Do You Have a Case?
If your accident was caused by another driver’s negligence, you may have the right to pursue compensation. Some of the most common causes of car crashes include:
- Distracted driving (texting, phone use, adjusting GPS)
- Speeding and reckless driving
- Running red lights and stop signs
- Drunk or impaired driving
- Failing to yield the right of way
- Defective vehicle parts or poor road conditions
Even if you’re not sure who was at fault, speaking with a car accident lawyer in Kaufman or Greenville can help clarify your legal options.
What Compensation Can You Recover?
A car accident claim can help recover compensation for:
- Medical expenses (emergency care, hospital stays, rehabilitation, ongoing treatments)
- Lost wages and loss of earning potential
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress and trauma
- Vehicle repair or replacement costs
- Long-term disability or disfigurement
Insurance companies will often try to undervalue your injuries and offer a settlement far lower than what you actually need. We fight to ensure you receive the full compensation you are entitled to under Texas law.

FAQs
How long do I have to file a car accident claim in Texas?
Texas law allows two years from the date of your accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. If you miss this deadline, you may lose your right to compensation.
What if the insurance company offers me a settlement?
Never accept a settlement without talking to a lawyer first. Insurance companies often try to settle cases quickly for less than what you actually need to cover medical bills, lost wages, and long-term expenses.
What if I was partially at fault for the crash?
Texas follows a modified comparative negligence rule. If you were less than 51% at fault, you can still recover damages, but your compensation may be reduced based on your percentage of fault.
How much does it cost to hire a car accident lawyer?
Our firm works on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing upfront. We only get paid if we win your case.
Should I talk to the insurance adjuster?
No. Insurance adjusters often use your own words against you to reduce or deny your claim. It’s best to let your lawyer handle all communications with the insurance company.
