Personal Injury Attorneys in Texas

Texas has its own modified comparative fault threshold and specific rules that make choosing the right attorney especially important.

Texas uses a 51% modified comparative fault rule

In Texas, you generally cannot recover compensation if you're found more than fifty percent at fault for the accident. Below that threshold, your recovery is reduced proportionally to your share of fault. This makes a clear fault investigation especially important.

Deadlines in Texas

Texas generally applies a statute of limitations measured in a couple of years from the date of injury for most personal injury claims, with some exceptions that can shorten or extend this window depending on the circumstances.

What to look for in a Texas attorney

Texas has both large metro-area firms and smaller regional practices; look for someone with specific experience in your type of accident and familiarity with the courts in your county.

How to vet a Texas personal injury attorney

Verify licensing through the State Bar of Texas's online attorney directory, ask for references or case examples relevant to your situation, and get the contingency fee percentage in writing.
