Car Accidents in Texas
Motor vehicle accidents occur approximately every two minutes in Texas, leading to hundreds of thousands of crashes each year. These accidents send many individuals to hospitals with serious injuries, some of which have lasting consequences. Common injuries include internal organ damage, spinal cord injuries, and traumatic brain injuries, often requiring extensive medical treatment and long-term care.
Many of these accidents are caused by the negligence of other drivers. For victims, the option to pursue a personal injury claim offers a path to seek compensation for their losses. In Texas, the legal framework of comparative negligence plays a critical role in determining how compensation is awarded. Under the state’s modified comparative negligence rule, also known as the 51% rule, an injured party can recover damages only if they are found to be less than 51% at fault for the accident. However, if their fault is determined to be 51% or more, they are barred from receiving compensation.
This legal standard makes it essential to have strong representation when filing a claim. An experienced Bexar County car accident lawyer can help establish your case, demonstrate the negligence of the other party, and minimize any potential assignment of fault to you. By building a solid case, your attorney can work to maximize compensation for your medical bills, lost wages, vehicle repairs, and other damages.
