Texas Car Wreck Injury Attorneys

Searching for a car wreck lawyer?

You have probably seen tons of ads by now that state:

Your attorney is only a phone call (or text message) away. Call 844-CAR-WREX today to see if your case qualifies or complete our quick and easy case review form.

CASE REVIEW

Car Accident Law in Texas

In 2020, according to data from the Texas Department of Transportation, 1 reportable crash occurred every 1 minute and 7 seconds on Texas roads; 1 person was injured every 2 minutes and 34 seconds, and 1 person was killed every 2 hours and 15 minutes.

Texas is an at-fault state which means that the person responsible for an accident is liable for paying for damages they caused.

Texas law allows injured accident victims to sue the liable parties involved to recoup their losses. "Damages" may include property damage and bodily injuries.

Minimum Insurance Requirements in Texas

Under Texas law, motorists are required to maintain a minimum liability insurance policy in case they cause an accident. As of 2023, those minimums are:

  • up to $25,000 for Property Damage
  • up to $30,000 for Bodily Injury, per person
  • a maximum cap of $60,000 for all Bodily Injury payouts, per accident

Insurance companies may list policy limits in this format on insurance cards or other documents:

  • 30/60/25
  • $30K / $60K BI, $25K PD
  • $25K, $30K/60K

Texas is a First-Come, First-Served State

If there are more than two claimants in an accident, you could be in a situation where two people exhaust the bodily injury cap before anyone else which leaves nothing for the other claimants.

This is one of many reasons why it is important to hire an attorney as soon as possible after an accident. Our attorneys are aggressive and act with urgency to ensure you get the maximum payout possible in situations like these. Call 844-CAR-WREX today!

Why is Liability Insurance Important?

The purpose of liability insurance is to protect your personal assets from financial liability.

So, if you are sued by someone for causing an accident, your insurance company will represent you or pay for damages up to the policy limits you purchased instead of you paying out of pocket for the damages you caused.

What Happens if the At-Fault Driver Did Not Have Insurance?

If an at-fault motorist does not have liability insurance, they can be personally held liable for damages. This means an insurance company won't be paying for damages or lawyers to represent them if they are sued. They will be subject to any citations, fines, penalties, or judgments arising from their negligence in a car accident.

If you're in a car crash with someone who was not insured at the time, it is possible that you may not recoup your losses.

Typically, if someone cannot afford liability insurance, they likely won't be able to afford to pay for your damages. Additionally, they probably don't have any assets worth pursuing but you still have the legal right to take them to court under Texas law.

When you hire our firm, we thoroughly investigate all options of recovery for you. And if we can't find any insurance to pursue, you won't owe us anything. Call to learn more.

Using Your Insurance After a Car Accident

Is it fair to have to use your own insurance when someone else is at fault? Absolutely not. But consider the situation you could be in without it.

We recommend that you have as much Collision, Personal Injury Protection, and Uninsured/Under-Insured Motorist coverage on your policies that you can afford.

Without collision coverage, your car won't be fixed or replaced. No PIP or UM/UIM means you could be paying out of pocket for any treatment costs you incurred in addition to any lost time from work.

Collision will help pay for your property damage or a possible replacement if your car has been totaled. PIP will pay out regardless of who is at fault, and Uninsured/Under-Insured Motorist coverage will pay if the at-fault driver was not insured or their policy limits were not enough to cover your bodily injuries.

How long does it take for injuries to appear after a car accident?

Many symptoms and injuries can start to appear almost immediately after a collision. You may need immediate medical attention if you experience any of the following symptoms:

  • Chest pain that endures for at least two minutes
  • Shortness of breath or trouble breathing
  • Severe or sudden pain
  • Sudden weakness or dizziness
  • Sudden change in vision
  • Uncontrolled bleeding
  • Vomiting or coughing blood
  • Change in mental status

Other injuries can be delayed by hours, days, or even weeks. Every person is different, which is why you should never ignore the pain and you should always be checked out by a medical professional after an accident.

Not sure where to begin?

That's understandable. There's a ton of information, rules, and laws to know - especially if you're trying to handle your case on your own. Google is a great resource but it won't make you a lawyer. In truth, that's the best reason to hire our law firm.

Our lawyers are trained and knowledgeable on the rules, laws, and legal proceedings regarding car wrecks and personal injury. They have spent years earning their Juris Doctorates and honed their skills serving thousands of injured victims throughout Texas.

Honestly, some insurance companies just won't budge until you hire a lawyer. So call us at 844-CAR-WREX or send us a text message. It would be our absolute pleasure to serve you.

don't speak to the insurance company

protect your rights and speak with an attorney first

Insurance companies don't care if you get better or if your damages ever get paid for. They will say and do anything to avoid paying you what you deserve!
