Yes. Immigration status generally does not prevent someone from pursuing compensation when another person causes an accident or injury.
A personal-injury claim is a civil matter, not an immigration proceeding. However, no attorney should promise that there is absolutely no immigration risk in every situation. Discuss any concerns privately with your attorney.
Your conversations with your attorney are generally confidential. In Texas, immigration-status evidence may also be excluded when it is irrelevant and unfairly prejudicial. The attorney should object to unnecessary questions about immigration status.
Not necessarily. A law firm may use another form of identification, such as a passport, consular identification card, foreign driver’s license, or ITIN. The firm should explain exactly what documents it requires.
