Do I Have a Car Accident Claim?
When we get behind the wheel, we all have a legal duty to operate our vehicles safely and follow the rules of the road. When a driver fails to meet this responsibility, and their careless actions cause an accident that injures another person, they have acted negligently. If you suffered injuries in an accident because of another driver's negligence, you have the right to file a personal injury claim to hold them accountable and pursue damages.
Common examples of negligent driving include:
- Distracted driving
- Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
- Fatigued driving
- Reckless driving
- Excessive speeding
- Failing to observe traffic signs or signals
- Failing to yield the right-of-way
If you aren’t sure whether you have a strong case, we encourage you to discuss your situation with our team at Fight My Injury. We can meet with you virtually, review the details of what happened, determine whether negligence was involved, and walk you through your legal options.
How Long Do I Have to File a Car Accident Lawsuit in Texas?
In Texas, the deadline for filing a car accident lawsuit is generally two years from the date of the crash. If you do not start the legal process within this timeframe, the court will almost certainly dismiss your case, and you will lose your right to seek damages, regardless of the strength of your claim.
Some car accidents have fatal consequences. In these tragic scenarios, the timeline for filing a wrongful death claim is a bit different. A two-year deadline still applies, but it is tied to the date the victim passed away, which isn’t always the date of the crash that injured them.
Even though Texas law gives you up to two years to file a car accident lawsuit, it is in your best interest to discuss your case with us as soon as possible. Acting quickly gives us more of an opportunity to investigate and preserve crucial evidence while it is still fresh and available.

What Types of Compensation Can I Recover in a Car Accident Case?
When you file a car accident lawsuit, you can recover compensation for both economic damages and non-economic damages. Economic damages cover the specific, measurable financial losses you incurred because of the accident. These are tangible costs that we can easily calculate using bills, receipts, and other financial documents. Non-economic damages compensate you for the intangible, subjective harm you suffered, which doesn't have a clear dollar value.
Our car accident attorneys can fight to get you full and fair compensation for all of your economic and non-economic damages, including:
- Medical bills
- Lost income
- Reduced earning capacity
- Property damage
- Pain and suffering
- Mental anguish
- Disfigurement
- Loss of enjoyment of life
Can I Still Recover Compensation If I Was Partially At-Fault for a Car Accident in Texas?
You may still be able to recover compensation even if you were partially responsible for a crash, as Texas follows a legal doctrine known as “modified comparative negligence.” This system allows you to seek and recover damages as long as your share of the blame for the accident is determined to be 50% or less. Your total compensation will, however, be reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if a jury finds you were 20% at fault for an accident and you had $100,000 in damages, you would receive $80,000. If a jury decides you are more than 50% to blame, however, you will be unable to recover any compensation.
In the aftermath of a car accident, we want to help you feel heard and supported. Discuss your options for recovering compensation today by calling (832) 753-7961 or contacting us online.
