Common Causes of Car Accidents Resulting from Negligence

When a car accident results from negligence and causes a wrongful injury, the victim may be entitled to compensation in a lawsuit. Below are some common causes of collisions leading to car accident claims:

Speeding
Tailgating
Failure to yield
Distracted driving
Unsafe lane changes
Reckless driving and road rage
Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol

How Long Do I Have to File a Car Accident Claim?

In Texas, the statute of limitations for car accident claims is generally two years from the date of the accident. We can help you file a claim correctly and on time to maintain eligibility for damages and navigate the claims process with care and efficiency.

What Are Common Injuries Leading to Car Accident Claims?

Car accidents can cause a wide range of serious injuries, including whiplash and neck injuries, back and spinal cord injuries, concussions and traumatic brain injuries (TBI), broken bones and fractures, internal bleeding and organ damage, and burn injuries.

No matter the severity of your injuries, partnering with a knowledgeable attorney is critical to understanding your rights and recovering a comprehensive settlement. We can guide you through the claims process and pursue the compensation you need to focus on your recovery.

Who Is Liable for a Car Accident?

Various parties may be liable for damages in a car accident claim, such as:

The at-fault motorist. Other motorists are often liable for injuries when their negligence contributes to the crash, such as running a red light.
The vehicle owner. If another party owns the other car, the owner of the vehicle may share liability for damages.
Employers. If the crash involved a commercial vehicle, rideshare company, or delivery service, the driver’s employer may be responsible.
Manufacturers or maintenance crews. If a faulty part or negligent maintenance caused the crash, the manufacturer or maintenance company may be liable.

The plaintiff bears the burden of proof in car accident claims, making it crucial to have a trusted injury lawyer on your side. Our attorneys can help you identify responsible parties and gather evidence to prove liability by a preponderance of the evidence.

What Compensation Is Available in a Car Accident Claim?

There are two primary types of recoverable damages in a car accident claim:

Economic Damages

Economic damages compensate the victim for direct financial losses, such as medical bills, lost income and earning capacity, current and future treatment costs, and property damage.

Non-Economic Damages

Non-economic damages compensate the victim for indirect losses, such as emotional distress, pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, psychological trauma, and permanent scarring or disfigurement.

I Was in a T-Bone Collision on I-45. Can I Seek Punitive Damages?

Punitive damages are only awarded in car accidents involving extreme negligence or egregious misconduct. Unlike other damages that compensate the victim directly, punitive damages are solely intended to punish the defendant and deter similar behavior in the future.

If you were injured in a T-bone collision on I-45, our attorneys can thoroughly investigate the circumstances of the accident, calculate all potential damages, communicate with insurance companies, and aggressively negotiate or litigate on your behalf to maximize your recovery.

I Suffered a TBI in a Car Crash on Beltway 8. Can I Recover Damages if I Was Partially At Fault?

Yes, it’s possible to recover damages even if you are partially at fault for the car accident. Texas follows a modified comparative negligence system, which allows plaintiffs to seek compensation as long as their share of the liability is less than 51%.

However, any compensation awarded will be reduced proportionally. For example, if you are found to be 20% at fault for a claim totaling $10,000 in damages, you may only recover $8,000 ($2,000 less than the original value).

Unfortunately, insurance companies have a reputation for placing undue blame on victims in an effort to deny or minimize payouts. Our lawyers are familiar with these tactics to aggressively protect your rights and provide clear, convincing evidence of liability.

Do I Need a Car Accident Lawyer?

Navigating the legal complexities of a car accident claim can be overwhelming, especially while recovering from a serious injury. Securing legal representation can mean the difference between recovering a full settlement and walking away empty-handed.

Below are some important reasons to contact our experienced car accident attorneys:

Navigating the claims process. We have a deep understanding of Texas law to guide you through the legal complexities of your case and avoid costly procedural errors that may lead to a dismissal or delays.
Building a strong case. Our firm leaves no stone unturned in our investigations. We have a vast network of contacts and resources to support your claim with expert statements and other compelling evidence.
Maximizing compensation. We can calculate the full extent of damages to maximize recoverable compensation and pursue a settlement that covers all your current and future care needs.
Dealing with insurance companies. Insurers often use underhanded tactics to delay payments and blame victims. We can communicate and negotiate effectively with insurance companies to uphold your rights.
Trial representation. Our skilled litigators can represent you in litigation if necessary to achieve a favorable resolution. We prepare every case for trial to pursue the best possible outcomes for our clients.

If you were wrongfully injured in a car crash, don’t wait to seek justice. Call (888) 495-3339 to schedule a free consultation with our injury lawyers.
