What Is Needed To Win A Car Accident Lawsuit In
Texas?
2
Car accident lawsuits in Texas are used to help
victims get their lives back after theyve been
hurt. The Law Office of Julie Johnson has over 25
years of experience fighting for the rights of
car accident victims. Insurance companies dont
usually go out of their way to treat victims
fairly when it comes to paying medical expenses,
time missed from work, and for the damage to the
vehicle.

However, not all car accident lawsuits are
successful. To win a car accident lawsuit in
Texas, the facts involved in the case must meet
fulfil certain elements related to a specific
legal concept, negligence. In this post, youre
going to learn more about the elements for
negligence. If you can recognize them in the
facts surrounding your car accident, call Julie
Johnson at 214-290-8001. She is available 24

Negligence is the legal concept on which Texas
car accident lawsuits are based. At its basic
level, it means that someone acted in a way that
caused another person to suffer from some type of
loss. With a car accident, the loss could be a
physical injury, medical bills, lost wages,
temporary or permanent disability, the need for
ongoing medical care, damage to the vehicle, and
pain and suffering.

Two Additional Points about Winning a Car
Accident Lawsuit in Texas
The first is contributory negligence. In Texas,
the plaintiff is only eligible for compensation
if they are less than 51 responsible for the
accident.
The second additional point is how long you have
to file a car accident lawsuit. If you were
involved in a car accident, you only have two
years from the date of the accident to file the
lawsuit.
