How Common Are Texas Car Accidents?
Car accidents are alarmingly frequent across Texas. From major cities like Dallas and Houston to small rural towns, collisions are a widespread issue that affects thousands of drivers each year. Whether you’re commuting daily or just passing through, the risk of an accident is a serious reality on Texas roads.
What Causes Most Texas Car Accidents?
In Texas, accidents happen for many reasons:
- Distracted driving, like texting or handling GPS apps
- Speeding, especially on highways and rural roads
- Drunk or impaired driving, particularly late nights and weekends
- Tailgating and sudden lane changes, often in heavy traffic
- Adverse weather and road conditions, especially in coastal areas
These issues often contribute to serious collisions. If negligence played a role, we’ll fight to hold the right party accountable.

What Kinds of Damages Are Available to Car Accident Victims?
If someone else’s negligence caused your car accident, you may be entitled to seek compensation—known as “damages”—to help you recover physically, emotionally, and financially.
Economic Damages
These are the tangible, out-of-pocket costs resulting from the accident. They typically include:
- Medical expenses (past and future)
- Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
- Vehicle repair or replacement costs
- Other financial losses tied directly to the crash
Because these losses are often immediate and substantial, recovering economic damages is a crucial step toward regaining financial stability after a crash.
Non-Economic Damages
Non-economic damages address the personal, less measurable impacts of an accident, such as:
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Physical disfigurement or disability
Though harder to quantify, these damages recognize the profound personal toll a serious accident can have on your quality of life.
Exemplary (Punitive) Damages
In Texas, exemplary damages—also known as punitive damages—may be awarded in cases involving especially reckless or malicious behavior, such as drunk driving or extreme negligence. These damages are designed to punish the wrongdoer and serve as a warning to others, rather than to compensate the victim directly.
How Much Does It Cost to Hire a Car Accident Lawyer?
At Benton Accident & Injury Lawyers, we work on a contingency fee basis.
That means:
- You don’t pay upfront
- We only get paid if we win your case
- Our fee comes from the settlement or verdict, not your pocket
During your free case evaluation, we’ll explain exactly how our fee structure works for you.
How Long Do I Have to File a Lawsuit After a Car Accident in Texas?
Texas law generally gives you two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. Missing this deadline usually ends your legal rights to pursue compensation. While some exceptions exist, it’s always best to act as quickly as possible. The sooner you call us, the better we can preserve your rights and collect vital evidence.
