Understanding the Negligence Laws in Texas

In Texas, the courts follow a modified comparative negligence rule when dealing with a shared-fault personal injury case. This means that, even if you were partially to blame for causing the accident in which you were injured, you can still recover compensation; the award would simply be reduced by a percentage that is equal to your degree of fault.

For example, let’s say that you were rear-ended on the freeway. At the time of the accident, one of your tail lights was broken. During the trial, a jury decides that you are 20 percent responsible and that the other driver bears 80 percent of the blame. If the final award added up to $100,000, it would be reduced by 20 percent, leaving you with $80,000.

How Long Do I Have to File a Personal Injury Claim?

If you are interested in pursuing a personal injury lawsuit in Texas, it is important to understand that time is limited. All civil lawsuits are subject to the statute of limitations, which means that you will only have a few short years to file your case. More specifically, you will have two years from the date of your injury to file your lawsuit with the court. If you fail to take action before this deadline expires, you may be barred from recovering any level of compensation.
