Common Causes of Car Accidents in Texas

Most car accidents are preventable. In many cases, they are caused by negligent or reckless driving. Our firm has extensive experience identifying and proving driver negligence, including:

  • Speeding

  • Texting while driving

  • Drunk or drug-impaired driving

  • Tailgating

  • Illegal turns

  • Unsafe lane changes

  • Drowsy driving

  • Running red lights or stop signs

We build strong cases by gathering evidence, securing expert testimony, and handling negotiations with insurance companies aggressively and professionally.

Understanding Personal Injury Protection (PIP)

In Texas, insurance providers are required to offer Personal Injury Protection (PIP), which helps cover medical expenses and a portion of lost income after an accident. While drivers can decline this coverage, it can be a valuable safety net. We’ll help you understand your coverage and how it may apply to your claim.

What to Do After a Car Accident in Houston

If you’re involved in a car accident, here are essential steps to protect your rights:

  • Call 911 – Get police and emergency medical help on the scene.

  • Document the scene – Take photos/videos of vehicles, injuries, and road conditions.

  • Exchange information – Collect contact and insurance details from all parties involved.

  • Seek medical care – Even if you feel fine, get evaluated. Some injuries develop later.

  • Contact Salinas Defense – The sooner you involve us, the better we can preserve evidence and start building your case.

Compensation You May Be Entitled To

After a serious car accident, you may be entitled to compensation for:

  • Medical expenses (current and future)

  • Lost income and loss of earning capacity

  • Dolor y sufrimiento

  • Angustia emocional

  • Property damage

  • Permanent disability or disfigurement

Our team is committed to maximizing your recovery and helping you rebuild your life.

Time is Limited — Texas Statute of Limitations

Texas law gives you two years from the date of your accident to file a personal injury claim. If you miss this deadline, you may lose your right to compensation entirely. Don’t delay — speak with our legal team today so we can begin protecting your rights.

Can Passengers File a Claim?

Yes. Injured passengers can often file a claim against the at-fault driver’s insurance — even if that driver was operating the vehicle you were riding in. Every case is unique, and we can help you determine the best course of action based on the details of your situation.

Will My Case Go to Trial?

Most car accident claims are resolved through negotiation or settlement — but we prepare every case for trial. At Salinas Defense, we build strong cases from day one and are never afraid to go to court if that’s what it takes to secure fair compensation for you.
