Williford Law – Fighting for the Seriously Injured Throughout Texas
Injured in a Car Accident in Texas? Our Legal Team is Ready to Help.
Every year, thousands of people in Texas are injured or killed in motor vehicle collisions, many caused by another driver’s negligence. If you or a loved one were hurt in an auto accident in Texas, you may be entitled to significant compensation for your medical bills, lost income, pain, and suffering.
At Williford Law, we represent injury victims across Texas who deserve more than a low settlement offer. We fight aggressively to hold at-fault drivers, insurance companies, and commercial entities accountable for the harm they cause.
You focus on healing. We’ll handle everything else.
Common Causes of Car Accidents in Texas
Understanding the root cause of a crash is critical to securing compensation. At Williford Law, we handle cases involving:
- Distracted driving (texting, social media, GPS use)
- Drunk driving or drug-impaired driving
- Speeding and aggressive driving
- Running red lights or stop signs
- Unsafe lane changes
- Failure to yield the right of way
- Rear-end collisions
- Head-on collisions
- Multi-vehicle pileups
- Defective vehicle parts (product liability)
Whether your crash involved a passenger car, commercial truck, or rideshare vehicle, our team is prepared to uncover the full story and build a powerful case.
Types of Injuries Resulting from Car Accidents
Car accident injuries range from mild to catastrophic. We help clients who suffer:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
- Neck and back injuries (e.g., whiplash, herniated discs)
- Broken bones and fractures
- Internal bleeding and organ damage
- Burns, lacerations, and permanent disfigurement
- Psychological trauma (PTSD, anxiety, depression)
- Wrongful death
Some injuries are immediately obvious. Others, like concussions or soft-tissue injuries, may take days or weeks to fully manifest. It’s critical to seek immediate medical evaluation after a crash, even if you feel “okay.”
Who May Be Liable for a Car Accident?
In many cases, liability extends beyond the other driver. Potentially responsible parties include:
- Negligent drivers
- Employers of commercial drivers (under respondeat superior)
- Rideshare companies (Uber, Lyft)
- Trucking companies and cargo loaders
- Auto manufacturers (defective parts)
- Bars or restaurants that overserved a drunk driver (dram shop claims)
We conduct a full investigation into every crash to uncover all liable parties, maximizing your chances of full compensation.
What Compensation Can You Recover?
If you were injured due to someone else’s negligence, Texas law allows you to seek damages for:
- Medical expenses (past and future)
- Lost wages and loss of earning capacity
- Property damage (vehicle repair or total loss)
- Pain and suffering
- Mental anguish
- Loss of consortium (for family members)
- Disfigurement and permanent disability
- Punitive damages (in cases of gross negligence)
At Williford Law, we don’t settle for lowball offers. We fight for every dollar you deserve.
Texas Auto Accident Laws You Should Know
Fault-Based System:
Texas operates under an at-fault (tort) system. You must prove the other driver was negligent to recover damages.
Modified Comparative Negligence:
You can recover damages even if you were partly at fault, but your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault. If you are more than 50% responsible, you cannot recover.
Statute of Limitations:
You generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit. Failing to act within this time can bar your claim.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much is my car accident case worth?
The value of your claim depends on the severity of your injuries, medical costs, lost wages, future medical needs, and the impact on your life. Each case is unique.
Do I need a lawyer if the insurance company offers me a settlement?
Yes. Early offers are usually far below the true value of your claim. An experienced attorney can help you demand full compensation.
What if I were partially at fault for the crash?
Under Texas law, you can still recover damages as long as you were not more than 50% at fault. Your recovery will be reduced by your percentage of fault.
How long will my car accident case take?
Some cases settle in months. More complex cases involving serious injuries or disputed liability may take a year or longer. We will always prioritize your best interests.
