According to the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), the state has seen at least one traffic accident-related death every day since November 7, 2000. Texas recorded 4,150 traffic deaths in 2024. While this represented a 3.29% decrease from 2023, someone still dies in a Texas traffic accident approximately every two hours. Someone is injured about every 2 minutes, putting drivers and passengers at significant risk each day. The combination of Texas’s massive size, high population density in urban areas and extensive highway system often contributes to serious accidents. The state’s vast network of interstate highways carries heavy commercial truck traffic, tourist vehicles and daily commuters, all adding to elevated accident risks. 2024 Texas Car Accident Statistics 4,150 traffic deaths in 2024, down from 4,291 in 2023 585 motorcyclists, 768 pedestrians and 78 pedalcyclists died 1,053 fatalities involved a driver under the influence 380 fatalities involved distracted driving 251,977 people injured, including 18,218 serious injuries High-Risk Areas on Texas Roads Interstate Highways Texas’s major interstate highways carry the heaviest traffic loads and generally see the most serious accidents. I-35, I-45, I-10 and I-20 are the primary interstates connecting major cities along the state’s transportation network. These busy interstates also represent areas where drivers could face elevated risks of vehicle accidents due to: High-speed traffic with vehicles traveling 70-plus miles per hour Heavy commercial truck presence Multiple lane changes and merging zones Weather-related visibility issues Construction zones that alter regular traffic patterns Urban vs. Rural Risks According to TxDOT data, both urban and rural areas present unique dangers. Urban areas see more frequent accidents due to traffic density, while rural highways often have higher fatality rates due to longer emergency response times. In 2024, about 50% of traffic accident deaths occurred in rural areas. What To Know About Texas Car Accident Claims Whether you’re judging it by population or land area, Texas is the second-largest state in the U.S. If you’re filing a car accident claim in Texas, you’ve got plenty of company. Texas Car Accident Laws that Impact Cases If anyone sustains injuries during an automobile accident in Texas or the damages are $1,000, law enforcement is required by law to file a report. This rule also applies if the accident results in a death. If any drivers are uninsured, they’re automatically subject to a fine for the accident regardless of fault. Note that these laws don’t apply to accidents in parking lots. Texas Insurance Requirements When a crash occurs, all drivers should exchange license and insurance information. You can file claims against all responsible parties, usually through their insurance. All Texas drivers must carry minimum liability insurance, which includes: $30,000 bodily injury per person $60,000 total bodily injury per accident $25,000 property damage per accident However, these minimums are often insufficient to cover serious accident injuries. We strongly recommend higher coverage limits and personal injury protection (PIP) and uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) protection. While you can reject PIP and UM/UIM coverage in writing, these coverages offer valuable protection. Texas doesn’t require UM/UIM coverage, but the Texas Department of Insurance stated that 12% of registered vehicles in the state weren’t matched with an insurance policy in March 2025. This means more than 2.4 million vehicles on Texas roads could be uninsured. Insurance policies are automatically written with PIP, but the state doesn’t require it either. PIP and uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage pays for care and damages not covered elsewhere, including if the responsible party doesn’t have enough insurance. How Negligence Can Affect Texas Car Accident Cases Negligence is a critical aspect of personal injury cases. Negligence occurs when a party violates their duty of care, meaning a person or entity knowingly acts in a way that puts others in harm’s way. In a car accident, this can include behaviors like running a red light, speeding and failing to yield or stop correctly. To win a settlement for a personal injury case, the claim must show that someone’s negligence caused the car accident and resulting injuries. Florin|Roebig’s experienced car accident attorneys are experts in determining whether negligence caused an accident and you can pursue a personal injury settlement. Comparative Fault Rules Texas is an “at-fault” state, meaning that whoever causes a car accident is responsible for paying the damages. It follows a modified comparative negligence rule called the “51% bar to recovery” rule. If you’re found to be 51% at fault, you’re barred from recovering damages, but if you’re found to be 50% or less at fault for an accident, you can file a claim against other parties. However, the compensation you receive is reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you’re awarded $100,000 in damages but found to be 30% at fault, you would receive $70,000. Keep in mind that if you’re 30% at fault, you can be sued by other drivers and passengers in all the vehicles involved in the accident, including your own. How Liability Is Determined in Texas Car Accidents In personal injury cases, the liable party is the party legally responsible for paying damages to an injured claimant. Usually, the liable party is the insurance company of the at-fault person. So, if someone hits you in an accident and it was their fault, their insurance company will be held liable if you seek a settlement in a personal injury claim. Sometimes, other parties are held liable for accidents. For example, an auto manufacturer could be liable if a faulty part led to the accident. Or the state or municipality could be liable if hazardous roadway conditions caused the car wreck. Determining liability can be complicated, which is part of the reason why having an experienced Texas personal injury lawyer on your side after a car accident is so helpful. Sometimes, it’s not entirely clear who caused an accident. The insurance companies of the drivers involved might argue back and forth about which driver caused the accident. Statute of Limitations You have two years from the date of your accident to file a personal injury lawsuit in Texas. This timeframe is the statute of limitations on most personal injury claims in