Frequently Asked Questions About Car Accidents In Houston
How long do I have to file a car accident claim in Texas?
In most cases, Texas law provides two years from the date of a car accident to file a personal injury or wrongful death claim. Certain situations, such as accidents involving government vehicles or agencies, may involve shorter deadlines. Speaking with a car accident attorney as soon as possible can help protect your rights and preserve important evidence.
What if the other driver does not have insurance?
If the at-fault driver is uninsured or underinsured, you may still have options for recovery. Compensation may be available through your own uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage, depending on your policy. An attorney can review your insurance coverage and help determine what options may be available in your specific situation.
Should I talk to the insurance company after a car accident?
Insurance companies often contact accident victims quickly and may request recorded statements or offer early settlements. While you may be required to notify your own insurer, it is generally best to speak with a car accident lawyer before providing detailed statements or accepting any settlement offers, as early offers may not reflect the full value of your claim.
What if I was partially at fault for the car accident?
Texas follows a modified comparative fault rule. This means you may still be able to recover compensation if you were partially at fault, as long as you were not more than 50% responsible for the accident. However, your compensation may be reduced based on your percentage of fault. An attorney can help evaluate how fault may affect your claim.
What types of compensation are available after a car accident?
Depending on the circumstances, compensation may include medical expenses, lost wages, future medical care, pain and suffering, property damage, and loss of earning capacity. In cases involving fatal accidents, surviving family members may be eligible to pursue wrongful death compensation. Each case is unique, and an attorney can help assess what damages may apply.
