Williford Law | When Life Is Wrecked by Negligence, We Fight for Your Full Recovery
Life After a Car Crash in Texas Can Feel Overwhelming. You Don’t Have to Face It Alone.
A car accident isn’t just an inconvenience — it can leave you facing physical pain, emotional trauma, lost income, skyrocketing medical bills, and an uncertain future.
Insurance companies move fast, offering quick settlements that undervalue your suffering.
At Williford Law, we don’t let them.
We stand up, speak out, and fight back — aggressively pursuing full justice for every client we represent.
If you or a loved one was hurt in a car accident in Texas, you deserve a law firm that treats your case like the life-changing event it is.
Leading Causes of Car Accidents in Texas
Behind nearly every crash is a bad decision, and someone who should be held responsible.
We handle cases involving:
- Distracted Driving: texting, apps, GPS, eating, grooming
- Speeding and Aggressive Driving: unsafe lane changes, tailgating
- Driving Under the Influence: alcohol, illegal drugs, prescription medications
- Running Red Lights or Stop Signs: Ignoring basic traffic controls
- Failure to Yield: accidents at intersections or while merging
- Fatigued Driving: drowsiness leading to delayed reactions or falling asleep at the wheel
- Defective Vehicles: brake failures, tire blowouts, steering system defects
We don’t guess. We investigate — and we prove what happened.
Catastrophic Injuries Common in Car Accidents
Car crashes can cause a wide range of injuries, many of which have permanent consequences:
- Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI) — from mild concussions to severe brain damage
- Spinal Cord Injuries — including paralysis
- Orthopedic Injuries — complex fractures requiring surgery
- Internal Organ Damage — liver, spleen, lungs, and abdominal trauma
- Severe Burns and Scarring
- Whiplash and Chronic Neck/Back Pain
- Psychological Injuries — PTSD, anxiety, depression
- Wrongful Death
At Williford Law, we fight to value your injuries completely, not just the easy-to-measure medical bills.
Your Rights After a Car Accident in Texas
Texas operates under a traditional fault system for car accident claims.
Here’s what you need to know:
- Fault Matters: You must prove another driver (or entity) was negligent to recover damages.
- Modified Comparative Negligence: You can still recover compensation if you were less than 51% at fault, but your recovery will be reduced by your percentage of fault.
- Statute of Limitations: In Texas, you generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit.
Early legal action protects your rights and preserves critical evidence.
Damages Available After a Car Accident in Texas
Depending on your case, you may recover damages for:
- Emergency medical treatment and hospitalization
- Surgeries, physical therapy, and long-term rehabilitation
- Future medical costs related to permanent injuries
- Lost wages during recovery
- Loss of future earning potential for career-ending injuries
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress and psychological injuries
- Loss of consortium for spouses and family
- Property damage (vehicle and other belongings)
- Wrongful death benefits (funeral expenses, loss of companionship, financial support)
At Williford Law, we pursue full compensation, not what the insurance company “feels like” offering.
What to Do After a Car Accident in Texas
Protect yourself and your potential claim by taking these steps:
- Call 911 immediately — get police and medical professionals on the scene.
- Seek prompt medical attention — even if you feel “fine.”
- Document everything — scene photos, vehicle damage, visible injuries.
- Collect witness information — names, phone numbers, brief statements.
- Be cautious when speaking to insurance companies — avoid giving recorded statements without an attorney.
- Contact Williford Law before signing any documents or accepting any offers.
The right actions now can mean thousands — or even millions — of dollars later.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Should I Accept an Insurance Settlement After a Car Accident?
No, not without consulting an experienced attorney. Insurance companies often offer far less than your claim is truly worth, especially early on.
What If the Other Driver Was Uninsured or Underinsured?
You may still recover through your own UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage, which we can help you navigate.
How Long Does a Car Accident Claim Typically Take?
Each case is different. Minor injury claims can settle within months; serious injury cases can take a year or longer. At Williford Law, we prioritize full value, not fast closure.
Can I Still Recover Compensation If I Was Partly at Fault?
Yes. As long as you are 50% or less at fault, you can still recover damages, reduced by your share of fault.
