Texas personal injury law operates under a modified comparative fault system, meaning you can recover damages even if you're partially at fault – as long as you're 50% or less responsible for the accident. This makes it crucial to work with an experienced attorney who can minimize your assigned fault percentage and maximize your compensation.

The statute of limitations for most personal injury cases in Texas is 2 years from the date of injury. This applies to car accidents, truck collisions, slip and fall incidents, and medical malpractice claims. Missing this deadline typically means losing your right to pursue compensation, regardless of how strong your case may be.

Car, Motorcycle & Truck Accidents

Texas sees some of the highest accident rates in the nation, particularly along major interstates like I-35, I-45, I-10, and I-20. Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, and Austin consistently report the most traffic fatalities and serious injury accidents. With over 29 million residents and growing urban sprawl, personal injury cases involving commercial trucks, distracted drivers, and highway collisions continue to rise across the state. Truck accident settlements often exceed $1 million due to severe injuries and clear liability.

Slip & Fall and Premises Liability

Property owners in Texas have a legal duty to maintain safe conditions for visitors. Slip and fall accidents in grocery stores, restaurants, shopping malls, and apartment complexes can result in serious injuries including broken bones, head trauma, and spinal damage. Texas law requires proving the property owner knew or should have known about the hazardous condition. Our network attorneys have successfully recovered compensation for clients injured on unsafe premises throughout the state.

Workplace Injuries

Texas workers injured on the job may be entitled to workers' compensation benefits or, in cases involving third-party negligence, personal injury claims. Construction accidents, oil field injuries, and industrial workplace incidents are common in Texas due to the state's robust energy and construction sectors. If your employer doesn't carry workers' comp insurance or a third party caused your injury, you may have additional legal options beyond standard workers' compensation.

Medical Malpractice

Medical malpractice cases in Texas require proving that a healthcare provider deviated from accepted standards of care, resulting in injury or death. These cases involve surgical errors, misdiagnosis, medication mistakes, and birth injuries. Texas has specific procedural requirements including expert reports that must be filed early in the case. Our network includes attorneys experienced in navigating Texas medical malpractice law and holding negligent healthcare providers accountable.

Dog Bites and Animal Attacks

Texas follows a "one bite rule" for dog bite cases, but owners can still be held liable under negligence principles if they knew or should have known their dog was dangerous. Dog attacks can cause severe physical injuries, scarring, and emotional trauma, particularly in children. Homeowner's insurance policies often cover dog bite claims, making it possible to recover compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

Wrongful Death Claims

When negligence results in a fatality, surviving family members in Texas can file wrongful death claims to recover damages for loss of companionship, funeral expenses, lost income, and mental anguish. Texas law limits who can file wrongful death claims to spouses, children, and parents of the deceased. These cases require compassionate yet aggressive legal representation to ensure families receive the justice and compensation they deserve during an incredibly difficult time.

Average personal injury settlements in Texas range from $15,000 for minor soft tissue injuries to over $500,000 for catastrophic cases involving permanent disability, traumatic brain injuries, or wrongful death. Our network of Texas attorneys has recovered millions in compensation for injured clients statewide.
