Texas Injury Law: What Alice Residents Need to Know
Texas law sets firm deadlines and rules that directly affect your right to recover. Understanding them early can help protect your claim.
The Two-Year Statute of Limitations
Under Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code section 16.003, most personal injury claims must be filed within two years of the date of injury. Miss that window and you generally lose the right to sue, regardless of how strong the underlying claim is. Two years can pass faster than it seems when you’re focused on recovery.
Texas Modified Comparative Fault
Texas follows a modified comparative fault rule. If you share some responsibility for an accident, your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault. You can still recover as long as your share of responsibility is 50% or less. Insurance companies use this rule aggressively to shift blame and reduce payouts, which is one reason why how you respond in the days after an accident matters.
Evidence Preservation & Early Action
Physical evidence, surveillance footage, witness recollections, and electronic data from commercial vehicles begin to degrade or disappear quickly after an incident. Insurance adjusters start building their defense file immediately. Consulting an attorney before giving recorded statements or accepting any settlement offer can protect your position and keep your options open.
