Your car accident wasn’t just bad luck. Now you’re injured, missing work, and the insurance company is already downplaying your case.
We help car crash victims in Houston fight back — and win. With a no-win, no-fee guarantee, and millions recovered for our clients, our attorneys will handle everything while you focus on healing.
Is Houston Really That Dangerous for Drivers?
Yes. Houston has some of the deadliest roads in Texas:
- 67,000+ crashes in 2022 (TxDOT)
- 301 traffic deaths in 2024
- More crash deaths than homicides in the first half of 2024 (Axios)
Insurance companies are overwhelmed and looking to settle low. We make sure they don’t lowball you.
What Should I Do After a Car Accident in Houston?
Do I need to call the police after a crash?
Yes. Call 911 immediately. Police reports help document fault, injuries, and other details insurers will question.
What evidence should I collect at the scene?
- Photos of vehicle damage, skid marks, and road signs
- Witness names and contact info
- The other driver’s license, insurance, and plate
- Officer badge numbers and the crash report number
How do I get my Houston accident report?
- Online: TxDOT Crash Reports ($6-$8)
- In-person: HPD Records, 1200 Travis St
- Mail: Request to HPD with check or money order
Should I call my insurance right away?
Yes, but say very little. Let your lawyer talk to the insurance companies. We prevent you from saying something that hurts your case.
Should I Hire a Houston Car Accident Lawyer?
What can a car accident attorney do for me?
We handle everything: investigations, paperwork, negotiations, and litigation if needed. You focus on getting better.
Will I get more money with a lawyer?
In most cases, yes. Insurers take your case seriously when a lawyer is involved. We help maximize every category of damages.
What if I’m partially at fault?
Texas uses a 51% bar rule:
- If you’re 51% or more at fault, no recovery.
- If you’re 50% or less, your payout is reduced by your fault percent.
Example:
- $100,000 verdict
- You’re 20% at fault → You receive $80,000
What is the statute of limitations?
You have 2 years from the date of the crash to file a lawsuit. Some government-related claims are even shorter. Call us now so you don’t miss your window.
What Types of Compensation Can I Recover?
You may be eligible for:
- Medical bills (emergency care, surgery, rehab)
- Lost income and future earning potential
- Pain and suffering
- Property damage
- Loss of enjoyment of life
Tip: Don’t accept the first offer. We’ll fight for your full case value.
How Do Car Accident Claims Work?
How do I file a claim?
Gather evidence, seek medical treatment, and let us file the claim. We handle the paperwork and deal with adjusters.
Settlement vs. Lawsuit: Which is better?
- Settlement: Quicker, private, less stress
- Lawsuit: Necessary if the insurer lowballs or denies fault
We do both. We’ll tell you which route fits your case.

How to Find the Best Houston Car Accident Lawyer
What questions should I ask?

- What’s your success rate?
- Will I work with a lawyer or just staff?
- How often will you update me?
- How do contingency fees work?
What are contingency fees?
You only pay if we win. Our fee is a percentage of your settlement. No upfront payments. No hourly charges.

Trust, communication, and responsiveness are key. You need someone who actually listens, not just sells you.
FAQs About Houston Car Accidents
Should I accept the insurance company’s first offer?
No. Initial offers are low. One client was offered $20,000. We settled for $75,000. Don’t leave money on the table.
Do I really need a lawyer for a minor accident?
If there are injuries, yes. Many soft tissue injuries worsen over time. We’ll review your case for free.
Is Texas a no-fault state?
No. It’s an at-fault state. The other driver’s insurance pays. If they’re uninsured, your UM/UIM coverage may apply.
