Texas Car Accident Laws That May Impact Your Claim
There are several laws that may affect your Dallas motor vehicle accident claim.
First, Texas is an at-fault state for purposes of car accidents. That means that if another driver’s negligence causes your accident, you can seek compensation directly from that driver and their insurer rather than first filing a claim with your own insurer. This makes determining and proving fault essential to the success of your claim.
Additionally, Texas uses a modified comparative fault rule with a 51% bar to recovery. This means that if you are found to be 51% or more at fault for an accident, you cannot recover any compensation for your damages. If you are found to be less than 51% at fault, you can recover compensation, but it will be reduced by your percentage of fault.
The Texas statute of limitations for car accident claims is generally two years. This means that you must file your claim to recover compensation within two years of your accident. If you do not file timely, you will be unable to recover compensation. However, there are some exceptions to the two-year filing deadline. You may have a much shorter deadline, or you could have longer to file. You should promptly consult an experienced Dallas car accident lawyer to know how soon you must file your claim.
