Spanish — whichever feels like home.
No fee unless we win
Your case review is free and nothing comes out of your pocket. We're only paid a percentage if we recover for you — so when the other driver's insurer lowballs you, our incentive is to push for every dollar, just like yours.
From the crash scene to the settlement
We carry your car-accident case from impact to recovery.
Scroll through how we turn a wreck into a winning claim.
At the scene
Glass, adrenaline, and a ringing phone
One second you're driving home; the next your hood is folded and your neck is on fire. Call 911, photograph everything, and get the other driver's plate and insurance. Then — before the at-fault adjuster calls you 'just to check in' — call us. What you do in the first hour shapes the whole claim.
The ER & after
We get your injuries documented and treated
Whiplash, a concussion, a herniated disc — crash injuries often hit days later. We get you to RGV doctors who treat you now, often with no money up front, and we tie every diagnosis back to the collision so the insurer can't claim you weren't really hurt.
Insurer tactics
We shut down the lowball playbook
The other driver's insurer wants a recorded statement, a quick check, and your signature closing the claim before you know if you need surgery. Once you hire us, they talk to us — not you. No recorded statement, no rushed release, no settling for pennies on a totaled life.
The investigation
We prove who's at fault — in writing
We pull the Texas Peace Officer's Crash Report, dashcam and intersection-camera footage, the vehicles' black-box data, and witness statements, then reconstruct the wreck. When liability is locked down on paper, the insurer loses its room to blame you and shrink the check.
The settlement
We demand what the wreck truly cost you
Medical bills, future treatment, lost wages, your totaled vehicle, and the pain of it all — we add it up and demand the full amount. If the auto insurer won't pay, Chris is ready to file suit and take them to a Hidalgo County jury.
Representative results
The kind of car-accident outcomes we fight for.
Recovered for a McAllen family after a commercial truck driver ran a red light.
Secured a full policy-limits settlement after the at-fault driver's insurer first denied liability.
Recovery for a San Juan client struck by an intoxicated driver at an intersection.
Sample, representative results for illustration only — not actual case figures. Every case is unique and prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome.
What clients say
Chris Sanchez, J.D.
The Relentless Lawyer
“After my wreck I felt completely lost. Chris and his team explained everything in Spanish and English, dealt with the other driver's insurance, and got me far more than they first offered. They treated me like family.”
Common questions
Car-accident answers before you even call.
What should I do right after a car accident in McAllen?
If you can, move to safety and call 911 so an officer documents the crash. Photograph the vehicles, the road, and any injuries; get the other driver's license, plate, and insurance; and collect witness names. See a doctor the same day even if you feel okay. Then call us before giving any statement to the other driver's insurer — what you say early can be used to cut your payout.
How long do I have to file a car accident claim in Texas?
In most Texas car accident cases you have two years from the date of the crash to file a lawsuit. Waiting hurts you, though — dashcam footage gets overwritten, skid marks fade, and witnesses move. The sooner you call, the more evidence we can lock down for your claim.
What if the driver who hit me had no insurance or fled the scene?
You may still recover. If you carry uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage, your own policy can pay for a hit-and-run or an uninsured at-fault driver — and Texas drivers often have this coverage without realizing it. We review your policy for free, find every layer of coverage, and fight your own insurer if it stalls on a UM claim.
The insurance company offered me a settlement already — should I take it?
Almost never without talking to a lawyer first. A fast offer made days after a wreck is designed to close your claim before you know whether you'll need an MRI, injections, or surgery — and once you sign the release, you can't ask for more. Let us value the full claim, including future care and your damaged vehicle, before you accept anything.
