Under modified comparative fault, you can still recover as long as you are 50% or less to blame (Tex. Civ. Prac. &amp; Rem. Code \u00a7 33.001).

If you walked away from a parking-lot tap with no injuries and the other driver&#8217;s insurer pays the repair without a fight, hiring an attorney can cost you more than it returns. We will tell you that straight.<\/p>\n        <p class=\"pia-lead\">Here is the honest line.<\/p>\n        <h3>You probably do not need us if:<\/h3>\n        <ul class=\"pia-list no\">\n          <li>No one was hurt, and you have no pain days later<\/li>\n          <li>The damage is minor and fault is not in question<\/li>\n          <li>The insurer paid your repair in full, fast, no pushback<\/li>\n        <\/ul>\n        <h3>You probably do need us if any of these are true:<\/h3>\n        <ul class=\"pia-list yes\">\n          <li>You went to the ER, needed surgery, or are still hurting<\/li>\n          <li>You missed work, or your hours got cut<\/li>\n          <li>The other driver, or their insurer, is blaming you<\/li>\n          <li>An 18-wheeler, work truck, or rideshare was involved<\/li>\n          <li>The at-fault driver had no insurance, or barely any<\/li>\n          <li>The first offer came in low, or the claim got denied<\/li>\n          <li>Someone died<\/li>\n        <\/ul>\n        <p style=\"margin-top:1.4rem\">That second list is where insurers fight hardest, because that is where the real money is. The moment a Houston adjuster sees a serious claim, their job becomes paying you less; ours becomes making the number match what you actually lost.<\/p>\n        <p>You might feel like hiring a lawyer is overkill, or that the fee will just eat your check. Plenty of Houston drivers felt the same. What they found is that a serious claim handled alone almost always settles for less than the same claim with a firm behind it, even after the fee.<\/p>\n        <p>Not sure which list you are in? A free review costs nothing, and we will tell you honestly whether you need a lawyer at all.<\/p>\n        <p class=\"faq-cta\" style=\"text-align:left\"><a href=\"https:\/\/severeinjurylawyers.com\/contact-us\/\">Start your free case review<\/a>; no cost, and no fee unless we win.<\/p>\n      <\/div>\n      <div class=\"pia-media reveal\">\n        <img src=\"https:\/\/severeinjurylawyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/josh-media-2.webp\" alt=\"Josh Alexander, Houston personal injury attorney at J.

Can I still recover?<\/h3><span class=\"ic\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span><\/button><div class=\"faq-a\"><p>Usually, yes, as long as you are not found mostly at fault. Texas uses modified comparative fault, so you can recover as long as you are 50% or less to blame; the other side just gets to chip away at your share (the 51% bar, Tex. Civ. Prac. &amp; Rem. Code \u00a7 33.001). Insurers push the blame onto you on purpose to shrink the check, and we push back with the crash report, witnesses, and scene evidence.

Texas requires only $30,000 in coverage per person, which rarely covers a serious crash, so we hunt down every policy that could apply; the at-fault driver&#8217;s, an employer&#8217;s if they were working, and your own. One call and we start finding the coverage.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n        <div class=\"faq-item\"><button type=\"button\" class=\"faq-q\" aria-expanded=\"false\"><h3 style=\"margin:0;font-size:inherit;font-weight:inherit;font-family:inherit\">What if I was hit on the Katy Freeway or the Gulf Freeway and the driver took off?<\/h3><span class=\"ic\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span><\/button><div class=\"faq-a\"><p>A hit-and-run does not end your claim; your own uninsured motorist coverage is built for exactly this. Houston&#8217;s freeways see a high share of these, and we move fast to pull TxDOT and toll-tag cameras, 911 calls, and witness accounts to identify the driver while the trail is fresh. The sooner you call, the more of that evidence is still there.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n        <div class=\"faq-item\"><button type=\"button\" class=\"faq-q\" aria-expanded=\"false\"><h3 style=\"margin:0;font-size:inherit;font-weight:inherit;font-family:inherit\">What if the other driver was in a work truck or company vehicle?<\/h3><span class=\"ic\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span><\/button><div class=\"faq-a\"><p>Then their employer&#8217;s insurance is likely on the hook too, not just the driver&#8217;s. A delivery van, an 18-wheeler, or any vehicle driven for work usually carries far higher coverage, and the company will send investigators fast to limit what it pays. Those bigger policies are also why <a href=\"https:\/\/severeinjurylawyers.com\/average-truck-accident-lawsuit-value-in-texas\/\" style=\"color:var(--gold);font-weight:600\">18-wheeler and commercial-truck cases in Texas tend to be worth far more than a typical car crash<\/a>.
