Injured in a Car Accident? Here’s What Every Texas Driver Should Know

A car accident can change your life in an instant. One moment you’re driving home from work or running an errand — the next, you’re left with a damaged vehicle, painful injuries, and a flood of questions about what to do next.

At The Law Office of Bryan Rodriguez, we understand how devastating the aftermath of a crash can be. Between medical bills, lost income, and dealing with insurance adjusters, the stress can feel overwhelming. Our mission is to help accident victims regain control, recover full compensation, and move forward with confidence.

Understanding Motor Vehicle Accidents in Texas

Every year, tens of thousands of people in Texas are injured or killed in car crashes. Many of these collisions are not “accidents” — they’re the direct result of negligence. Drivers who text behind the wheel, speed through intersections, or drive while impaired put everyone on the road at risk.

Common causes of motor vehicle accidents include:

• Distracted driving, including texting, eating, or adjusting navigation systems

• Speeding and reckless driving

• Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol

• Failure to yield or running red lights

• Fatigued driving, particularly on long highways

When someone’s careless actions cause harm, they should be held accountable — and that’s exactly what we fight for.

Types of Injuries Caused by Car Accidents

Even a “minor” crash can lead to serious physical trauma. Common injuries include:

• Whiplash and soft tissue injuries

• Back, neck, and spinal cord damage

• Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)

• Broken bones and internal injuries

• Psychological trauma, including anxiety or PTSD

These injuries often require ongoing treatment, rehabilitation, and time away from work. Our firm ensures that every dollar of your loss — past, present, and future — is factored into your claim.

Your Legal Rights After a Crash

Texas follows a modified comparative negligence rule, meaning you can still recover damages even if you were partially at fault — as long as you were not more than 50% responsible for the crash. However, insurance companies often exploit this rule to reduce payouts.

That’s why it’s critical to have an attorney who understands Texas law and knows how to push back against unfair tactics.

You may be entitled to compensation for:

• Medical expenses and rehabilitation costs

• Lost wages and diminished earning capacity

• Vehicle repair or replacement

• Pain, suffering, and emotional distress

• Long-term disability or disfigurement

What to Do Immediately After an Accident

After a crash, taking the right steps can protect your health and strengthen your legal case:

1. Get medical attention right away — even if you feel fine. Some injuries take days to appear.

2. Call the police and request an accident report.

3. Take photos of the scene, vehicle damage, and any visible injuries.

4. Collect contact information for the other driver and any witnesses.

5. Do not give recorded statements to insurance companies before consulting an attorney.

The sooner you contact a lawyer, the better your chances of preserving evidence and building a strong claim.
