Car accident settlement values in Texas depend on several factors — injury severity, liability clarity, insurance limits, and evidence quality. CDF Law analyzes each of these to give clients a realistic assessment of case value.
Factors That Affect Texas Car Accident Settlement Values
- Severity and permanence of injuries
- Whether surgery was required
- Amount of medical bills (past and future)
- Lost income (past and future)
- Liability clarity — whose fault was the accident?
- Available insurance coverage
- Strength of evidence (photos, witnesses, police report, black box data)
- Whether comparative fault applies under Texas law
Texas Comparative Fault and Your Settlement
Under Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code §33.001, your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault — and eliminated entirely if you are more than 50% at fault. CDF Law works to minimize any fault attributed to you.
