Fault & the 51% bar rule in Texas
Texas uses modified comparative negligence. If you are ≤50% at fault, your award is reduced by that percentage; ≥51% bars recovery. Insurers often try to pin blame on riders—our team counters with evidence, witnesses, reconstruction, and expert testimony.
Deadlines: how long do you have?
- General statute of limitations: 2 years from the crash.
- Government claims: strict notice deadlines (often ≤6 months).
Act quickly so we can preserve video, EDR data, and witness memories.
