Texas Personal Injury Laws

Understanding Texas personal injury laws is crucial to building a successful case. Here are some key aspects of the law:

  • Statute of Limitations: In Texas, personal injury victims generally have two years from the date of the injury to file a lawsuit. Failing to meet this deadline may result in losing your right to seek compensation.
  • Comparative Fault Rule: Texas follows a modified comparative negligence rule, meaning if you are partially at fault for the accident, your compensation may be reduced based on your percentage of fault. However, if you are more than 50% at fault, you cannot recover damages.
  • Damage Caps: Texas places limits on certain types of damages, particularly in medical malpractice cases, where non-economic damages (such as pain and suffering) are capped at $250,000 per defendant.

Compensation from a Personal Injury Lawsuit

A successful personal injury claim can provide various forms of compensation, including:

  • Medical Expenses: Covers hospital bills, surgeries, medications, rehabilitation, and ongoing medical treatments.
  • Lost Wages: Reimbursement for income lost due to inability to work during recovery.
  • Pain and Suffering: Compensation for physical pain, emotional distress, and diminished quality of life.
  • Property Damage: Covers repair or replacement of damaged property, such as a vehicle in an auto accident.
  • Punitive Damages: In cases of extreme negligence or malicious intent, punitive damages may be awarded to punish the wrongdoer and deter similar behavior.

Frequently Asked questions

Have questions? We are here to help. Still have questions or can't find the answer you need? Give us a call at (830) 445-2035 today!

  • Do I still have a case if I received a traffic citation stating I cause of the accident?
    The situation depends if the accident was not completely your fault. You can still recover damages from the other driver for the portion of the accident that was his or her fault.
  • Do I have to let my insurer know about the accident if the accident was not my fault?
    Yes, you need to inform your insurance company of the accident even if you weren't at fault.
  • What if I don’t report the accident to my insurance company?
    If you do not report the accident, the insurance company may deny payment of any claims you file subsequently. Your insurance company must notify you within 30 days of receiving proper notice of the claim whether it will pay or deny your claim, or inform you that it is still in the investigation stage.
