Legal landscape in Texas
Texas uses modified comparative fault. If you are 51 percent or more at fault, many injury claims may be barred. Damage caps apply to certain medical and government claims. Cases from the Houston Ship Channel and West Texas energy sites often involve multiple defendants.
Most personal injury lawsuits must be filed within two years. Government claims may have earlier notice requirements. Have a Texas attorney verify your deadlines.
