Meet Israel Medina
Driven by his family's hardworking ethos, Israel Medina earned his Juris Doctor from Suffolk University Law School in Boston. After graduating, he established his own practice as an oilfield injury attorney in West Texas, motivated by a passion for social justice and his firsthand experience with workers striving for a better life.
Having lived through his father's struggles as an undocumented immigrant, Israel Medina was inspired to provide comfort and reassurance to his people. At the Medina Law Firm, our team shares the bond of Mexican heritage and Spanish fluency. This allows us to foster deeper connections with our clients, many of whom are of Hispanic heritage.
Growing up and later working in the oil fields as a welder, truck driver, and maintenance technician, Israel Medina saw firsthand how both documented and undocumented workers were mistreated and put in dangerous jobs. He knew early on what he needed to do to make a difference. Israel chose a career in law to fight for their rights.
FAQ
“My suggestion would always be to make that first phone call. Call our office, and we can let you know which avenues you can take to protect yourself and protect your families.” - Israel Medina
In Texas, the statute of limitations for personal injury cases is two years. Consulting with an attorney ensures you are within the necessary timeframe.
The statute of limitations limits the time to file legal proceedings after an event. Once it expires, the claim is unenforceable. Timeframes vary by claim type, such as personal injury or breach of contract.
If you file after the statute of limitations expires, the court may dismiss your case. You could lose the chance to recover damages or seek legal remedies, making timely action critical.
Yes, exceptions include cases involving minors, incapacity, fraud, or discovery of injury later. These exceptions may extend the filing period, allowing more time to bring forth a claim.
Yes, settlement negotiations can toll the statute of limitations, pausing the deadline while both parties attempt to resolve the issue out of court, providing more time to reach an agreement.
The Medina Law Firm ensures your case is filed within the appropriate timeline, monitors deadlines, gathers evidence, and develops a legal strategy to maximize your chances of success. We keep you informed every step of the way.
