Local context
Texas law and your claim
Texas applies modified comparative fault. At 51 percent fault or above, numerous injury claims could be prohibited. Certain medical and government claims face damage caps. Disputes arising from the Houston Ship Channel and West Texas energy operations frequently name multiple defendants.
Two years is generally the window for filing most personal injury lawsuits. Government claims could carry earlier notice obligations. Ask a Texas attorney to confirm your deadlines.
Issues that often come up in Texas reviews
01
Energy, trucking, and the coast
Houston Ship Channel, West Texas energy, 18-wheeler, and hurricane-related claims are everyday Texas fact patterns. Extra defendants are common. We do not file in district court.
02
Big-county practice
Harris, Dallas, Travis, and Bexar Counties each have local rules on top of statewide statutes. A reviewing attorney will know which court and which standing order apply.
03
Government notice and medical caps
Government claims can require earlier notice than a two-year injury range. Some medical claims face damage limits. Have a Texas attorney confirm your dates.
