Common Challenges in Auto Accident Cases
& How We Overcome Them
Insurance Companies That Lowball Settlements
Insurers minimize your injuries to avoid paying full compensation. We work with medical experts to document the full extent of your damages and negotiate aggressively for every dollar you deserve.
Commercial & Company-Owned Vehicle Accidents
When a company car or rideshare (Uber, Lyft) is involved, corporate insurers will fight to reduce liability. We hold businesses accountable for negligent drivers.
Proving Fault & Liability
Texas follows comparative negligence laws, meaning the other side will try to blame you. We gather dashcam footage, eyewitness testimony, and expert reports to prove fault and protect your claim.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who is responsible for my damages after a car accident?
Liability depends on who caused the crash. In Texas, responsibility can fall on:
• Another driver (if they were reckless, distracted, or intoxicated).
• Commercial vehicle operators (if a company-owned vehicle caused the crash).
• Government agencies (for road hazards, faulty traffic signals, or unsafe highway conditions).
π Texas follows a modified comparative negligence rule—even if you were partially at fault, you may still recover damages.
What types of compensation can I recover?
Car accident victims may be entitled to:
• Medical expenses (current & future)
• Lost wages & reduced earning capacity
• Pain & suffering
• Vehicle repairs & property damage
π In Texas, there is no cap on damages in personal injury auto accident cases, meaning we fight for the full amount you deserve.
How long do I have to file an auto accident claim in Texas?
Under Texas law, you have:
• 2 years from the crash date to file a personal injury claim.
• 2 years from the victim’s passing for wrongful death cases.
π Acting fast is critical—evidence disappears, witnesses move, and insurance companies build their defense.
Do I need a lawyer if the insurance company offers me a settlement?
Yes. Insurance companies offer quick settlements to minimize payouts, hoping you’ll accept before realizing the full extent of your injuries. We evaluate your claim and negotiate for the compensation you truly deserve.
