Understanding Personal Injury Law in Houston

In Houston and throughout Harris County, accidents happen every day—from car crashes on the highways to slip-and-fall incidents at commercial properties. Many victims don't realize that negligence by another party creates a legal right to compensation. Texas law recognizes this principle, and an experienced personal injury lawyer is essential to hold wrongdoers accountable.

Personal injury claims cover a wide range of incidents: car accidents, truck collisions, motorcycle crashes, premises liability incidents, and more. What qualifies as "personal injury" in Texas is broad. If someone else's negligence caused your injury, you likely have a claim. This includes negligent drivers, property owners who fail to maintain safe conditions, businesses that ignore hazards, and insurance companies that refuse to honor valid claims.

Many victims feel pressured to accept quick settlements from insurance companies. These adjusters are trained to minimize payouts. In the Houston area—whether you live in Katy, Sugar Land, The Woodlands, or other neighborhoods throughout Harris County—it's critical to understand the Texas statute of limitations. You have exactly two years from the date of your injury to file a lawsuit. After that deadline, your claim expires. Call CDF Law at (832) 945-1900 to discuss your case immediately.

The Cedrick D. Forrest Law Firm pursues full compensation under Texas law. We handle your claim on a contingency fee basis—no upfront costs, no fee unless we win. We've built our reputation fighting for clients across Harris County, from Pasadena to Pearland, from Baytown to Friendswood. Let us fight for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common Questions About Personal Injury Claims in Texas

How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Texas? +
Texas follows a two-year statute of limitations for most personal injury claims under Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code § 16.003. This means you have two years from the date of your injury to file a lawsuit. Contact CDF Law immediately for a free case evaluation.
What damages can I recover in a Texas personal injury case? +
Texas allows recovery of economic damages (medical bills, lost wages, future medical care, property damage) and non-economic damages (pain and suffering, mental anguish, loss of enjoyment of life, disfigurement). In cases involving egregious conduct, punitive damages may also be available.
Does Texas follow a comparative fault rule? +
Yes. Texas uses modified comparative fault under Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code § 33.001. You can recover as long as you are less than 51% responsible. Your damages are reduced by your percentage of fault.
How much does hiring a personal injury attorney cost? +
CDF Law works exclusively on a contingency fee basis — you pay zero upfront. Our fee is a percentage of the recovery, paid only when we win. If we don't recover compensation for you, you owe nothing.
What should I do immediately after being injured? +
Seek medical attention immediately, document the scene with photos, get witness contact information, report the incident, and contact CDF Law before speaking to any insurance adjuster.
