How long do I have to file a car accident lawsuit in Texas?

In most cases, Texas law allows two years from the date of the crash to file a personal injury lawsuit. Speaking with a lawyer early helps preserve evidence and protect your claim.

What if I was partially at fault for the crash?

Texas follows a modified comparative fault rule. If you are 50% or less responsible, you may still recover compensation, but the amount can be reduced by your percentage of fault.

What damages can I recover after a Texas car accident?

Depending on the case, you may recover medical expenses, future care costs, lost wages, reduced earning capacity, pain and suffering, mental anguish, and property damage.

What if the other driver is uninsured or underinsured?

You may still have options, including uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage and other potential sources of recovery depending on the facts of the crash.

How much does it cost to hire a Texas car accident lawyer?

There are no upfront legal fees. Car accident cases are typically handled on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing unless compensation is recovered.

We Win Or You Don’t Pay!

Types of Car Accident Cases We Handle

Every crash is different, but the goal is always the same: prove fault, document damages, and pursue full compensation.

We handle claims involving:

Rear-end collisions
Intersection and T-bone accidents
Head-on crashes
Multi-vehicle pileups
Hit-and-run collisions
Uninsured and underinsured driver claims
Distracted driving crashes
Impaired driving crashes
Commercial vehicle-related crashes

If your crash involved a rideshare, delivery vehicle, or a commercial driver, liability can get more complex. We investigate aggressively to identify every responsible party.

Compensation You May Be Entitled To

A car accident claim should reflect the full impact of what happened—not just the first hospital bill.

Depending on the case, compensation may include:

Emergency care and ongoing treatment
Future medical needs
Physical therapy and rehabilitation
Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
Pain and suffering
Mental anguish and emotional distress
Property damage
Wrongful death damages (when a loved one is lost)

We build damages using medical documentation, wage records, and (when needed) experts who can explain future costs.

Frequently Asked Car Accident Questions

At Wayne Wright, we understand that you have concerns when dealing with a personal injury case. Our team of experienced attorneys is here to guide you through the process and answer your most pressing questions. Below, you’ll find answers to common queries we receive from clients just like you.

How long do I have to file a car accident claim in Texas?

In most cases, Texas allows two years from the date of the crash to file a lawsuit. The safest move is to talk to a lawyer early so evidence is preserved.

What if I was partially at fault?

Texas uses a modified comparative fault system. If you’re 50% or less at fault, you may still recover damages (reduced by your percentage of fault).

Do I need a lawyer if the crash seems minor?

Often, yes. “Minor” crashes can lead to delayed symptoms, treatment costs, and insurance disputes.

What if the other driver doesn’t have insurance?

There may still be options, including uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage and other liable parties depending on the facts.

How much is my Texas car accident case worth?

It depends on injury severity, treatment needs, lost income, and how the crash affects your life long-term.

Should I accept the insurance company’s first offer?

Usually not. Early offers often undervalue future care, missed work, and pain and suffering.

Will I have to go to court?

Many cases settle, but we prepare each case like it may go to court so you’re not negotiating from weakness.

What if I didn’t go to the hospital right away?

You can still have a valid claim. What matters is getting evaluated and documenting symptoms as soon as possible.

Can I recover damages for pain and suffering?

Yes—depending on the case, Texas law allows recovery for non-economic damages like pain, suffering, and mental anguish.

How much does it cost to hire you?

No upfront cost. You pay nothing unless we win.
