Injured in a Houston Auto Accident? Here’s What You Need to Know | Williford Law, PLLC
Houston is one of the busiest—and most dangerous—driving cities in America. With congested freeways, commercial trucks, distracted drivers, and constantly changing road conditions, serious collisions happen every single day. When you’re injured in a crash, the aftermath can feel overwhelming: medical bills, time off work, insurance adjusters calling nonstop, and questions about your legal rights.
At Williford Law, PLLC, we help injured Texans regain control, understand their options, and secure the compensation they deserve.
Common Causes of Auto Accidents in Houston
Houston roadways present unique risks. Some of the most frequent causes include:
- Distracted driving (texting, GPS use, social media)
- High-speed collisions on I-10, I-45, and Beltway 8
- Commercial truck and 18-wheeler crashes
- Drunk or impaired driving
- Unsafe lane changes and tailgating
- Failure to yield at intersections
- Hit-and-run incidents
No matter the cause, Texas law allows injured victims to pursue compensation when someone else’s negligence contributed to the accident.
What You Should Do After a Houston Car Crash
Taking the right steps early can significantly strengthen your case.
1. Get Medical Attention Immediately
Even if you “feel okay,” injuries like concussions, soft-tissue damage, and internal injuries often appear later.
2. Report the Accident
Always call HPD or the appropriate law-enforcement agency. An official crash report is a key piece of evidence.
3. Document Everything
Photos, videos, witness names, medical records, and repair estimates all help establish liability.
4. Notify Your Insurance—but Do NOT Give Recorded Statements
Insurance adjusters often attempt to minimize your claim. Speak with an attorney before giving any formal statement.
5. Contact Williford Law, PLLC
We guide clients through every phase of the process—protecting your rights, handling all communication, and building a strong claim for recovery.
What Compensation Can You Recover After a Car Accident?
Under Texas law, you may be entitled to recover:
- Medical expenses (current and future)
- Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Property damage
- Physical impairment
- Mental anguish
- Loss of enjoyment of life
Every case is different, and value depends on the severity of injuries, liability, and available insurance coverage.
