Pharr, Texas, is a vibrant city at the crossroads of major highways and international trade routes.

Unfortunately, accidents can and do happen in this environment. If you or a loved one has been injured in Pharr, you need a personal injury lawyer who understands the local landscape and can fight for your rights. The Adley Law Firm is based in Texas and proudly serves clients in Pharr. We are here to help you navigate the legal process with clear, professional guidance, so you can focus on your recovery.

Common Accident and Injury Cases in Pharr

Our legal team has extensive experience handling a wide range of personal injury cases in Pharr and the surrounding Rio Grande Valley. We know every client’s situation is unique, but these are some of the most common types of cases we assist with:

• Auto Accidents: Car accidents are a frequent occurrence in and around Pharr, especially on high-traffic roadways like Expressway 83 and near the Pharr Interchange (where I-2 and I-69C meet). Whether it’s a rear-end collision on N. Cage Boulevard or a multi-car pileup on the expressway, we help victims of negligent drivers. We gather evidence such as police reports and traffic camera footage when available to establish fault. In Hidalgo County (which includes Pharr), thousands of crashes occur each year. In fact, each year, Hidalgo County records over 17,000 crashes​. Our attorneys leverage this experience to argue for full compensation for your injuries, vehicle damage, lost income, and pain and suffering.
• 18-Wheeler and Truck Accidents: Pharr is a major hub for commercial truck traffic, largely due to the Pharr-Reynosa International Bridge. An average of about 5,000 commercial trucks cross the Pharr bridge every day​, carrying goods between the U.S. and Mexico. With so many semi-trucks on our highways, serious trucking accidents can happen. Crashes involving big rigs often result in severe injuries or fatalities. Our firm has the knowledge to handle truck accident cases, which often involve multiple parties (the truck driver, trucking company, insurers, and possibly cargo owners). We will investigate factors like driver fatigue, maintenance issues, and compliance with federal trucking regulations to build a strong case on your behalf.
• Motorcycle Crashes: Pharr’s mild climate allows for year-round motorcycle riding, but unfortunately, not all drivers stay alert for motorcyclists. If you were hit by a car while riding a motorcycle, you could be facing serious injuries such as head trauma or fractures. We advocate for injured motorcyclists, working to show how the other vehicle’s driver was at fault (perhaps by failing to yield or by distracted driving). Our goal is to secure compensation for your medical bills, bike repairs, and the impact on your life.
• Pedestrian and Bicycle Accidents: In the busy streets of Pharr, pedestrians and cyclists are at risk of being struck by vehicles. Crosswalks along South Cage Blvd or intersections on Business 83, for example, can be danger zones if drivers are not careful. If you were walking or biking and got hit by a car, you have rights. We handle cases where pedestrians or bicyclists suffer injuries due to negligent drivers. These cases often involve serious harm, and we seek damages for things like hospital bills, rehabilitation, and pain and suffering on behalf of the victims.
• Slip-and-Fall and Premises Liability: Injuries don’t only happen on the road. If you slipped, tripped, or were injured on someone else’s property in Pharr (such as a grocery store, restaurant, or public place), you may have a premises liability case. For instance, a spill on the floor at a store in Pharr that wasn’t promptly cleaned up could cause a customer to fall and get hurt. Property owners and businesses have a legal duty to maintain safe premises. We help clients prove that a dangerous condition existed and that the owner knew or should have known about it. Compensation in these cases can cover medical expenses, lost wages due to the injury, and more.
• Other Personal Injury Matters: The Adley Law Firm also assists Pharr residents with other injury-related claims, including workplace injuries, construction accidents, dog bites, and wrongful death cases. If your situation involves an injury caused by someone else’s negligence or wrongful act, we are prepared to evaluate and handle your case with the attention it deserves.

No matter the type of accident, our approach remains the same: personalized, compassionate, and tenacious representation. We know that dealing with an injury can throw your life into chaos, so our attorneys take on the legal burden and work tirelessly to seek the justice and compensation you need to move forward.

Steps to Take After an Accident in Pharr

Being involved in an accident can be disorienting. It’s important to stay calm and take steps that will protect your health and your potential injury claim. Here’s what to do if you suffer an accident in Pharr:

1. Call 911 for Help: Report the accident immediately by calling 911. Pharr emergency dispatch will send the necessary responders, such as police officers from the Pharr Police Department and firefighters/EMS from Pharr Fire Department if needed. Getting police on the scene is crucial for documenting what happened. If someone is injured, request medical assistance.
2. Prioritize Medical Treatment: Accept medical attention at the scene and visit a hospital if recommended. Even if you feel “okay,” some injuries (like concussions or internal injuries) may not show immediate symptoms. You can go to a nearby emergency facility. Pharr now has the South Texas Health System ER in Pharr (435 W. Ridge Rd.) for 24/7 emergency care, and full-service hospitals like Rio Grande Regional Hospital in McAllen or DHR Health in Edinburg are also within reach. Prompt treatment ensures your injuries are cared for and creates important medical records.
3. Gather Evidence (If Safe to Do So): If you are not too injured and it is safe, try to collect some evidence at the accident scene. Take photographs of vehicle damage, skid marks, traffic signals, or the hazard that caused your fall – whatever is relevant to the accident. Exchange information with the other parties involved (drivers’ names, contact, insurance info). If there are witnesses, get their names and phone numbers as well. These details can be very useful later.
4. Do Not Admit Fault: While at the scene and afterwards, be careful about what you say. Stick to the facts when speaking with police or other drivers. Don’t apologize or admit blame for the accident, as these statements could be used against you later. Fault will be determined after an investigation – it’s not always immediately clear, especially in multi-vehicle accidents.
5. Follow Up and Document: After the accident, follow all medical advice. Keep records of everything – doctor’s visits, prescriptions, days missed from work, and any other ways the injury affects your life. Also, obtain a copy of the police accident report. (Instructions for getting your report in Pharr are provided below.) Maintaining a file of documents will help your attorney build a strong case.
6. Consult a Personal Injury Attorney: Before giving any recorded statements to insurance companies or accepting any settlement offers, consult with a qualified personal injury lawyer in Pharr. The Adley Law Firm offers free consultations and can advise you of your rights. We can deal with the insurance adjusters on your behalf, so you don’t have to worry about saying something that might hurt your claim. We work to ensure you are treated fairly and get what you truly deserve under the law.

