Texas Personal Injury Laws in San Antonio
Modified Comparative Fault
Texas proportionate-responsibility law can reduce a claimant’s recovery by the percentage of responsibility assigned to that claimant. Under Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code Section 33.001, a claimant who is more than 50 percent responsible generally can’t recover damages. However, if you are less than 50% at fault, you may still be able to recover compensation at a rate reduced by your percentage of fault. Fault determinations depend on the evidence, and insurers may dispute responsibility after a crash or other incident.
Statute of Limitations
Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code Section 16.003 generally gives injured people two years after a claim accrues to file many personal injury lawsuits. Exceptions and different deadlines can apply, so it’s important to seek advice about a specific claim rather than rely on a general deadline.
Damages Caps
Most ordinary personal injury claims don’t have a general damages cap. Health care liability claims, often called medical malpractice claims, have statutory limits on certain non-economic damages under Texas law. Whether those claim-specific rules apply depends on the facts and legal basis of the case.
For statute citations and more detail on how comparative fault is determined and what may happen if a case goes to trial, see our complete guide to the San Antonio personal injury claims process →
Proving Negligence in Personal Injury Claims
A personal injury claim generally requires evidence that another party owed you a duty of care, breached that duty, caused harm, and you suffered damages. Our accident lawyer looks closely at industry and safety rules that may apply, including company policies for commercial drivers and property-maintenance standards for local businesses. Violations can provide evidence of negligence.
Our investigation can include police or incident reports, accident-scene review, witness interviews, photographs or video, medical records, employment records, and communications with insurers. The responsible party may not always be the person who directly caused the incident, particularly in employment, premises, commercial-vehicle, and product-liability matters.
Compensation in Personal Injury Cases
Economic Damages
These cover measurable financial losses such as medical expenses (current and future), lost wages and future earning capacity, property damage, and rehabilitation and therapy costs, including related out-of-pocket expenses like travel to medical appointments and home or vehicle modifications.
Non-Economic Damages
Non-economic damages compensate for intangible losses, including pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, and disfigurement or disability. Documenting these harms often involves more than medical records. Journals, statements from loved ones, and descriptions of daily challenges can help convey the full human cost of the injury.
Punitive Damages
In rare cases involving extreme negligence or intentional misconduct (drunk driving, street racing, repeated safety violations by a company), Texas courts may award punitive damages to punish the wrongdoer and deter similar conduct.

They are very familiar with workman’s comp as well. I would highly recommend them!”- Brittany E. (Google Review)

I had an excellent experience working with KRW Law Firm after my car accident. From the very beginning, their team was professional, responsive, and genuinely cared about my well-being. They took the time to explain every step of the process in a way that was easy to understand, which gave me a lot of peace of mind during a stressful time.
What stood out most was their dedication and attention to detail. They handled everything efficiently and kept me informed throughout the entire case. I never felt like just another client—they truly made me feel supported and prioritized.
Thanks to their hard work and expertise, my case was settled successfully, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the outcome. I highly recommend this firm to anyone in need of legal assistance after an accident. They go above and beyond to deliver results while treating their clients with care and respect.

“I was involved in an accident, and I was referred to KRW (Scott, specifically). I had never used a personal injury attorney. I never had the need to. Scott explained the entire process and walked me through it. His first-hand knowledge of insurance companies is invaluable. The insurance company made an initial offer, and he got us 6X that. Not to mention, Scott and his professional team were a pleasure to deal with. I hope I don't have to use a personal injury attorney again, but if I do, I'm calling KRW. No question.”- Wes M.
