Texas Car Accident Laws
Texas follows specific laws that determine how liability and compensation work after a car accident. Understanding these rules is important when pursuing a claim.
Texas operates under a fault-based system, meaning the driver responsible for causing the crash is liable for the damages. Injured victims may seek compensation through the at-fault driver’s insurance policy or through a personal injury lawsuit.
Key aspects of Texas car accident laws include:
- Modified comparative negligence: Under Texas law, you may recover damages as long as you are less than 51% responsible for the accident. However, your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault.
- Statute of limitations: In most cases, victims have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit.
- Minimum insurance requirements: Texas drivers must carry minimum liability coverage of:
- $30,000 for bodily injury per person
- $60,000 per accident
- $25,000 for property damage
- Reporting accidents: Drivers must report crashes involving injury, death, or significant property damage.
Because insurance companies often attempt to minimize payouts, working with a Houston car accident lawyer can help ensure your rights are protected and your claim is handled properly.
Where Do Crashes Often Occur in Houston?
With over 600 square miles of territory, Houston features some of the most dangerous stretches of road in North America. Here are several high-risk zones:
The Deadliest Highways
- I-45 (Gulf Freeway): Frequently cited as the deadliest highway in the U.S. due to high speeds and heavy congestion.
- I-10 (Katy Freeway): The "bottleneck illusion" at major interchanges like the 610 Loop creates frequent rear-end and side-impact collisions.
- US-59 (Southwest Freeway): Constant construction and complex feeder road entries make this a hotspot for wrecks.
