When you have a knowledgeable advocate, your attorney will work with you to put together the strongest claim possible so you can hold those who hurt you accountable.
Taking Legal Action After a Car Accident
In Texas, you have two years to file a car accident claim under the statute of limitations established in Texas Code Section 16.003.
In order for your case to be successful, you must show the other driver was at least 51% to blame for the accident. This is because Texas follows a modified comparative fault rule under Texas Code Section 33.001. Under a modified comparative fault rule, you can recover partial damages from another driver even if you share the blame for the crash — but not if the incident was mostly your fault.
A Converse motor vehicle accident lawyer can help you show how the other driver’s actions on the road contributed to causing the accident, and why they should be made to pay you damages. If you can successfully make a strong case, the at-fault driver’s insurance company may offer you a settlement so you can get compensated without a trial — or you’ll be able to convince the court to find in your favor and award you damages.
