Texas Personal Injury Laws
Statute of Limitations
In Texas, you generally have two years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. Missing this deadline could mean losing your right to recover compensation.
Comparative Negligence Rule
Texas follows a modified comparative negligence system. This means you can still recover damages if you were partially at fault for your accident, as long as you were less than 51% responsible. However, your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault.
Recovering Compensation
The financial and emotional burden of an injury can be overwhelming. At Hilliard Law, we pursue every available avenue to help our clients recover full and fair compensation. Depending on the circumstances of your case, compensation may include:
- Medical Expenses: Coverage for hospital stays, surgeries, medications, rehabilitation, and ongoing treatment needs.
- Lost Wages & Reduced Earning Capacity: Recovery for time missed from work and, if your injury impacts your future ability to earn a living, compensation for diminished earning capacity.
- Pain and Suffering: Financial acknowledgment of the physical pain, emotional trauma, and diminished quality of life caused by your injuries.
- Property Damage: Compensation for repairs or replacement of damaged property, such as your vehicle in a car accident.
- Wrongful Death Damages: If you lost a loved one due to negligence, surviving family members may recover funeral expenses, loss of companionship, and financial support.
Our attorneys carefully investigate every claim, gather evidence, consult with experts, and negotiate aggressively with insurance companies. If the insurer refuses to make a fair offer, we are fully prepared to take your case to court.
