Auto Accidents in Texas
Every year, tens of thousands of people suffer severe and life-altering injuries as a result of vehicle collisions in Texas. Quite often, the crashes that are reported are preventable. Innocent people continue to suffer harm in accidents as a result of negligent drivers who are speeding, impaired, or otherwise reckless.
After being hurt in a crash, you have the ability to seek compensation by filing a personal injury claim. This type of legal action can provide you with financial relief for some of the losses and expenses you face. It is important that you understand your legal rights and that you are aware of some of the common myths surrounding automobile collisions in Texas.
Common Myths Surrounding Car Crashes in Texas
You Don’t Need a Lawyer: While it’s feasible to manage a car accident claim independently, having a seasoned personal injury attorney can significantly improve the likelihood of obtaining full and fair compensation.
The At-Fault Party Will Cover Expenses Out of Pocket: In Texas, the majority of car accident claims are covered by insurance policies. Typically, the responsible party’s insurance company covers damages up to their policy limits. However, if their coverage is insufficient or nonexistent, pursuing a lawsuit against them directly may be necessary.
You Only Have One Year to File a Claim: Contrary to popular belief, the statute of limitations for filing a car accident lawsuit in Texas is generally two years from the incident date. It is essential not to wait, as the process of gathering evidence and constructing your case requires adequate time. You should seek legal representation from a car accident lawyer as soon as possible to give yourself the best chance of getting justice.
