Absolutely Amazing to Work With
Jackie was absolutely amazing to work with after my car accident. She was incredibly responsive, helpful, and always made sure my questions were answered quickly. Her communication and support made a stressful situation feel much more manageable. I’m so grateful for her help and highly recommend this firm.
Megan C
So thankful for her and this office
I was in a car accident a few months ago and felt overwhelmed with figuring out what steps I needed to get help due to an injury from the accident along with a total loss from my vehicle. A friend referred me to them with Jackie (who is one of the attorneys in the office). Right away she helped start the process and quickly get through the whole process so easily. If I had any questions I was able to message her and she got back to me right away. If she was away from the office she had someone from the office help me with any questions or help I needed. So thankful for her and this office. I one hundred percent recommend them.
Emily Lopez
Grateful We Were Referred

Ann Arnoult
Blown away by my experience
I am blown away by how great my experience was working with Briggle & Polan. I was referred to them by a friend (who also had a great experience), so I knew I could trust them from the start. Jackie was my primary point of contact, and she was thorough, proactive, and compassionate. After my car accident, they set me up with amazing medical professionals—from MRI imaging to pain management to chiropractic to physical therapy. I finally made a full recovery, and they took care of the rest! It was so helpful to have them walk each step of the way with me. I will tell all my people to work with B & P if they end up in a challenging situation like I did.
Nicole Belle

Natalie Cox
Great help dealing with insurance
I was recommended to Briggle & Polan, LLC by a coworker after being hit by a "landscaping service" truck and trailer on Mopac who was uninsured, caused a multi-car collision, and fled the scene on foot. Great help in dealing with insurance. Provided clear, consistent communication during the process. Patient with my questions and frustration at the situation.
Sharon Fox
A True Lifesaver
A True Lifesaver During One of the Hardest Times of My Life!!!
After my accident, I felt overwhelmed, scared, and completely unsure of what to do next. I was dealing with pain, medical bills, and stress I never expected—but then I found Briggle & Polan, and everything changed.
From the very first call, Jackie made me feel heard and understood. They weren’t just handling a case—they were taking care of me as a person. Jackie guided me through every step, answered every question with patience, and fought hard to make sure I got the justice and support I deserved.
Thanks to Briggle & Polan, I was able to focus on healing while they took care of the rest. I’ll never forget how much they helped me during such a difficult chapter in my life. If you’re looking for someone who truly cares and will stand by you, this is the team you want.
AuDrea King
Top Notch Representation
From start to finish, the team that represented me at Briggle & Polan, PLLC, was top notch! My case wasn’t a very large one, but I feel the team at Briggle & Polan, PLLC, treated it as if it was. They didn’t allow me to be taken advantage of by the big insurance company and most certainly didn’t back down from them either. My only goal was to recover what I lost in the accident, but thanks to my team at Briggle & Polan, PLLC, we settled for way more. I’d recommend Briggle & Polan, PLLC, to my family, friends, and for anyone looking for good solid representation in the future.
KENNETH HALE
Punctual and Attentive Assistance
I was in an accident, rear-ended between two vehicles. After doing research, I reached out to Briggle and Polan. Jackie assisted me throughout the entire process; she was punctual, attentive, and made the situation as easy as possible for me. Should I (hopefully not) ever get into an accident again, I will be going back to them!
Adrian Lopez
Jackie Ybarra is THE best!
My wife and I were rear-ended by a drunk driver and were recommended by a close friend to use Hayden Briggle. We simply didn’t have time to handle it ourselves. I am glad we did! Jackie Ybarra actually handled the case for us and was awesome to work with. She stayed on top of everything and kept us informed from the beginning to the end. I could not recommend Jackie enough, she is THE best!
Ron Hebert
Highly recommend Briggle & Polan
After being in a car accident, I didn't want to handle the insurance companies. Also, not really qualified. So I reached out to a friend and they recommended Briggle & Polan, PLLC. I called them and they immediately started to take care of me. Jackie, the paralegal in my case, was prompt, friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. I know that these kinds of cases can take a long time sometimes, but they didn't drag out unnecessarily. I really appreciate the care and thoroughness they exhibited. I highly recommend them.

