Step-by-Step Guide
In Texas, you are legally required to report accidents involving injury, death, or significant property damage. Call 911 from the scene in The Woodlands and request both police and medical assistance.
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 CHI St. Luke's Health — The Woodlands Hospital and Memorial Hermann The Woodlands Medical Center.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.

Texas Tort Claims Act
