What Causes Most Car Accidents in Texas?
Most car accidents occur because a driver failed to act with reasonable care under the circumstances. Negligent behavior behind the wheel puts everyone at risk — and it remains one of the leading causes of preventable injuries in Texas.
Common Causes of Car Accidents
- Distracted driving (texting, phone use, eating)
- Speeding or aggressive driving
- Drunk or impaired driving
- Fatigued driving
- Unsafe lane changes
- Running red lights or stop signs
- Poor weather or road conditions
- Defective vehicle parts
If you believe another driver’s negligence caused your crash, it’s essential to speak with a Dallas car accident attorney as soon as possible to preserve evidence and protect your rights.
What Types of Injuries Occur in Car Accidents?
Car accidents can cause injuries ranging from mild whiplash to life-altering trauma. Even seemingly minor collisions can lead to lasting pain and mobility issues.
Common car accident injuries include:
- Whiplash and neck injuries
- Concussions and traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
- Back and shoulder injuries
- Bone fractures and dislocations
- Internal organ damage
- Facial or dental trauma
- Severe burns or lacerations
- Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
These injuries often require extensive medical treatment, time away from work, and long-term rehabilitation. Our attorneys can help you calculate the full cost of your losses and pursue every dollar you deserve.
How Do You File an Insurance Claim After a Car Accident?
To recover compensation after a car accident, you’ll typically start by filing a claim with the at-fault driver’s insurance company. If the driver is uninsured or underinsured, your own policy’s uninsured motorist coverage may apply.
The Insurance Claim Process
- File a claim with the negligent driver’s insurance company.
- Provide documentation, including medical records, accident reports, and photos.
- Wait for an evaluation from the insurance adjuster.
- Negotiate a settlement offer (with your attorney’s help).
- Pursue a lawsuit if the insurance company refuses fair compensation.
Insurance companies often undervalue claims or pressure victims to settle quickly. Having an attorney ensures your rights are protected throughout the process.
What Damages Can You Recover in a Car Accident Claim?
Car accident victims in Texas may be entitled to compensation for both economic and non-economic damages.
You may recover compensation for:
- Past and future medical expenses
- Lost income and reduced earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Property damage and vehicle repair
- Disability or disfigurement
- Emotional distress and mental anguish
Your attorney can help you identify every available source of recovery to maximize your compensation.
How Long Do You Have to File a Car Accident Lawsuit in Texas?
In Texas, the statute of limitations for most car accident lawsuits is two years from the date of the crash. Filing after this deadline can permanently bar your claim.
Consulting an attorney as soon as possible allows time to investigate, gather evidence, and file within the legal time limits.
How Long Does It Take to Settle a Car Accident Claim?
The time it takes to settle a car accident claim in Dallas depends on the complexity of your case. Straightforward claims can be resolved within a few months, but serious injury cases or disputes over liability may take longer.
Factors that affect settlement time include:
- Severity of injuries
- Amount of medical treatment required
- Insurance company response
- Whether litigation becomes necessary
Your attorney can provide a clearer estimate once they review your case details.
