Frequently Asked Questions
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Texas?
Texas’s statute of limitations for personal injury is two years from the date of injury under Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code §16.003. Claims against government entities require a formal notice of claim within six months. If you delay past the deadline, you permanently lose the right to sue regardless of how strong your case is. Consulting a Houston attorney promptly after any accident preserves all your options.
What happens if I get a traffic ticket in Harris County?
You have several options: pay the fine (an admission of guilt that adds points to your license), request a driving safety course (available once every 12 months to mask the violation), or contest the ticket. An attorney can often negotiate with the prosecutor to reduce or dismiss the charge before it affects your driving record or insurance rates — particularly for moving violations on Houston’s major corridors.
Does Texas require me to use my own insurance first after a car accident?
Texas is a fault-based state, not a no-fault state. After an accident, you can file a claim with your own insurance (if you carry collision or PIP coverage), file a third-party claim with the at-fault driver’s insurance, or file a lawsuit against the at-fault driver. Texas does not require personal injury protection, but it must be offered — drivers can reject it in writing. An attorney helps you identify all available sources of recovery.