the state. However, there are exceptions. If you’re a minor at the time of the accident, the statute of limitations may be paused until you turn 18. However, a parent or guardian can file on your behalf. If you’re suing a government entity, your deadline is much shorter. The Texas Tort Claims Act & Liability states that you only have 6 months to file a personal injury claim against a state, city or county government entity. However, some cities have even shorter deadlines. For example, the City of Houston only allows 90 days and the City of Austin only allows 45 days for an injured person to submit a written claim for damages. A qualified personal injury law office will know what statutes apply to your exact case and ensure you meet all deadlines for paperwork and fees. Don’t wait. Evidence disappears, witnesses’ memories fade over time and once the deadline clock expires, you could be barred from filing a claim. Legal Options After a Texas Car Crash Car accidents can quickly become complicated legal matters, especially when multiple parties are involved. Any vehicle passengers in an accident, including those with the driver who caused the crash, can sue the at-fault driver. In Texas, you have the right to speak with an attorney if you believe that negligence caused your accident. An attorney can help you determine who was at fault and who’s liable for paying damages and build a strong case to win a favorable settlement offer. People who work with auto accident attorneys get higher average settlements than people who try to make personal injury claims alone. Let the experienced Texas car accident lawyers at Florin|Roebig help you fight to get the compensation you deserve. Common Causes of Texas Motor Vehicle Accidents Car accidents can range from minor fender-benders to major collisions with catastrophic injuries. Understanding common causes of auto accidents can help you drive more defensively and may be crucial for your case if you’re injured. The two primary causes of car accidents are human error and driver behavior. Driver behavior typically involves risky behaviors. Some of the leading causes of auto accidents in Texas include: Distracted driving (eating, phone use and texting while driving) Speeding and aggressive driving behaviors Impaired driving (alcohol and drug-related crashes) Failure to yield the right-of-way at intersections Running stop signs Following too closely (tailgating) Drowsy driving on long Texas highways Weather conditions (sudden storms, fog, ice) Defective vehicle parts or inadequate maintenance Poor road conditions or construction zones The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that speeding alone was a factor in 29% of all traffic fatalities nationwide in 2023, making it one of the most significant preventable causes of serious accidents. According to the TxDOT, speeding is one of the deadliest problems on the state’s roads, with speed a factor in over 160,000 traffic accidents in 2023 and 1,456 fatalities in speed-related accidents. If you’ve been injured in a car crash, filing a personal injury claim can help you seek compensation to pay medical bills and other related expenses. Our attorneys at Florin|Roebig handle personal injury claims from a wide range of traffic accidents. Types of Car Accidents in Texas The type of car accident you’re involved in can influence who’s considered at fault and whether negligence plays a role. Rear-End Crashes When one vehicle’s front collides with another vehicle’s rear while traveling in the same direction, this is called a rear-end collision. These are among the most common types of car accidents and are usually caused by following too closely or distracted driving. Usually, the driver of the second vehicle is at fault in rear-end crashes, but exceptions exist when the lead vehicle makes an unexpected maneuver or has non-functioning brake lights. T-Bone (Side-Impact) Collisions T-bone collisions occur when one car slams head-first into the side of another vehicle, forming a “T” shape. These crashes often occur at intersections when drivers run red lights or fail to yield. The driver breaking traffic laws will likely be at fault, but shared fault also occurs and sometimes mechanical failure is to blame instead of a traffic violation. These accidents frequently cause severe injuries due to side-impact protection in vehicles being less adequate compared to front and rear crumple zones. Sideswipe Collisions A sideswipe collision occurs when one vehicle drifts out of its lane and “swipes” the side of another. These collisions can involve two vehicles traveling in the same direction or in opposite directions. They may occur for various reasons, including distracted or impaired driving, unsafe merging or aggressive driving behavior. The driver who fails to maintain their lane will typically be found at fault. Head-On Collisions When two vehicles traveling in opposite directions on a roadway collide, with the front of one vehicle crashing into the front of the other vehicle, it’s called a head-on crash. These crashes have a high fatality rate due to the often-deadly impact force. They frequently involve wrong-way drivers, impaired drivers or vehicles crossing the median or divided highways. The driver who left their lane, entered oncoming traffic and crashed into another vehicle will generally be at fault. Multiple-Vehicle Accidents in Texas Any car crash, truck accident or motorcycle accident in Texas involving two or more vehicles is called a multi-vehicle crash. Common on busy Texas highways, multi-vehicle accidents are often complex incidents with multiple parties liable and require thorough investigations to determine fault percentages. Hit-and-Run Accidents in Texas When a vehicle crashes into another car, object, animal or person and flees the scene, this is called a hit-and-run accident. Unfortunately, hit-and-run crashes are common in Texas, requiring immediate action to preserve evidence and explore all compensation options. Compensation may come from your own uninsured motorist coverage, if you purchased it. Commercial Truck Accidents Given the state’s position as a major commercial transportation hub, truck accidents in Texas represent a significant portion of serious injury cases. Due to the larger size and weight of commercial vehicles, passenger vehicles usually receive extensive damage in these accidents and fatalities are common. These accidents often involve complex federal regulations and multiple potentially liable parties.

