Yes — if you were injured in a car accident in Texas that was caused by another driver’s negligence, you have the absolute legal right to sue and recover full compensation. Texas is an at-fault state, meaning the driver who caused the accident is legally responsible for every injury, every medical bill, every lost paycheck, and every dollar of pain and suffering they caused you. You do not have to accept a lowball insurance offer. You do not have to suffer in silence. Call Rad Law Firm right now at 972-661-1111. Free case evaluation. No fees unless we win.
You Were Hurt. Someone Else Caused It. You Have Rights.
Every day across Dallas-Fort Worth and all of Texas, injured accident victims ask the same question:
“Can I actually sue? Do I have a real case?”
The answer in most situations is yes — and the compensation available to you is likely far more than the insurance company will ever voluntarily offer.
Here is everything you need to know — clearly, simply, and directly.
📞 Call Rad Law Firm at 972-661-1111. Find out exactly where you stand — free.
Texas Is an At-Fault State — Here Is What That Means For You
Texas follows an at-fault system for car accident liability.
This means:
✅ The driver who caused the accident is legally responsible for all resulting damages
✅ Their insurance company is required to compensate you for your injuries and losses
✅ You have the right to file a personal injury lawsuit if the insurance company refuses to pay fairly
✅ You are not limited to a fixed payout — you can pursue full compensation for everything the accident cost you
In Texas, fault equals financial responsibility. Period.
And when an insurance company tries to lowball you — which they almost always do — filing a lawsuit is exactly how you force them to pay what they actually owe.
📞 Call 972-661-1111 right now. Rad Law Firm fights for every dollar.
When Can You Sue After a Car Accident in Texas?
You have the right to sue when:
1. Another Driver Was Negligent
Negligence means the other driver failed to act with reasonable care on the road.
Common examples include:
- Running a red light or stop sign
- Rear-ending your vehicle
- Distracted driving — texting or phone use
- Drunk or impaired driving
- Speeding or reckless driving
- Failing to yield
- Improper lane changes
- Drowsy or fatigued driving
If another driver did any of these things and you were injured as a result — you have a case.
2. You Suffered Real Injuries
To file a personal injury lawsuit in Texas you must have suffered actual harm including:
- Physical injuries requiring medical treatment
- Lost wages from missed work
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Permanent disability or disfigurement
- Wrongful death of a loved one
Even injuries that seem minor at first — whiplash, back pain, headaches — can develop into serious long-term conditions. Get medical care immediately and call Rad Law Firm.
3. The Insurance Company Is Not Paying What You Deserve
This is the most common reason injury victims file lawsuits in Texas.
Insurance companies routinely:
🚩 Offer settlements far below the true value of the case
🚩 Dispute the severity of your injuries
🚩 Delay claims hoping you get desperate
🚩 Deny claims entirely looking for any technicality
🚩 Pressure you to accept fast lowball offers before you know your full damages
When an insurance company refuses to pay fairly — Rad Law Firm sues. And wins.
📞 Call 972-661-1111. Do not let the insurance company decide what your injuries are worth.
What Can You Sue For After a Texas Car Accident?
When Rad Law Firm files suit on your behalf, we pursue every dollar you are legally entitled to:
Economic Damages — Your Financial Losses
✅ All Medical Bills — emergency care, surgery, hospitalization, physical therapy, specialist visits, medication, and all future treatment costs
✅ Lost Wages — every paycheck missed while you recovered from your injuries
✅ Future Earning Capacity — if your injuries permanently affect your ability to work at the same level
✅ Property Damage — full repair or replacement value of your vehicle
✅ Out-of-Pocket Expenses — transportation, in-home care, and all other direct costs from the accident
Non-Economic Damages — The Human Cost
✅ Pain and Suffering — the physical pain you have endured and will continue to endure
✅ Emotional Distress — anxiety, depression, PTSD, and psychological trauma from the crash
✅ Loss of Enjoyment of Life — when injuries prevent you from doing things you loved before
✅ Mental Anguish — the emotional suffering beyond the physical injuries themselves
✅ Disfigurement and Scarring — permanent physical changes to your appearance
✅ Loss of Consortium — the impact your injuries have had on your marriage and family relationships
Punitive Damages — When the Driver Was Reckless
In cases involving extreme negligence, Texas courts may award punitive damages on top of all other compensation.
These apply when:
🚨 The at-fault driver was drunk or driving under the influence
🚨 The driver was street racing
🚨 The crash involved hit-and-run conduct
🚨 The driver acted with deliberate disregard for your safety
Punitive damages can dramatically increase the total value of your case. Rad Law Firm knows exactly when and how to pursue them.
What If the Other Driver Says It Was Your Fault?
This is one of the most common tactics insurance companies use.
Here is the Texas law you need to know:
Texas follows a Modified Comparative Fault rule under Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code Section 33.001.
This means:
✅ You can still sue and recover compensation as long as you are less than 51% at fault
✅ Your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault
✅ If you are 51% or more at fault — you cannot recover
Example: Your case is worth $300,000. The insurance company claims you were 20% at fault. Your recovery is reduced by 20% — you receive $240,000.
The tactic: Insurance companies artificially inflate your percentage of fault to reduce what they owe.
The Rad Law Firm counter: We fight false fault assignments with evidence, expert witnesses, accident reconstruction, and aggressive legal strategy — protecting the full value of your case.
📞 Even if the other driver is blaming you — call 972-661-1111. You may still be entitled to significant compensation.
What If the At-Fault Driver Has No Insurance?
Texas has a serious uninsured driver problem.
If the driver who hit you has no insurance — or not enough insurance — you are not without options.
✅ Uninsured Motorist Coverage — UM — your own policy covers you when the at-fault driver has zero insurance
✅ Underinsured Motorist Coverage — UIM — covers the gap when the at-fault driver’s policy is not enough
✅ Personal Injury Protection — PIP — pays your medical bills and lost wages regardless of fault
✅ Additional liable parties — in some cases, other parties share responsibility and can be pursued
The car accident lawyers at Rad Law Firm investigates every available source of compensation — so an uninsured driver does not mean an uncompensated victim.
📞 Call 972-661-1111 immediately if the at-fault driver has no insurance.
How Long Do You Have to Sue After a Texas Car Accident?
Texas gives most car accident victims 2 years from the date of the crash to file a personal injury lawsuit.
This is called the statute of limitations under Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code Section 16.003.
Critical exceptions that can shorten this window:
⚠️ Government vehicles or property involved — you may have only 6 months to file a formal notice of claim
⚠️ Minors injured — the clock generally pauses until the minor turns 18
⚠️ Delayed injury discovery — the Discovery Rule may apply in limited circumstances
Do not assume you have time to spare.
Evidence disappears within days. Surveillance footage is deleted within 24 to 72 hours. Witnesses forget. The sooner Rad Law Firm gets involved, the stronger your case becomes.
⚠️ Every day you wait is a day the insurance company gets stronger and your case gets weaker. Call 972-661-1111 right now.
Step-by-Step — What to Do to Build the Strongest Possible Case
Step 1: Get Medical Attention Immediately
✅ See a doctor the same day — even if you feel okay
✅ Adrenaline masks pain — serious injuries often have delayed symptoms
✅ Tell your doctor every symptom in detail
✅ Follow every treatment plan completely
✅ Keep every medical record, bill, and prescription
Delayed medical care is the insurance company’s most powerful weapon to deny your injuries. Remove that weapon immediately.
Step 2: Document Everything
📸 Photograph all vehicles, injuries, road conditions, skid marks, and debris
📋 Collect driver information, insurance details, and witness contacts
📹 Note any surveillance or traffic cameras that may have captured the crash
📝 Write down every detail you remember — immediately, while it is fresh
Step 3: Do NOT Talk to the Insurance Company Without a Lawyer
🚫 Do not give recorded statements
🚫 Do not accept any settlement offer — no matter how fast or how much
🚫 Do not sign any documents or releases
🚫 Do not post about the accident on social media
🚫 Do not say you feel fine or are doing okay
One wrong statement can cost you thousands — or your entire case.
Step 4: Call Rad Law Firm Immediately

