Filing an Auto Accident Claim

Following your accident, you’re likely focused on two things: Recovering from your injuries and figuring out how you’ll pay your medical bills, especially when you’re likely losing income from being unable to work while you recover.

There are four elements needed to prove negligence in a personal injury claim:

1. The existence of a legal duty owed to the plaintiff: The defendant had a legal duty to exercise care on the roads.
2. The defendant failed to exercise their duty: The defendant's failure to act, or not act, resulted in your injury.
3. Causation: The defendant caused bodily injury and/or harm to your property.
4. Damages: If you suffered physical, emotional or mental damage as a result of your auto accident and/or property damages, you may be awarded damages to help compensate.

Our attorneys are committed to going above and beyond to help you reach a satisfactory settlement. If you’re not happy with the amount in damages the other party offers, we’ll utilize our extensive trial experience to your advantage and fight tirelessly for what you deserve.

Factors to Consider in an Auto Accident Claim

Texas statute of limitations requires that you file your claim within two years after your accident, otherwise the court will not get involved. If you contact us within that two-year time frame, we can better negotiate for a favorable outcome on your behalf.

Further, Texas’ comparative fault law allows courts to administer damages to both parties if each played a role in the auto accident. Using percentages, the court allocates fault based on how involved each party was in causing the auto accident.

For example, let’s say you suffered a physical injury due to an accident in which the front end of your car was hit. But, after looking at the street camera footage, the court finds that you were partially at fault because you didn’t fully stop at a red light before making a right turn: You slowed down and crept to a stop but didn’t completely come to a halt. As a result, when you were about to turn right, an oncoming car speeding 20 MPH above the legal limit wiped out the front of your car.

• You are at fault for not coming to a complete stop
  • Even if you almost fully stopped, the court may find that you’re at fault to some extent
• The defendant was at fault for speeding 20 MPH above the legal limit
  • If they had been driving the speed limit, maybe they would have had time to brake, which could have prevented the accident

A jury may find that you are 25% at fault, and the defendant is 75% at fault. Thus, if the damages were $5,000, you would pay $1,250 and the defendant would pay $3,750.
