All personal injury claims in Texas require proving four elements, that the defendant owed a duty of care to the plaintiff, that the defendant breached that duty, that the breach caused the plaintiff injuries, and that the plaintiff suffered actual damages as a result. The specific duty of care varies depending on the type of case, but the fundamental framework applies across all personal injury claims. Strong cases combine compelling liability evidence with thorough documentation of all damages including medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code Section 16.003 establishes a two year statute of limitations for personal injury claims, making timely filing essential. Texas follows a modified comparative fault system under Chapter 33, barring recovery when the plaintiff is more than 50 percent responsible for their injuries. Texas does not cap actual damages in most personal injury cases, though exemplary damages are capped under Section 41.008 at the greater of $200,000 or two times economic damages plus an amount equal to noneconomic damages up to $750,000.

A car accident lawsuit begins when a lawyer gathers the evidence, calculates your damages, and sends a demand package to the at-fault driver's insurance company. Most cases resolve during that negotiation stage. If the insurer will not offer a fair settlement, your lawyer files the formal lawsuit in court and the case enters the discovery phase. Under Texas law you generally have two years from the date of the accident to file.
The main steps are getting medical treatment until your injuries stabilize, investigating the accident and gathering evidence, sending the demand package to the insurer, negotiating the settlement, and, if there is no fair offer, filing the lawsuit in court. Most cases end in a settlement before trial. A lawyer guides you through every step so you do not face the insurance company alone.
In most cases, no. The large majority of car accident lawsuits in Texas resolve through a settlement without reaching trial. Filing the lawsuit often pressures the insurer to offer a fair amount. If your case does go to trial, your lawyer prepares you and represents you before the jury.
Under Section 16.003 of the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code, you generally have two years from the date of the accident. If you let that deadline pass, the court will almost always dismiss the case. Some situations change the deadline, such as when the injured person is a minor or the responsible party is a government entity. Speak with a lawyer early so you do not lose your right.
The law does not require you to have a lawyer, but insurance companies have teams whose job is to pay you as little as possible. A lawyer calculates the true value of your case, handles all communication with the insurer, and is ready to take the case to trial if needed. In cases with serious injuries, having representation usually means a much larger recovery.
At Medina & Medina we work on a contingency fee. You pay nothing up front, and we charge no fee unless we win your case. We advance the costs of the lawsuit and the consultation is free. We speak Spanish. Call us at (512) 500-2810.