Mistakes That Can Hurt Your Texas Car Accident Lawsuit
Avoid every single one of these:
🚩 Delaying medical treatment — gaps in care destroy injury claims
🚩 Giving a recorded statement — used against you to minimize your injuries
🚩 Accepting the first settlement offer — almost always a fraction of true case value
🚩 Posting on social media — insurance adjusters monitor your accounts constantly
🚩 Waiting too long to call a lawyer — evidence disappears and deadlines close in
🚩 Assuming the insurance company will be fair — they will not be
🚩 Not documenting your pain daily — undocumented suffering is unpaid suffering
🚩 Thinking your injuries are not serious enough to sue — let Rad Law Firm evaluate that

Frequently Asked Questions — Suing After a Texas Car Accident
Q: Can I sue the other driver even if their insurance company offered me a settlement?
Yes. You are never obligated to accept an insurance settlement offer. If the offer does not fully cover your injuries, medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering — you have the right to reject it and file a lawsuit. Call Rad Law Firm at 972-661-1111 before you accept anything.
Q: How long does a car accident lawsuit take in Texas?
It depends on the complexity of the case. Many cases settle during negotiation without going to trial — often within several months to a year. Cases that go to trial take longer but often produce significantly higher results. Rad Law Firm moves efficiently while always prioritizing maximum recovery. Call 972-661-1111.
Q: What if I was partly at fault for the accident?
You can still sue and recover compensation in Texas as long as you are less than 51% at fault. Insurance companies inflate victim fault percentages to reduce payouts. Rad Law Firm fights those false assignments aggressively. Call 972-661-1111 even if you think you share some blame.
Q: Can I sue if I was a passenger in the car that caused the accident?
Yes. As a passenger you are almost never at fault for an accident. You have the right to file a claim against the at-fault driver — including the driver of the vehicle you were riding in. Call Rad Law Firm at 972-661-1111 for a free evaluation.
Q: What if my injuries did not show up right away?
This is very common. Whiplash, herniated discs, traumatic brain injury, and internal injuries often have delayed onset. Seek medical care immediately — even days after the accident — and call Rad Law Firm at 972-661-1111. The Discovery Rule may extend your rights in delayed-injury situations.

Absolutely nothing upfront. Rad Law Firm works on a pure contingency fee — you pay zero unless and until we win your case. No hourly fees. No retainer. No financial risk whatsoever. And Rad Law Firm’s fee terms are better than billboard law firms — meaning more money stays in your pocket.
