Local context

The legal terrain of Texas

Texas operates under modified comparative fault. If you are 51 percent or more at fault, many injury claims may be precluded. Certain medical and government claims are subject to damage caps. Cases originating from the Houston Ship Channel and West Texas energy sites frequently 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.
