How Partial Liability Law Affects Your Case in Texas
If the person who caused your injuries blames you for any portion of the accident, it could affect your compensation. It does not have to prevent you from receiving any compensation at all.
According to Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code § 33.001, you can still recover compensation as long as 50% or less of the accident’s cause is contributed to you. Our investigation will ensure the cause of the accident is assigned to the appropriate party. If any fault is assigned to you, we work hard to ensure an accurate percentage of liability.

How Our Waxahachie Personal Injury Lawyer Proves Your Right to Recover Damages
To hold the at-fault person or entity responsible for compensating you, our law firm will prove their negligence. The legal components of negligence include the following:
- Duty of care — the at-fault party bore responsibility to act in a reasonable manner and protect your safety
- Breach of duty — the at-fault party acted in a way (or failed to act) that placed you in harm’s way
- Causation — the at-fault party’s negligence caused the accident and your subsequent injuries
- Damages — the accident and your injuries have financial consequences
Once negligence is proven, the majority of personal injury cases settle out of court. At Clay Jenkins & Associates, we collect the evidence that proves negligence. Our personal injury attorney representing Waxahachie will use it to drive favorable negotiations.
Economic and Non-Economic Damages You Can Recover
After an accidental injury, you can recover the costs of damages that have — or will have — out-of-pocket costs. Called economic damages, they include:
- Past, present, and future medical bills
- Past, present, and future lost wages
- Property damage, loss, or diminished value
We also help you recover non-economic damages. These can be more challenging to accurately value since they will not have the receipts and bills economic damages have. Our team’s familiarity with personal injury law means we know how to document the following non-economic damages:
- Ongoing physical pain and suffering
- Physical disability or disfigurement
- Mental and emotional distress
If a loved one was fatally injured, specific family members could also be entitled to file a wrongful death action. In most cases, the decedent’s parents, spouse, or children can request compensation for funeral and burial costs and a range of additional damages.

We Ensure Compliance with Texas’ Statute of Limitations
The statute of limitations is an important part of your personal injury or wrongful death case. In Waxahachie, Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code § 16.003 gives you up to two years to file either type of case. How the statutory clock defines your filing deadline depends on the outcome of your accident.
Accordingly:
- You generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit.
- You generally have two years from the date of a loved one’s demise to file a wrongful death lawsuit.
If the statute of limitations expires, you will not be able to file your lawsuit at all. If you do file late, the at-fault party will request an immediate dismissal — a request that is likely to be granted. Either outcome could leave you with no legal avenue to compel compensation. Our law firm will ensure your case is filed on time.
