Legal Rights & Texas Injury Law

The Dallas Office of the Law Office of Bryan Fagan, PLLC is dedicated to protecting the legal rights of accident victims throughout North Texas—especially those injured while traveling in Houston. Whether your collision happened on I-45, Highway 75, the Galleria area, or a Dallas freeway, Texas injury laws give you powerful protections that insurance companies rarely explain.

Our Dallas attorneys ensure that clients fully understand their rights under Texas law, know what compensation they may be entitled to, and are equipped to fight back against insurance companies that often attempt to undervalue or deny claims. From establishing fault to negotiating fair settlements, our team provides the legal clarity and strong advocacy you need during your recovery.

Texas is a fault-based state. This means the party that caused the accident is legally and financially responsible for your damages.

Here’s what that means for you:

Right to Full Financial Compensation

Accident victims in Texas can pursue compensation for:

  • Emergency room bills & ongoing medical treatment
  • Future medical needs & rehabilitation
  • Lost wages & reduced earning ability
  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress & mental anguish
  • Loss of mobility or quality of life
  • Property damage & rental car expenses
  • Scarring or disfigurement

Our Dallas Office calculates the true value of your claim—not what the insurance company wants to pay.

Right to Hold Negligent Drivers Accountable

Texas negligence laws allow you to recover damages if the other driver was careless, such as:

  • Speeding or reckless driving
  • Distracted driving (texting, phone use)
  • Drunk or drug-impaired driving
  • Unsafe lane changes
  • Running red lights or stop signs
  • Tailgating
  • Failing to yield

We gather evidence to prove fault clearly and protect you from false blame.

Right to Decline Insurance Company Requests

Insurance companies often pressure victims to:

  • Give recorded statements
  • Sign medical releases
  • Accept low early settlements
  • Admit partial fault

You do NOT have to do any of this.
Our attorneys step in to protect your rights and prevent harmful tactics.

Right to Medical Privacy

You are not required to give insurers unlimited access to your medical history.
We ensure insurance companies only receive information that is legally necessary.

Texas law allows accident victims to hire an attorney with:

  • No upfront fees
  • No hourly billing
  • No payment unless you win

Our Dallas team is committed to making justice accessible for all.

Right to File a Claim Within the Statute of Limitations

Texas gives you 2 years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit.

Failing to file in time may permanently bar your claim.

Right to Access Crucial Evidence

Victims (and their attorneys) have the right to request:

  • Police crash reports
  • Medical records
  • Body cam footage (when available)
  • Dashcam footage
  • 911 call recordings
  • Surveillance footage

Our Dallas Office retrieves all necessary evidence—even when the accident happened in Houston.
