Fort Worth's highways, including I-30, I-35W, and I-20, see thousands of crashes every year. If you or a loved one has been injured in a car wreck in Tarrant County, Jose Robles Jr Law Firm is here to protect your rights and pursue every dollar of compensation available under Texas law.
Tarrant County consistently ranks among the most dangerous counties in Texas for traffic fatalities and serious injuries. The interchange of I-30, I-35W, and I-20, known locally as the "Mix-Master," funnels enormous traffic volume through downtown Fort Worth. Distracted driving, speeding, aggressive lane changes, and drunk driving on these corridors cause devastating collisions every single day.
Texas is a tort state, meaning injured drivers can file a claim directly against the at-fault party's liability insurance rather than relying on their own coverage first. While this creates clearer accountability, insurance companies in Texas are aggressive about disputing liability and minimizing payouts. Having an attorney on your side immediately after a wreck is not just helpful. It is essential to protecting the value of your claim.
The forces involved in a car collision can cause injuries that range from soft tissue damage to life-altering trauma. Many injuries, including traumatic brain injuries, internal bleeding, and spinal damage, do not show obvious symptoms at the scene.
The steps you take in the hours and days after a crash directly affect the strength of your case. Under Texas Transportation Code Section 550.023, you are required to stop at the scene and exchange information with the other driver. Call 911 so law enforcement can document the accident in an official crash report. This report is critical evidence that establishes the initial factual record.
Photograph the damage to all vehicles, skid marks, road conditions, traffic signals, and any visible injuries. Collect contact information from witnesses before they leave. Do not give a recorded statement to the other driver's insurance adjuster before speaking with an attorney. Anything you say will be used to minimize or deny your claim. That is their job. Protecting your recovery is ours.
Texas follows the 51% bar rule under the modified comparative fault system. This means that if you are found to be 51% or more at fault for the accident, you cannot recover any compensation. If you are 50% or less at fault, your compensation is reduced by your percentage of responsibility. Insurance companies routinely try to assign partial fault to accident victims to reduce their exposure, sometimes inventing or exaggerating your role in causing the crash. We aggressively defend against these tactics and build evidence-based cases that establish clear liability.
