Do You Have a Personal Injury Case in Texas?

Understanding how personal injury laws work in Texas is key to building a strong claim. Here are some essential legal concepts to be aware of:

Statute of Limitations

In Texas, you generally have two years from the date of the injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. This deadline is critical—if you miss it, you may forfeit your right to compensation. There are exceptions, but it’s important to consult with a knowledgeable attorney as soon as possible.

Modified Comparative Fault Rule

Texas follows a modified comparative fault system. This means if you are found partially at fault for your injury, your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault. However, if you are more than 50% at fault, you cannot recover any compensation.

In Texas, you must prove all of the following elements to have grounds for a personal injury case:

• Another person/party owed you a duty of care
• That duty of care was breached
• This breach was the cause of your injuries
• You suffered damages

So, if another driver breached the duty of care by tailgating, but this did not result in an accident, you do not have a case. If, however, that driver rear-ended you and you suffered whiplash, you have the right to seek compensation for your medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages.

What Are Damages?

A personal injury can have devastating effects on your life—physically, emotionally, and financially. At Scott Law Firm, we fight to ensure you receive full compensation for all your losses, which may include:

Economic Damages

• Medical expenses (hospital bills, surgery, rehab, prescriptions)
• Lost wages and future earning capacity
• Property damage (such as vehicle repairs)
• Costs for long-term care or necessary accommodations

Non-Economic Damages

• Pain and suffering
• Emotional distress
• Loss of enjoyment of life
• Disfigurement or physical impairment

Punitive Damages

In cases involving gross negligence or intentional harm, you may also be awarded punitive damages. These are designed to punish the wrongdoer and deter future misconduct.

Additionally, in the event that a person is wrongfully killed in Texas, certain eligible family members may file a wrongful death claim and seek compensation for damages such as funeral/burial expenses, lost income, lost care, the value of household/childcare services, and loss of love, companionship, comfort, support, guidance, society, etc.

Personal Injury FAQs

How do I know if I have a personal injury claim?

If you were hurt due to someone else's negligence or wrongful act, you may have a claim. A free consultation with one of our attorneys can help you understand your legal options.

What if I was partially at fault for the accident?

You may still be able to recover compensation under Texas’ modified comparative fault rule. As long as you were less than 51% at fault, your damages can be reduced based on your share of responsibility.

How much is my personal injury case worth?

There’s no fixed formula. The value depends on factors such as the severity of your injuries, medical costs, lost income, and how your life has been impacted. We carefully evaluate all aspects of your case to determine a fair value.

Will I have to go to court?

Many personal injury cases settle out of court. However, if a fair settlement cannot be reached, we are fully prepared to take your case to trial.

How long will my case take?

The timeline varies depending on the complexity of your case, whether liability is disputed, and how willing the insurance company is to negotiate. Some cases resolve in a few months; others may take over a year.

How much does it cost to hire a personal injury lawyer?

At Scott Law Firm, we work on a contingency fee basis—you pay nothing upfront. We only get paid if we win your case.
