The Humble Office of the Law Office of Bryan Fagan, PLLC proudly serves accident victims throughout Humble, Atascocita, Kingwood, and Northeast Houston by helping them understand their legal rights after a collision. Texas law offers strong protections for those injured due to another driver’s negligence—but insurance companies often rely on confusion and misinformation to reduce or deny valid claims.
Our Humble attorneys ensure that victims understand exactly what they are entitled to, how fault is determined, what types of compensation may be available, and how to avoid the mistakes that many people unknowingly make after an accident. Whether your crash occurred in Humble or anywhere in the Houston area, our team works tirelessly to protect your rights and secure the full value of your injury claim.
Your Legal Rights After an Accident in Texas
Texas follows a fault-based (tort) system, meaning the driver who caused the accident is financially responsible for damages. Below are your key legal rights under Texas injury law.
Right to Full Compensation for Damages
If you were injured due to another driver’s negligence, you may be entitled to compensation for:
- Emergency room treatment
- Follow-up medical care
- Future medical needs
- Lost wages and lost earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Physical impairment
- Property damage and rental car costs
- Scarring or disfigurement
- Loss of enjoyment of life
Our Humble Office calculates your total damages, not the minimal amount the insurer offers.
Right to Hold Negligent Drivers Accountable
Negligence may include:
- Distracted driving (texting, phone use)
- Speeding or reckless driving
- Drunk or impaired driving
- Failing to yield
- Running stoplights or stop signs
- Tailgating
- Unsafe lane changes
We collect the evidence needed to prove fault and defend you against false blame.
Right to Decline Insurance Company Pressure
You are NOT required to:
- Give a recorded statement
- Sign medical release forms
- Accept the insurance company’s first offer
- Go through the at-fault driver’s preferred repair shop
- Admit fault
Our attorneys handle all communication so adjusters cannot trick or pressure you.
Right to Maintain Medical Privacy
Insurance companies do not have unlimited access to your medical history.
You have the right to:
- Limit disclosure
- Approve only relevant records
- Decline overly broad authorizations
We protect your privacy at all times.
Right to Hire an Attorney at No Upfront Cost
Texas injury attorneys—including our Humble Office—work on a contingency fee basis, meaning:
- No upfront fees
- No hourly billing
- You pay only if we win
This ensures every accident victim has access to legal representation.
Right to File Your Case Within the Texas Statute of Limitations
Texas law allows 2 years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit.
Failing to file on time could permanently prevent you from recovering compensation.
Right to Access and Use Evidence
You are legally entitled to request and use:
- Police crash reports
- Surveillance video
- Dashcam footage
- 911 call recordings
- Body cam video (when available)
- Medical records
