Frequently Asked Questions
First, ensure your safety and seek medical attention, even if injuries seem minor. Report the accident to law enforcement and obtain a copy of the police report. Document the scene by taking photographs and gathering contact information from witnesses. Notify your insurance company promptly. Consulting with a personal injury attorney can help protect your rights and guide you through the claims process.
Texas follows a “modified comparative negligence” rule, meaning if you are less than 51% at fault, you can still recover damages, though your compensation may be reduced by your percentage of fault. Evidence such as police reports, witness statements, and accident reconstructions are used to establish liability.
Depending on the specifics of your case, you may be eligible for compensation covering medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, pain and suffering, and other related costs. An attorney can help evaluate your case and determine the appropriate compensation to pursue.
In Texas, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is generally two years from the date of the accident. It’s advisable to consult with an attorney promptly to ensure all legal deadlines are met and to preserve crucial evidence.
Even if an insurance company offers a settlement, it’s beneficial to consult with a personal injury attorney before accepting. Insurance companies may attempt to minimize payouts, and an attorney can help ensure that the settlement adequately covers all your damages and losses.