Great Communication and Attention
This is the second time I have worked with them on an accident. Great communication and attention to the client. I will always recommend!
Rosa Ponce
I would hire them again.
My friend recommended Briggle & Polan, LLC after I was in a hit-and-run accident. They took my case and from the beginning, they explained to me how much % I was going to get after paying doctors and their fees. Jackie was my contact and she kept me updated throughout the negotiations. I was treated by the doctors they have. I would hire them again.
Karina Martinez
Extremely Grateful for Briggle and Polan
I was hit by another driver in Texas earlier this year. A broken wrist and mild concussion sent me to the hospital, and the next morning I had surgery including a metal plate and 9 screws in the wrist. When the dust settled a bit, a good friend and attorney connected me with Jackie at Briggle and Polan for legal assistance. Jackie and staff were fantastic! Professional. Courteous. Efficient. I passed along all the information I had, and they took control from there which allowed me to focus on healing and getting back to work and life. I’m extremely grateful for the Briggle and Polan team. 10/10 would definitely recommend!!
Mark Harari
Highly Recommend Jackie
10/10 recommend Jackie. She was such a big help for me & my family. Someone hit me & my family, & at the time I was pregnant & my car was a total loss. She was able to help me get a check for my car & helped with a settlement. So thankful for her help! She also helped me with any appointments, kept in touch with me, and answered all my questions because, of course, I’m young, & this was my first time getting a settlement. I would definitely go back to her again, & I will recommend her to all my family & friends! 🫶🏼
Heavenlyann Perez
Exceeded My Expectations
I recently had the pleasure of working with Briggle & Polan, PLLC, for my car accident case, and I must say, the experience far exceeded my expectations. As someone who had never navigated the complexities of a car accident lawsuit, especially one involving a company rather than an individual, I was initially overwhelmed and unsure of how to proceed. Thankfully, I decided to seek professional help, and choosing Briggle & Polan was one of the best decisions I could have made. From the outset, the team at Briggle & Polan provided invaluable advice, guiding me through the process with ease and clarity. What stood out to me was their approach to my case. They offered great advice and options but never strong-armed me into making decisions. This approach made me feel supported rather than controlled, which was incredibly reassuring during such a stressful time. My attorney was not only attentive and intelligent but also diligently worked on my behalf, ensuring that every aspect of my case was thoroughly covered. Their expertise was evident in how they handled negotiations, even going so far as to help me negotiate the costs to ensure their legal fees were covered without putting me at a financial disadvantage. For anyone on the fence about whether to hire an attorney for a car accident case, I cannot recommend Briggle & Polan, PLLC, enough. Their professionalism, dedication, and genuine care for their clients' well-being have truly made a significant difference in my life post-accident. Hiring them not only helped me navigate the legal complexities with confidence but also ensured a fair and positive outcome. Thank you, Briggle & Polan, PLLC, for your exceptional service and support. Your assistance has been invaluable, and I highly recommend your firm to anyone in need of legal representation in car accident cases. If I'm allowed to name drop, Jackeline Ybarra was the person I spoke to about my case consistently. She may or may not have been the person that did all the heavy lifting but she certainly was the one that stayed in constant communication with me regardless of how many questions I had. So shout out to Jackeline for an excellent legal experience.
Nick Richards
Highly Recommend, They're Reliable
They helped me with my car accident and all medical bills were taken care of and covered. Highly recommend, they're reliable, fast, and understanding. I ended up getting a lot more back than I thought I would honestly. I really appreciate all their help.
Coralyy
Grateful for Their Expertise
As someone who is highly unfamiliar with the car accident legal process, I was really nervous about finding someone to best represent me. But Briggle & Polan guided me every step of the way and I'm grateful for their expertise and advocacy. Shout out to Hayden for being so easy to talk to and answering all my questions. I would definitely recommend them for their professionalism, transparency, and good communication.
Elizabeth Aritonang
I could not have been happier
I could not have been happier with my choice to go with Briggle & Polan PLLC. I was in a car accident (not my fault). I thought I didn’t need to get a lawyer; it seemed like a fairly simple case, right up to the point when it wasn’t. I knew I was in over my head, so I called Briggle & Polan, and I’m glad I did. I was first contacted by Amelia Harris and gave her the details of my case, and within a couple of days, I got a call from one of the partners saying they would take the case. My advice for anyone going through this is to be patient. I was kept up to date through the whole process, which took four or five months. Anytime I had a question it was answered promptly. Mrs. Harris called me with every change and offer and explained there were still a few more steps they could try. This is where the patience comes in. I waited until all the offers were in and was more than happy with the settlement, even a little surprised. Everyone I talked to was easy to talk to, and I never had a second thought of their representing me. It all worked out great. Just be patient.

How long do I have to file a claim?
The time limit to file a claim, known as the statute of limitations, varies by state. It's typically between one to three years from the accident date. Consult a lawyer to understand the specific deadline applicable to your case.
What should I do immediately after an auto accident?
Ensure everyone's safety and call emergency services if needed. Exchange information with the other driver and gather evidence, including photos and witness details. Notify your insurance company and seek medical attention, even if you feel fine.
How is pain and suffering calculated?
Pain and suffering are considered non-economic damages and are calculated based on factors like the severity of injuries, impact on your daily life, and recovery duration. Your lawyer can provide an estimate.