Find out if you have a case we could help you win Speak To a Specialist What Types of Injuries Occur in Texas Car Accidents? Car accidents can cause a wide range of injuries, from minor to life-changing, including: Head trauma, including traumatic brain injuries (TBI) and concussions Spinal cord injuries and paralysis Neck or back injuries Broken bones and fractures Internal injuries and organ damage Burns from fires or airbag deployment Cuts and lacerations requiring stitches Scarring or disfigurement Dismemberment or disability Whiplash and soft tissue injuries Psychological trauma and PTSD Even seemingly minor injuries can have long-term consequences. It’s essential to seek medical attention immediately and document all injuries for your potential claim. When serious injuries go undiagnosed or mistreated, you may also be eligible to file a medical malpractice suit against any treating physicians. What to Do After a Texas Car Accident When you’ve been involved in an automobile accident in Texas, it’s vital to know what to do. Following the right steps can help you stay safe immediately after the accident and file a personal injury claim correctly. Immediate Steps: Ensure safety: Move to a safe location if possible Call 911: Report the accident and request medical assistance Document everything: Take photos, get witness information Exchange information: But avoid admitting fault Seek medical attention: Even for seemingly minor injuries Contact your insurance company: File an insurance claim Call an experienced car accident lawyer: Protect your rights What NOT to Do: Don’t admit fault or apologize Don’t sign anything except a police report Don’t give detailed statements to other insurance companies Don’t post about the accident on social media Don’t delay medical treatment Seek Help From a Car Accident Attorney The more serious the accident, the more likely you should enlist an attorney who can be present when you speak with insurance company adjusters and attorneys or negotiate with them on your behalf. The insurance company representatives’ first priority is to protect their employer’s assets. Their questions are designed to determine how much they can avoid paying you. Even your own insurance company will look for reasons to reduce your payout eligibility. Car accident attorneys can offer sound legal representation and help you seek maximum compensation.

We Are Nationally Awarded Lawyers FAQs About Texas Car Accidents and Auto Injury Attorneys How much does it cost to hire a car accident lawyer in Texas? How much car accident attorneys charge in Texas varies. However, most work on a contingency fee basis, which means you pay nothing up front and your attorney’s fee comes out of your recovery. You pay nothing unless your attorney recovers compensation for you. How long do I have to file a Texas car accident claim? Texas has a two-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims following a car accident, but it’s critical to act quickly to preserve evidence and protect your rights. What if I’m partially at fault for the accident? Under Texas’s comparative fault system, you may still recover damages if you were 50% or less at fault. However, your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault. Should I accept the insurance company’s first offer? No. Insurance companies typically make low initial offers, hoping you’ll accept quickly. An experienced attorney can properly evaluate your claim and negotiate for fair compensation. Do I need a lawyer if the accident was minor? Even minor accidents can result in injuries that don’t appear immediately. Insurance companies often try to settle quickly and cheaply. Consulting with an attorney costs you nothing and helps protect your rights. What if the other driver doesn’t have insurance? Texas law requires all drivers to carry insurance, but many don’t comply. Your own uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage may provide compensation, and your car accident lawyer can explore other options based on your specific situation.
