Texas Personal Injury Laws

In Texas, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is generally two years from the date of the accident. If you fail to file a lawsuit within this window, you may be barred from recovering any compensation. There are very few exceptions to this rule, making it critical to contact an attorney immediately.

Texas follows a "proportionate responsibility" rule. This means that if you are partially at fault for the accident, your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault. However, if you are found to be more than 50% responsible, you are barred from recovering any damages at all. We work tirelessly to gather evidence that minimizes your liability and maximizes your recovery.

Common Types of Injuries

Personal injury cases often involve devastating physical and emotional harm. At Scott Law Firm, we represent clients who have suffered injuries such as:

• Broken bones and fractures
• Neck and back injuries
• Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
• Spinal cord damage and paralysis
• Burns and disfigurement
• Internal injuries and organ damage
• Whiplash and soft tissue injuries
• Amputations
• Psychological trauma, including PTSD

Injuries like these can lead to long-term medical treatment, lost income, and significant pain and suffering. Our goal is to help you recover compensation that truly reflects the full extent of your damages — not just your immediate expenses.

Recovering Compensation

Texas law allows injured victims to seek compensation when another party’s negligence caused their injuries. The amount you may recover depends on the facts of your case, but compensation generally includes:

• Medical expenses: Hospital bills, rehabilitation, prescriptions, surgeries, and future medical care.
• Lost wages: Income lost due to your inability to work after the accident.
• Loss of earning capacity: If your injuries limit your ability to earn income in the future.
• Pain and suffering: Physical pain and emotional distress resulting from your injury.
• Property damage: Costs of repairing or replacing damaged property, such as your vehicle.
• Loss of consortium: Compensation for the impact of your injuries on your relationship with your spouse or family.

In some cases, punitive damages may be awarded to punish especially reckless or intentional misconduct.

It’s important to note that under Texas’s modified comparative negligence rule, your compensation may be reduced if you are found partially at fault for the accident. However, as long as you are less than 51% responsible, you can still recover damages.

Our experienced personal injury lawyers in The Woodlands will thoroughly investigate your case, identify all liable parties, and fight for every dollar you deserve.

Personal Injury FAQs

What should I do after an accident?

Seek medical attention immediately, even if you feel fine. Report the accident to the proper authorities, document the scene with photos, and avoid speaking with insurance adjusters before consulting an attorney.

Do I need a lawyer for my personal injury case?

While it’s possible to handle minor claims on your own, serious injuries and disputed liability cases require skilled legal representation to ensure you receive fair compensation.

How much is my case worth?

Every case is unique. The value depends on your medical expenses, lost income, the severity of your injuries, and other factors. Our attorneys can evaluate your case and give you a clearer picture of what to expect.

How much does it cost to hire Scott Law Firm?

We work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing upfront — and no attorney’s fees unless we win your case.
