Texas Car Accident Attorneys
Car accidents are traumatic experiences that can result in life-altering injuries. If you have been involved in a car accident in Texas and sustained serious injuries, one of the best ways to secure compensation for your medical expenses and other damages is through a personal injury claim.
This is because the state of Texas follows a modified comparative negligence system, which means that as long as you are not more than 50% responsible for the car crash, you can still receive compensation for the unfortunate incident.
However, to ensure that your rights are protected during your claim, receive help while gathering evidence, and strengthen your claim as much as you can, you should consider speaking with a personal injury lawyer.
At Amanda Demanada Injury Lawyers, our car accident attorneys in Texas are more than capable of dealing with any type of car accident claim. No matter how many parties are liable or how challenging your case might be, you deserve proper legal representation.

Types of Car Accident Claims We Take On
Amanda Demanada Injury Lawyers is one of Texas’s leading law firms specializing in car accident cases. Throughout our years of practice and successful representation of car accident victims in different types of cases both in and outside the courtrooms, we have received various accolades and honorary placements in prestigious organizations such as the American Association for Justice—The Association of Trial Lawyers, The National Trial Lawyers Top 100 Trial Lawyers, and the Supreme Court of the State of Texas, among others.
We understand precisely what victims of car accidents have to go through both financially, physically, and emotionally. Among the most common types of car accident cases we take on include:
Rear-end Collisions and Head-on Collisions
Head-on collisions are among the most dangerous types of car accident crashes that can occur on the roads. Victims are often highly susceptible to severe injuries in these types of collisions, such as concussions, traumatic brain injuries, and others.
Regarding rear-end collisions, there is a certain bias that the vehicle that rear-ended the one in front is always to blame for the accident. However, this is not always the case. No matter what type of collision you have been involved in, our Texas personal injury lawyers will always diligently analyze your case’s circumstances to find a resolution and give you a fighting chance at maximizing your compensation claim.
Drunk Driving Accidents
Drivers who are under the influence of alcohol or other substances are more likely to be responsible for car accidents that result in fatalities than others. This is because of their diminished capacity to react to different situations while behind the wheel.
In 2022, there were 1,163 fatalities in motor vehicle crashes in Texas that were linked to impaired driving. If you have been injured or lost a loved one in a car crash in Texas, contact us immediately. Our compassionate car accident lawyers will vigorously work to hold the responsible parties liable.
Distracted Driving Accidents
Distracted driving is one of the most common factors that lead to car accidents worldwide. In 2022, in Texas, there were 244,092 people injured in car crashes, and about 484 perished due to accidents caused by distracted drivers.
Usually, the key difference between distracted driving or drunk driving accidents and regular car collisions is how they occur. A distracted or drunk driver may unwillingly lose control of their vehicle or break traffic law regulations, which results in unexpected collisions with other road participants, pedestrians, or objects.
Intersection Collisions
Most car accidents at intersections occur because drivers run red lights, fail to yield, or break other traffic laws. These types of accidents can range from minor to severe depending on the number of vehicles involved and the force of the crash. Fortunately, some intersections have CCTV cameras, and the likelihood of eyewitnesses’ presence is high, which can be very useful while pursuing a claim.
Single- or Multi-vehicle Collisions
If you were involved in a single- or multi-vehicle collision, the investigative process would differ, and each party would be assigned a percentage of fault. At Amanda Demanda Injury Lawyers, we can help you establish the liable parties and seek compensation.
Texas Car Accident Laws
Car accident cases in Texas are usually pretty straightforward. Since Texas is an at-fault state regarding insurance, the at-fault party and their insurance company are responsible for paying the damages.
Fault in Texas car accidents is determined based on the available evidence, such as photos, videos, police reports, witness statements, or expert reports. Yet, Texas follows a modified comparative fault system.
In this system, parties involved in a car accident are assigned a percentage of fault based on the available evidence and after an investigative process. If you are assigned more than 50% fault, you can no longer pursue compensation for your damages.
However, if your percentage of fault is less than 50%, you can seek compensation, but the percentage assigned to you will be deducted from your final compensation amount. For example, if you are discovered to be 20% at fault for the accident and your total damages award is $100,000, then you will only receive $80,000.
Since you risk losing your right to compensation or having that amount reduced, working alongside Texas accident attorneys is essential to helping you build a strong case.
