Car Accidents in Texas
Texas roads see thousands of vehicle accidents every month, with injuries ranging from minor to life-altering. The Lone Star State consistently ranks among the highest in the nation for traffic crashes, underscoring the importance of safe driving and awareness at all times. Whether on a rural backroad or a busy city street, danger can strike without warning.
For those hurt in collisions, understanding how compensation works in Texas is key. Here are some helpful points about personal injury claims:
- Comparative Fault Rules: Texas follows a modified comparative fault system. If you are found to be partially at fault, your compensation can be reduced proportionally. However, as long as you are not more than 50% at fault, you may still recover damages.
- Economic vs. Non-Economic Damages: Victims can pursue both measurable losses (like medical bills and lost wages) and intangible ones (like pain and suffering). Each plays an important role in the final settlement or verdict amount.
- Statute of Limitations: You have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury claim in Texas. If you miss this deadline, you may forfeit your right to pursue compensation, regardless of the injury’s impact.
- Evidence is Critical: Photos, medical records, police reports, and witness statements can all support your claim. The more documentation you have, the stronger your case will be when negotiating with insurers or presenting in court.
- Insurance Company Tactics: Insurers may attempt to settle for less than what your claim is worth—or deny it altogether. Having legal support can help level the playing field and improve your chances of a fair outcome.
- Pain and Suffering Calculation: There’s no fixed formula, but courts may use a multiplier method, especially in severe injury cases. This reflects the emotional and physical toll that can’t be measured through bills alone.
