Car Accident Injury Claims in La Porte
Car accidents are among the most common causes of injury in La Porte. If you’ve been involved in a crash due to a negligent driver, you may be entitled to compensation for medical bills, property damage, and more. Texas applies a fault-based system in auto accident claims, meaning the at-fault party is financially responsible for your losses.
We also assist clients with:
Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM) Claims
Distracted Driving Cases
Fatal Car Accidents and Wrongful Death
Understanding Texas Personal Injury Law
In Texas, personal injury claims generally require proving that another party’s negligence caused your injuries. Negligence is established by demonstrating:
Duty of Care – The defendant had a responsibility to act reasonably.
Breach of Duty – They failed to uphold that responsibility.
Causation – Their failure directly caused your injury.
Damages – You suffered actual losses (medical bills, pain, lost wages, etc.).
Even if you share some fault, Texas’ Proportionate Responsibility Law may still allow you to recover damages — as long as you are less than 51% at fault.
Wrongful Death & Survival Claims
When a tragic accident results in the loss of life, certain surviving family members — such as a spouse, children, or parents — may pursue a wrongful death claim. These claims seek compensation for:
Funeral and burial expenses
Loss of financial support
Loss of companionship
Mental anguish and emotional trauma
A survival action allows the deceased’s estate to recover damages for the suffering and financial losses the person endured before passing.
Damages Available in La Porte Injury Cases
Depending on your case, you may be entitled to several types of compensation:
Economic Damages:
Past and future medical expenses
Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
Property damage
Non-Economic Damages:
Pain and suffering
Emotional distress
Loss of enjoyment of life
Permanent disability or disfigurement
Punitive Damages:
If the defendant’s conduct was especially reckless or intentional, Texas law may permit punitive damages to punish and deter similar behavior.
How Much Is Your Case Worth?
No two cases are the same. The value of your personal injury claim depends on:
The severity of your injuries
Whether you need ongoing or future medical care
How your injuries impact your ability to work
The amount of insurance coverage available
The degree of fault of each party involved
At West & West, LLP, we work with medical professionals, economists, and vocational experts to build a strong case for full compensation.
How Long Do I Have to File a Personal Injury Claim?
Texas law sets a strict 2-year statute of limitations for most personal injury claims. This means you generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit. Exceptions may apply in some cases, so it’s critical to consult with an attorney as soon as possible.
Delaying could result in losing your legal right to seek compensation.
How Much Does It Cost to Hire a La Porte Personal Injury Attorney?
We represent clients on a contingency fee basis. Here’s what that means:
You pay nothing upfront
We cover all legal costs
You only pay if we win
We believe everyone deserves access to justice, regardless of their financial situation. Our firm only gets paid if we recover compensation on your behalf.
