Personal Injury Attorneys Serving Montrose, TX

Montrose is one of Houston's most walkable neighborhoods and a cultural hub — but its pedestrian-heavy streets aren't designed for the volume of vehicle traffic they carry. Westheimer Road through Montrose is one of the most dangerous corridors in inner-loop Houston.

The neighborhood's nightlife along Westheimer and Fairview generates concentrated DUI crashes, particularly on weekend nights.

Bond Legal represents Montrose residents and visitors injured in traffic accidents. Call (866) 423-7724 for a free case evaluation.

Step-by-Step Guide

What Should You Do After an Accident in Montrose?

  1. 1

    Call 911 and Report the Accident

    In Texas, you are legally required to report accidents involving injury, death, or significant property damage. Call 911 from the scene in Montrose and request both police and medical assistance.

  2. 2

    Seek Immediate Medical Attention

    Go to a hospital or urgent care — even if you feel fine. Many injuries like whiplash, concussions, and internal bleeding don't show symptoms immediately. Nearby hospitals include Houston Methodist Hospital and St. Joseph Medical Center.

  3. 3

    Document Everything at the Scene

    Take photos and videos of all vehicles, injuries, road conditions, traffic signals, and skid marks. Get names, phone numbers, and insurance information from all parties and witnesses.

  4. 4

    Do Not Speak to Insurance Adjusters Without an Attorney

    Insurance companies will contact you quickly — often within 24 hours. Their goal is to get a recorded statement they can use against you and to offer a lowball settlement before you understand your claim's true value.

  5. 5

    Contact a Personal Injury Attorney Immediately

    Texas's statute of limitations is 2 years from date of injury (Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 16.003). However, critical evidence — surveillance footage, witness memories, vehicle data — degrades rapidly. The sooner you call Bond Legal at (866) 423-7724, the stronger your case.

  6. 6

    Keep All Medical Records and Bills

    Every doctor visit, prescription, therapy session, and medical bill becomes evidence of your damages. Keep a daily journal documenting your pain levels, limitations, and emotional impact.

Texas Law

How Does Texas Personal Injury Law Work?

Modified Comparative Fault (51% Bar)

Source: Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 33.001

Texas follows a modified comparative fault rule — you can recover damages only if you are 50% or less at fault. If you are 51% or more at fault, you recover nothing.

Statute of Limitations: 2 years from date of injury

Source: Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 16.003

In Texas, you generally have 2 years from date of injury from the date of your injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. Missing this deadline typically bars you from recovering any compensation. There are limited exceptions for minors, discovery of latent injuries, and government claims — consult an attorney immediately.

Damage Caps

No cap on economic damages. Non-economic damages are uncapped in most PI cases, but government liability claims are capped under the Texas Tort Claims Act (Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 101.023): $250,000 per person and $500,000 per occurrence. HB 19 (87th Legislature, 2021) reformed commercial motor vehicle litigation by requiring bifurcated trials and limiting respondeat superior evidence.

Key Texas Laws Affecting Your Case

Proportionate Responsibility

Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 33.013

Bars and restaurants can be held liable for serving alcohol to an obviously intoxicated person who causes an accident.

Barratry Prohibition

Tex. Penal Code § 38.12

HB 19 — Commercial Vehicle Litigation Reform

Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 72.051–72.061 (87th Leg., 2021)

Requires bifurcated trials in commercial motor vehicle cases, limiting discovery of employer net worth and corporate conduct evidence until compensatory liability is established.

Texas Tort Claims Act

Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 101.023

Caps government entity liability at $250,000 per person and $500,000 per occurrence. Claims against government entities require specific notice within 6 months.
