Personal injury · Weslaco
Hurt at work or on the road near Weslaco
Weslaco is home to the Texas A&M AgriLife Research and Extension Center, which works on the Valley's fruit and vegetable crops. Farm and field jobs come with their own workers' compensation rules in Texas, and the state lets most private employers decide whether to carry that coverage at all.
South of town, CBP's Progreso port runs the Progreso International Bridge and the Donna International Crossing, both open to commercial trucks, and I-2 runs through Weslaco between McAllen and Harlingen. If a truck, a car or a job left you hurt, our personal injury attorney works out who is responsible and deals with the insurers.
You pay no attorney's fee unless we recover money for you.

Questions
Weslaco questions, answered
Something else? Call (956) 540-2255 or send us a WhatsApp message.
Do you have an office in Weslaco?
No. Clients from Weslaco meet us at our McAllen office, or by phone, WhatsApp or video. The office is at 1201 W Houston Ave., about 18 miles west of Weslaco City Hall.
Which USCIS office handles Weslaco cases?
USCIS lists its Rio Grande Valley Field Office in Edinburg for Weslaco ZIP codes 78596 and 78599, and the Application Support Center in McAllen for fingerprints. Your appointment notice has the final word (USCIS field office list).
I was hurt working on a farm. Can I still make a claim?
Possibly. Texas has separate workers' compensation rules for farm and ranch workers, and a labor contractor who brought you to the job can be treated as your employer. Whether you have a claim depends on who employed you, whether there was coverage and how you were hurt. Our page on workplace injury claims explains the options.
What should I bring to a first immigration meeting?
Bring what you have: passports, birth and marriage certificates, any letters from USCIS or the immigration court, and copies of past applications. If you are not sure about a paper, bring it, or ask us on WhatsApp.
Can we meet by video instead of driving to McAllen?
Yes. You can start with a phone call or a WhatsApp message, and we can meet by video when that works better than the drive.
Your family first. Call us.
