Texas Personal Injury Laws
Texas follows an "at-fault" system, meaning that the party responsible for the accident (or their insurance) is generally responsible for compensating the injured party. Personal injury cases often hinge on establishing the negligence or fault of the party responsible for the injury.
To succeed in a personal injury claim, you typically need to prove the following elements:
- Duty of Care: The defendant owed you a duty of care (a legal obligation to avoid causing harm).
- Breach of Duty: The defendant breached their duty of care through their actions or inactions.
- Causation: The defendant's breach of duty was the direct cause of your injuries.
- Damages: You suffered actual damages as a result of the defendant's actions.
Texas also follows a modified comparative negligence rule, which means that if you are partially at fault for the accident that caused your injury, your compensation may be reduced in proportion to your degree of fault. If you are found to be more than 50% at fault, you may not recover any damages.
Generally, you have two years from the date of the injury to file a lawsuit. There are some exceptions, so it's important to consult with an attorney to ensure you meet all deadlines.
Compensation Available to Injured Victims
The value of your personal injury claim depends on several factors, including the severity of your injury, the circumstances of the accident, and the available insurance coverage. At the Law Offices Of Vic Feazell, P.C., we fight to help our clients recover maximum compensation, which may include:
Economic Damages
These are measurable financial losses, such as:
- Medical expenses (past and future)
- Rehabilitation costs
- Lost income and lost earning capacity
- Property damage
- Out-of-pocket expenses (e.g., transportation, medications)
Non-Economic Damages
These damages reflect the emotional and psychological impact of your injury:
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Loss of companionship or consortium
Punitive Damages
In cases involving gross negligence or intentional misconduct, Texas courts may award punitive damages to punish the wrongdoer and deter similar conduct in the future.
Personal Injury FAQs
How much is my personal injury case worth?
There’s no one-size-fits-all answer. Your compensation depends on factors like medical bills, lost wages, the severity of your injury, and how the injury impacts your daily life. An experienced Austin personal injury lawyer at Law Offices Of Vic Feazell, P.C. can assess your case and provide a more accurate estimate.
What should I do after an accident?
Seek medical attention immediately, even if your injuries seem minor. Then, try to gather evidence—such as photos, witness contact info, and accident reports. Avoid giving recorded statements to insurance adjusters before speaking with an attorney.
Do I have to go to court?
Most personal injury cases in Texas settle out of court. However, if the insurance company refuses to offer fair compensation, our attorneys are fully prepared to take your case to trial.
How much does it cost to hire a personal injury lawyer?
At Law Offices Of Vic Feazell, P.C., we work on a contingency fee basis—which means you don’t pay any legal fees unless we win your case. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain by scheduling a free consultation.
Can I still recover compensation if I was partially at fault?
Yes, as long as you were less than 51% at fault. Your total compensation will be reduced in proportion to your percentage of fault.
