Your Texas Injury Claim Questions, Answered

Clear, practical answers to common questions under Texas personal injury law.

If your question isn’t answered here or you’d like tailored guidance after an injury, schedule a free consultation.

How does fault affect a Texas personal injury claim?

Texas follows a proportionate responsibility system. Compensation may be available if you are not more than 50 percent responsible, with any recovery reduced by your share of fault. (codified in Chapter 33 of the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code)

What is the deadline to file a personal injury claim in Texas?

In most cases, Texas personal injury claims must be filed within two years from the date of the injury under Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code §16.003.

Certain claims, including those involving government entities or delayed discovery, may require earlier action. A personal injury attorney can help confirm how the deadline applies to a specific cas

What compensation is available in a Texas personal injury case?

Depending on the facts, Texas injury claims may include compensation for medical expenses, lost income, reduced earning capacity, property damage, pain and suffering, and future medical care.

Some claims are subject to statutory rules or limitations based on fault and case type. Reviewing the claim with a lawyer can help clarify which damages may be recoverable under Texas law.

What should I do after a car or truck accident in Texas?

After a Texas motor vehicle accident, it is generally advised to seek medical care, report the crash, and document injuries and vehicle damage. Texas law requires reporting accidents involving injury, death, or significant property damage.

Because insurance companies may contact drivers quickly, speaking with a Texas personal injury attorney early can help protect legal rights before settlement discussions begin.

How do attorney fees work in Texas personal injury cases?

Most Texas personal injury attorneys work on a contingency fee basis, meaning attorney fees are only paid if compensation is recovered. The fee percentage must be clearly disclosed in a written agreement.

This structure allows injured individuals to pursue claims without upfront legal costs.

Do most personal injury cases in Texas go to trial?

No. The majority of Texas personal injury cases resolve through settlement rather than trial. Litigation is typically pursued only when liability or damages are seriously disputed.

Whether a case settles depends on medical evidence, fault analysis, and insurance evaluation. An attorney can help assess whether an offer reflects the documented injuries.

Can I file a lawsuit after a work injury in Texas?

Texas does not require most private employers to carry workers’ compensation insurance. Employees of non-subscribing employers may be able to pursue personal injury claims directly.

Even when workers’ compensation applies, third-party claims may still be possible in certain situations.

Because work injury rules in Texas are highly fact-specific, consulting a lawyer can help clarify available options.
