The History of the Second Ward Neighborhood in Houston, TX

The Second Ward was one of Houston’s original four wards, initially serving as a close community for German immigrants. However, during the 1920s and again during the post-World War II period, the Second Ward (also known as “Segundo Barrio”) experienced influxes of Mexican-American residents. Important cultural landmarks and institutions—including Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church, Ripley House, and Papel Chicano—also began to emerge.

Today, the Second Ward continues to be a vibrant cultural area with primarily Hispanic residents amongst a total population of 12,209.

If you’ve been injured in a fall, we’re here to help.

What Does It Cost to Hire a Personal Injury Lawyer in Second Ward?

It won’t cost you any money to hire a personal injury lawyer at Simmons & Fletcher. We work on a contingency fee basis, meaning that we only charge a fee if we win your case. If we do secure compensation in your case, you’ll just pay us a percentage of your winnings that will have been agreed upon ahead of time. This way, you can rest and focus on healing while we focus on achieving a successful outcome for your claim.

Statute of Limitations in the Second Ward for Personal Injury Cases

As part of the state of Texas, personal injury accidents in the Second Ward must comply with the state’s two-year statute of limitations for filing a personal injury claim. In other words, residents of the Second Ward have two years from the date of their accident to take legal action. In most cases, if your claim is not filed by this deadline, you’ll lose the right to seek compensation altogether, which is why it’s so important to contact a knowledgeable and transparent personal injury attorney as soon as possible.
