From day one, we build your case with evidence such as:

  • • Expert testimony from accident reconstruction specialists

While you focus on recovery, your Houston car accident lawyers will investigate the accident, determine liability, and hold the responsible parties accountable.

If a fatal car accident has affected your family, our Houston car accident attorneys can pursue a wrongful death claim.

3. You Pay Nothing Upfront

After a Houston car crash, your priority should be recovery, not fighting with insurance companies. Let us handle the legal and financial complexities for you. We work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing upfront—we only collect a percentage of your settlement if we win your case.

Our Houston car accident attorneys ensure that the insurance company fully accounts for ALL of your injuries and other personal injury damages. Every day, we help car accident victims identify expenses related to serious injuries that insurance companies may overlook.

How Does a Texas Car Accident Claim Work?

Understanding Compensation After a Texas Car Accident

To win your case, we must prove negligence. This means we must prove the at-fault party had a responsibility to act safely and you suffered actual financial losses and injuries.

Common Examples of Negligence in Car Accident Cases

  • • Drunk driving or driving under the influence
  • • Texting while driving or other distracted driving
  • • Speeding or reckless driving
  • • Running red lights or stop signs
  • • Failing to maintain safe following distances
  • • Not following traffic laws

Insurance Company Tactics Could Leave You Paying Out of Pocket

Filing an insurance claim may seem straightforward, but insurance companies prioritize profits over payouts. They will use various tactics to minimize or deny your claim, including offering low-ball settlements in hopes you accept quickly and close the case.

Texas is an at-fault state for car insurance, meaning drivers responsible for an accident must pay for the resulting damages through their insurance policy. If their policy limits are insufficient to cover your expenses, you have the legal right to sue the at-fault driver for negligence to recover full compensation.

Modified Comparative Negligence in Texas

Texas follows a modified comparative negligence rule, which means multiple parties can share fault in an accident. However, this principle can work against you if your actions—such as speeding—contributed to the crash.

If you are 51% or less responsible, you can still seek compensation from the negligent party, but your settlement or jury award will be reduced by your percentage of fault.

For example, if you are found 20% at fault, your compensation will be reduced by 20%.

A key part of personal injury law is establishing fault while minimizing the client’s perceived negligence. As your car accident attorney we will gather and present evidence—such as law enforcement testimony—to prove the other party’s liability and secure your right to damages.

Car Accident FAQs

Is a Car Accident Claim Worth the Hassle?

When deciding on whether to pursue an injury claim for your car accident the following question will inevitably enter your mind: “Is it worth it?”

Although many accident lawyers will tell you, “Yes, it’s always worth it,” the truth of the matter is that there’s no solid formula for determining how much a case’s settlement will be worth.

How Much is My Accident Case Worth?

Every case is unique and has its own deciding factors for potential compensation. However, even though a settlement amount can’t be guaranteed (and if a lawyer claims that it can you should run in the opposite direction), an experienced attorney can help you estimate the worth by valuing the special factors associated with your particular accident.

Our experienced attorneys will look at all the specifics of your claim to help you determine a fair amount for all of your expenses (past and future). It’s important to note that although previous successful cases may be used for guidance, we will never guarantee our clients the same outcome as another—and you wouldn’t want us to.

Your case is unique and you deserve more than a hollow promise—you deserve honesty and personal attention.

Common Car Accident Injuries That Cause Pain

How Long Will My Car Accident Lawsuit Take?

Every accident case is different. Some cases settle in months, while complex cases involving severe injuries or wrongful death may take longer. We never rush your case because we want to ensure you receive fair compensation.

Important factors that affect timing:

  • • The severity of your injuries and medical treatment needed
  • • Whether you’ve reached maximum medical improvement
  • • The complexity of proving fault
  • • The insurance company’s willingness to offer fair settlement

Am I Supposed to Report Even Minor Accidents to the Police?

Most people do not want to be a bother to anyone, let alone law enforcement officials. So often when we see an accident or suspicious activity, we consider reporting it to the police, only to decide against it. Usually, we talk ourselves out of it, assuming that others have called or it isn’t serious enough to report.

In the case of your own auto accident, however, you have much more riding on that call to law enforcement. By calling the police, it may feel as though you are blowing a fender-bender out of proportion, or distracting officers from more serious crimes.

Making that call, however, can mean the difference in receiving what you deserve and receiving nothing at all.
