Guidance on Filing a Motor Vehicle Accident Claim in Texas

When it comes to personal injury claims, states either follow at-fault or no-fault systems. Texas is an at-fault state (also known as a “tort” state), which means you typically must file a claim against the at-fault party to recover compensation. This means you must prove that someone else was to blame for the accident to have grounds for a claim.

But what happens when multiple parties share some of the blame? For example, imagine a person texting when their car is hit by a drunk driver. Can the texting driver still bring a claim against the drunk driver?

Because Texas follows a rule of modified comparative negligence, the answer is yes—but with certain caveats. Individuals who are injured in motor vehicle accidents in Texas can still file claims for compensation if they were partially to blame as long as they are less than 51% to blame. In other words, the other person or party must be more at fault for the accident than you for you to file a motor vehicle accident claim.

What to Do After a Motor Vehicle Accident

After any motor vehicle accident—regardless of the type of vehicle(s) involved or the severity of your injuries—there are certain steps you should take to protect your rights and ensure your continued well-being.

Whether you were involved in a passenger car accident, a crash with a commercial vehicle, or any other type of collision, try to do the following:

  • Call 911: You should call 911 (or the appropriate authorities) if you are involved in any accident that results in bodily injury or death. Stay at the scene and wait for the police/paramedics to arrive. If needed, get medical attention at the scene and be sure to file an official accident report with the law enforcement officer(s).
  • Seek Medical Attention: If you do not require emergency medical treatment at the scene, you should still see a doctor as soon as possible. Even seemingly minor injuries may be far more serious than they appear and can lead to serious complications without professional treatment. Always see a medical provider after a motor vehicle accident.
  • Exchange Information: If possible, get the name, address, phone number, and insurance information of the other parties involved in the accident. Because Texas is an at-fault state, you will need this information to file a personal injury claim with the at-fault motorist’s insurance provider.
  • Document Everything: The more details you can document, the better. Use your smartphone’s camera to take photos of the scene and write down everything you can remember about what happened. Take pictures of your injuries and property damage and keep a record of your medical appointments, symptoms, and progress.
  • Contact an Attorney: It is generally a good idea to reach out to an attorney as soon as possible after a motor vehicle accident. You may experience issues when filing your claim, including disputes from the liable party’s insurance provider. An attorney can help ensure your rights are protected and fight to recover the maximum compensation you are owed.