These steps apply whether you were in a traffic accident or any other incident leading to injury. By being proactive and seeking legal guidance early, you give yourself the best chance at a successful outcome. Our firm is ready to assist you at each stage, from the immediate aftermath of the accident to the resolution of your claim.

Pharr Emergency Services and Contacts

Pharr has robust local services to help during and after emergencies. Here are some key local contacts and resources for accident victims in Pharr:

• Pharr Police Department: 1900 S. Cage Blvd., Pharr, TX 78577. Non-Emergency Phone: 956-402-4700​. The Pharr PD is the primary law enforcement agency in the city. They will likely be the ones responding to car accidents within Pharr. The police will secure the scene, get you medical aid, and file an accident report. For non-emergency inquiries or to follow up on a report, you can call their main line during business hours.
• Pharr Fire Department (Fire & EMS): 118 S. Cage Blvd., Pharr, TX 78577 (Fire Administration Office). Phone: 956-402-4400​. The Pharr Fire Department provides fire suppression and emergency medical services. They have multiple fire stations across Pharr for quick response. In a serious vehicle accident or any incident involving injuries, Pharr’s firefighter-paramedics may arrive to provide critical first aid and transport victims to the hospital. The Fire Administration office can answer non-urgent questions about fire/EMS services.
• Local Hospitals and Medical Centers: While Pharr itself has emergency clinics (like STHS ER Pharr), major hospitals nearby include Rio Grande Regional Hospital in McAllen and DHR Health (Doctors Hospital at Renaissance) in Edinburg. Rio Grande Regional is a full-service 320-bed acute care hospital with a Level III Trauma Center, which means it’s equipped to handle severe injuries. DHR Health is another large facility offering comprehensive medical care. If you require hospitalization or specialized treatment, you will likely be taken to one of these hospitals. Always keep track of which facility treated you and keep copies of all discharge papers and instructions.
• Pharr-Reynosa International Bridge Authority: Address: 9900 S. Cage Blvd., Pharr, TX 78577. Phone: 956-402-4660. This is not an emergency service, but given the impact of the international bridge on local traffic, it’s worth noting. They manage the commercial and passenger vehicle bridge to Reynosa, MX. In case of any incident on the bridge or related traffic advisories, they would be involved. For general traffic updates or issues related to the bridge (which can affect highway congestion and possibly contribute to accidents), you can follow their announcements or the City of Pharr’s alerts.

Keep these contacts handy. If you’re involved in an accident, local authorities like Pharr PD and Fire will be your first responders. After the incident, knowing how to reach the police department or obtain medical records from the hospital can be very helpful. Our law firm often works with these local entities – for example, we obtain accident reports from Pharr PD and medical records from hospitals with your permission – to build your case.

Obtaining a Police Accident Report in Pharr

After a motor vehicle accident in Pharr, one of the important documents will be the police accident report (sometimes called a crash report). This report contains the officer’s record of the scene, facts, and an initial assessment of fault, which insurance companies heavily consider. Here’s how you can get your report:

• Pharr Police Department Records Division: The Pharr PD’s Records Division can provide you a copy of your crash report. Typically, reports are ready within a few days after the accident. To check if your report is available or to request it, you can call the Pharr Police Records Division at 956-402-4880​. They will ask for details like the date of the crash, location, or case number if you have it. There is a $6 fee for an accident report in Texas (or $8 for a certified copy). You may need to pick it up in person at the police department (1900 S. Cage Blvd.) or possibly request via mail. It’s wise to call ahead to get the exact instructions from the records clerk.
• Online via TxDOT: Like elsewhere in Texas, Pharr accident reports are also filed with the Texas Department of Transportation. You can use TxDOT’s Crash Records Information System (CRIS) online portal to purchase a copy of your report. You’ll need to enter identifying information (such as the names of those involved, the date of the accident, and the city) to locate your report. There is a small convenience charge for using the online system, but it allows you to download the report instantly as a PDF. This can save you a trip to the police station. Note that you must be an authorized person (like a driver, passenger, property owner, or insurance representative involved in the accident) to access the report due to state privacy rules.

Our legal team can also obtain the police report for you as part of our investigation. The accident report is a critical piece of evidence; it often contains the officer’s judgment on who caused the crash (for example, noting if one driver was cited for a traffic violation). While the police report itself isn’t absolute proof and isn’t admissible in civil court to directly prove fault, it can strongly influence insurance negotiations. We will review the report with you, explain what it means, and correct any errors in it through proper channels if necessary.

In addition to the police report, we often gather other evidence such as 911 call recordings, traffic camera footage, or dashcam video when available. The sooner you involve us, the sooner we can start collecting and preserving this evidence.
