I Got Hurt In An Accident

What Are My Rights in Texas?

Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 16.003 generally gives individuals two years to file personal injury lawsuits in Texas. These cases can involve crashes, falls, dangerous property conditions, defective products, and other similar types of reckless, careless, or wrongful conduct.

Some common personal injury claims our office handles include the following:

Personal Injury

Personal injury claims stem from various types of incidents. If another person, business, or government entity caused your injuries, Texas law may allow you to recover damages.

Car Crashes

Car crashes can stem from negligent actions, including distracted driving, speeding, unsafe turns, rear-end collisions, or drunk driving.

Truck Accidents

Truck wrecks involving 18-wheelers, delivery vehicles, or commercial fleets can cause serious injuries with lifelong consequences.

Slip-and-Fall

Slip and fall claims are a type of premises liability claim that are tied to wet floors, poor lighting, uneven pavement, or unsafe store conditions.

Brain Injuries

Brain injury cases where a blow to the head from a falling object, work accident, or car accident causes lasting cognitive, physical, or emotional harm.

Wrongful Death

Wrongful death claims after a fatal crash or another deadly incident caused by negligence.

Common Causes of Injury Claims

Those examples help you identify the general type of claim, but the value of a case comes from the facts. A wreck may also involve negligent hiring, bad vehicle maintenance, poor safety policies, or multiple insurance layers. A fall may involve missing inspections, ignored complaints, or a dangerous condition that should have been fixed before you arrived.

Poor vehicle maintenance or defective manufactured parts

A dangerous condition like broken stairs or railings

Missing inspections or ignored customer complaints

What Should You Do After A Car Accident in League City, Texas?

After a truck or car accident, focus on your safety first. It is crucial to seek medical care as soon as possible, as adrenaline can sometimes mask the true extent of an injury. Prompt treatment serves as foundational evidence to substantiate a later personal injury claim.

Texas also imposes reporting duties depending on the crash. For instance, Tex. Transp. Code § 550.026 requires an immediate report when a collision results in injury, death, or vehicle damage that leaves a vehicle unable to be normally and safely driven. That rule is especially relevant in a city where major roads such as I-45, FM 518, FM 646, SH 3, and SH 96 carry steady local and regional traffic.

A few practical steps can protect both your recovery and your claim. While your circumstances may change the order of these steps, each one remains important to building and protecting your case.

Get Evaluated

See a doctor as soon as possible.

Report the Crash

Be sure to ask how to obtain the accident report. Avoid giving recorded statements.

Document Everything

Photograph the surrounding accident scene area, and visible injuries if you are able to do so.

Talk to Witnesses

Collect witness names and contact information.

Keep Detailed Records

Keep receipts, discharge paperwork, and follow-up records of visiting hospitals and doctor appointments.

What If The Insurance Company Blames You?

The legal term "proportionate responsibility" refers to how fault is divided among the parties involved. Insurance companies know how much they ride on that rule. An adjuster may say you stopped too suddenly, failed to see an open hazard, wore the wrong shoes, merged carelessly, or ignored a warning.

A serious case review tests those claims against the actual evidence instead of treating the carrier’s version as fact. Surveillance footage, photographs, vehicle damage, timing data, witness statements, and medical records often tell a more accurate story than the insurer's initial call.

Under Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 33.001, you generally cannot recover damages if your percentage of responsibility is greater than 50 percent.

If you are 50 percent or less responsible, your recovery may still be reduced by your share of fault.

What Damages Are Pursued in a Personal Injury Claim?

A fair claim should reflect the full effect of the injury on your life, not just the first stack of bills that lands in your mailbox.

Some losses are straightforward, such as ambulance charges or missed paychecks. Others take longer to understand, especially when pain limits your movement, interrupts sleep, affects family life, or changes your ability to earn a living.

Texas law defines noneconomic damages in Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 41.001 to include physical pain and suffering, mental or emotional pain or anguish, physical impairment, disfigurement, inconvenience, loss of enjoyment of life, injury to reputation, and other nonpecuniary losses.

That statutory definition matters when an insurer tries to reduce your case to a calculator exercise. Your injury may affect much more than your current treatment balance. The right measure depends on the evidence, the severity of the harm, and how the injury changes your day-to-day life going forward.

What Can Impact a League City Personal Injury Claim?

League City is the largest city in Galveston County, with a reported population of 118,740, and local officials continue to highlight mobility and traffic work around SH 3, FM 518, SH 96, Walker Street, and FM 646. Those details can affect visibility, congestion, turning movements, and the evidence available after a crash.

Accident Facts

According to TxDOT reports, League City had 1,593 total crashes in 2024. Galveston County recorded 6,667 crashes that same year, including 34 fatal crashes and 181 suspected serious injury crashes.

Statewide Statistics

TxDOT reports 4,150 traffic deaths statewide in 2024 and 14,905 serious injury crashes, with 18,218 people sustaining serious injuries.

Those figures do not decide fault in any individual case, though they do show how common severe injury claims remain across the state. A Galveston County injury claim should reflect not only the details related to an accident, but also incorporate the road design, traffic patterns, and development pressures that could have likely caused harm in an accident. 

Since each incident is unique, it requires the analysis from an experienced personal injury attorney to determine the best course of action.
