Frequently Asked Questions
The first priority is your safety. Seek medical attention right away, even if you don’t feel injured, as some symptoms may appear later. Report the accident to law enforcement, document the scene with photos, and gather witness contact information. Then, contact an experienced attorney to protect your rights and build your case.
Proving distraction can involve gathering evidence such as cell phone records, surveillance footage, police reports, or witness statements. An experienced attorney will know how to investigate thoroughly and secure the evidence needed to demonstrate the other driver’s negligence.
Yes. Texas follows a modified comparative negligence rule, meaning you can still recover compensation if you were less than 51% at fault for the accident. However, your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault.
Compensation may cover medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, property damage, and, in some cases, punitive damages designed to punish the negligent driver. The exact amount will depend on the specifics of your case.
In Texas, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is generally two years from the date of the accident. However, acting quickly ensures evidence is preserved and your case is filed within the required timeframe.
