Hurt in a crash someone else caused?
Answer six questions. If your situation fits, we connect you with a personal injury attorney licensed in your state — usually a phone call within minutes. It costs nothing to talk, and you decide whether to hire anyone.
If someone is hurt right now, call 911 first. This page is for what comes afterward. Lex & Lead is an advertising service, not a law firm, and cannot give legal advice.
Question 1 of 6
No cost · takes 2 minutes
Lex & Lead is an advertising service, not a law firm, and nothing here is legal advice. We do not decide whether you have a case; a licensed attorney does. Submitting this form does not create an attorney–client relationship. How we handle your information.
$0
To speak with an attorney. We take nothing from any recovery, ever.
1 firm
Receives your information — named before you check the consent box.
16 hrs
A day, seven days a week, answered by a person. Not a phone tree.
1 word
Stops all contact. STOP by text or one call, permanent within a business day.
Put in writing
Five promises. Hold us to every one.
You've never heard of us, you're in pain, and every site in this category says the same three things. So instead of adjectives, here is exactly how we operate — written plainly enough to be caught breaking.
i
A person answers, and a person calls you back.
The intake floor is staffed sixteen hours a day, seven days a week, in English and Spanish. No automated voice decides anything about your situation, and nobody reads you a script pretending to be a lawyer.
ii
Your information goes to one law firm. Not ten.
The firm is named in the consent box before you check it. We don't auction your crash to a bidding pool, sell your number to data brokers, or add you to marketing lists. One submission, one firm, and a record of exactly what you agreed to.
iii
If we can't help, we say so before taking your number.
Past the deadline, nobody hurt, you caused it, or you already have counsel — the form tells you honestly, explains why, and points you somewhere useful. It does not collect your phone number on the way out.
iv
We never touch your settlement.
Law firms pay us flat advertising fees that don't depend on your case or its outcome. Whatever an attorney recovers for you, our share of it is zero — and the attorney's own fee is explained to you, in writing, before you sign anything.
v
One word ends all contact, permanently.
Reply STOP to any text, say it on the phone, or call once. Suppression is processed within a business day, applies to everything we run, and doesn't expire. You will not be won back, drip-emailed, or "checked in on."
Lex & Lead · Houston, Texas
What happens next
No mystery. Here is the whole process.
You will not be passed around a call center, and nothing about your claim is decided by anyone who isn't a lawyer.
i
You answer six questions
When it happened, whether you were hurt, who caused it, your state, and whether you already have a lawyer. We ask for your name and number last, and only if your situation fits.
ii
A person calls you
Someone from Lex & Lead confirms the details, in English or Spanish. They won't estimate what your claim is worth or tell you what to do — that isn't their job, and they're instructed to say so.
iii
You're connected to an attorney
A personal injury firm licensed in your state, usually on the same call. They decide whether to take your case, and they explain their fees before you agree to anything.
iv
You decide
Hire them, take time to think, or walk away. Promise five applies from the moment you'd rather we stop.
Before you talk to the adjuster
The other driver's insurer called within a day. That is not a coincidence.
Their adjuster is trained, paid, and measured on closing claims cheaply and early — often before anyone knows how badly you're hurt. None of this is legal advice. It's what people wish they'd known.
Worth doing
- Get examined, even if you think you're fine. Neck and back injuries commonly surface a day or two later.
- Photograph the vehicles, the scene, and your visible injuries, dated.
- Get the police report number and the other driver's insurance information.
- Keep every bill, discharge paper, prescription, and mileage record in one place.
- Write down what happened while it's fresh — weather, lane positions, what was said.
- Report the crash to your own insurer, as most policies require.
Worth pausing on
- Giving the other insurer a recorded statement before you've spoken with an attorney.
- Signing a medical authorization that opens your entire history rather than this crash.
- Accepting a fast settlement while you're still treating, or before you know the diagnosis.
- Saying "I'm fine" on a recorded line when you haven't been examined.
- Posting about the crash, your injuries, or your activities on social media.
- Guessing at speeds, distances, or fault when you aren't sure.
You are not required to give the other driver's insurer a recorded statement, and an attorney can deal with them on your behalf. If an adjuster is pushing you for one today, that is a good reason to make a call first.
Time limits
Waiting is the one mistake that can't be fixed later.
Every state sets a deadline for filing an injury lawsuit. Miss it and the claim is generally gone, no matter how strong it was. The windows differ by state and by who you're claiming against, and some are far shorter than people expect.
We won't publish a deadline for your state, because getting it wrong could cost you the claim. An attorney licensed where the crash happened can confirm it in one call, at no charge.
Deadlines are shorter against government vehicles
Crashes involving a city bus, transit vehicle, or municipal truck often require formal written notice within months, not years.
Evidence disappears faster than deadlines
Intersection and business camera footage is frequently overwritten in days or weeks. Vehicles get repaired or sold. Witnesses move.
Treatment gaps get used against you
The longer between the crash and your first visit, the harder an adjuster argues the injury came from something else.
Your own policy has notice requirements too
Uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage usually carries its own reporting deadlines, separate from any lawsuit.
What it costs
Nothing to reach us. Ask the attorney about the rest.
Lex & Lead never charges you anything — see promise four. Personal injury firms commonly work on a contingency fee: a percentage of what they recover, with no fee if they recover nothing. Percentages and how case costs are handled vary by firm and by state, so ask for the fee agreement in writing and read it before you sign. Depending on the arrangement, you may still be responsible for certain costs.
No result is ever guaranteed, and past results don't predict what happens in your case. The attorney who takes your call is responsible for their own advertising and fee disclosures.
Common questions
Straight answers, including the unflattering ones.
Are you a law firm?
No. Lex & Lead is an advertising and intake company. We are not lawyers, we can't give you legal advice, and we can't tell you whether you have a case. What we do is ask a short set of questions and connect people whose situation fits with a personal injury firm licensed in their state.
What happens to my information?
It goes to Lex & Lead and to one participating law firm in your state — the firm named in the consent box on the form. We don't sell it to data brokers, we don't add you to marketing lists, and we don't share it with anyone else. Full detail is in ourprivacy notice.
Will I get flooded with calls from ten different firms?
Not from us. Your information goes to one firm. If you've filled out forms on several other websites, those are separate — many lead sites send one submission to multiple buyers. Ours doesn't.
How do I stop hearing from you?
Reply STOP to any text, tell the person on the phone, emailoptout@lexandlead.com, or call(888) 555-0142. It's processed within one business day and it's permanent. If a law firm has already contacted you, ask them directly as well — they control their own outreach.
I don't have a police report. Does that end it?
Not necessarily. A report helps, but claims proceed without one. What matters more is that you were examined, that the other driver is identifiable, and that some record exists of what happened. Mention it on the call rather than assuming it disqualifies you.
What if I was partly at fault?
Many states still allow recovery when fault is shared, often reduced by your share of it. Rules differ significantly by state, which is exactly the kind of question for an attorney rather than for us. Answer "shared or not sure" on the form and let the lawyer sort it out.
Why would I use you instead of calling a firm myself?
You can, and if you already know a lawyer you trust, call them. The honest case for us is speed and fit: we're staffed sixteen hours a day, we check the basics before anyone's time is wasted, and we route to a firm that handles your state and your type of crash. If your situation doesn't fit, we tell you at once and take nothing.
