What Damages Are You Entitled to in an Auto Accident Claim in Arlington?
In Texas, car accident claims can lead to three types of damages:
- Economic damages: Measurable costs related to your accident, such as medical bills, in-home medical equipment, or lost wages
- Non-economic damages: non-financial losses such as pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of quality of life
- Exemplary damages: Damages the court awards to punish the defendant for their harmful behavior that led to the victim’s injuries
Our Arlington car accident lawyers will work hard to identify all damages you incurred and estimate the compensation you deserve. We leave no loss behind because you deserve full compensation.
Statute of Limitations for Car Accident Cases in Texas
The Texas statute of limitations for car accidents is two years from the accident date. You must file a claim within that time. If you fail to file your personal injury claim within the required time, you risk permanently forfeiting your right to legal action.
Specific exceptions may exist, including when:
- The plaintiff is underage or mentally unsound.
- The defendant is absent from Texas.
- Either party has passed away.
How Is Fault Determined in a Car Accident Lawsuit in Arlington?
Determining fault in a personal injury case requires identifying all parties responsible for the crash.
To identify parties that are legally liable or responsible for the crash, you must demonstrate that:
- The defendant owed a duty of care to avoid harming others.
- The defendant breached that duty of care.
- The plaintiff suffered a loss or injury.
- The defendant’s breach of duty caused the plaintiff’s loss or injury.
What if I Am Partially at Fault in an Arlington Car Accident?
Texas comparative negligence rules state that crash victims can be compensated for damages they suffered in a car accident if they were no more than 50 percent at fault for the crash.
If you are partially at fault for the accident, any compensation awarded will be reduced by the percentage of fault assigned to you. For example, if your damages are $100,000 but you are found to be 20 percent at fault for the accident, you will only receive 80 percent, or $80,000.
Fault percentages depend on drivers’ actions and how they contributed to the incident. Minimizing your fault percentage can ensure you get the compensation you deserve.

What Are the Common Causes of Car Accidents in Arlington, Texas?
You deserve to know that Arlington’s roads are safe to drive on. Unfortunately, many drivers don’t fulfill their public duty to keep others safe on the road.
Many Arlington motor vehicle accidents are due to unsafe driver behaviors such as:
- Reckless driving
- Driving under the influence
- Hit-and-run accidents
- Rear-end collisions
- Failure to yield the right of way
- Distracted driving
- Excessive speeding
Some parts of Arlington see more crashes than others. The Sublett Road and Matlock Road crossing is one of the city’s most dangerous intersections. The High Injury Network, a project of Safe Streets Arlington, has recorded five crashes on Green Oaks Blvd alone.
