What Goes Into a Texas Car Accident Settlement
Economic damages come first. These are the documented, provable numbers: emergency care, imaging, surgery, physical therapy, future medical treatment recommended by your physicians, prescription costs, mileage to appointments, property damage, and lost wages or lost earning capacity if the injury limits what you can do at work.
Non-economic damages cover pain, physical impairment, disfigurement, and mental anguish. There is no fixed formula in Texas — no statute multiplies your medical bills by a set number. Value depends on the severity and permanence of the injury, how well it is documented in the medical record, gaps in treatment, and how a jury in the county where suit is filed is likely to view the case.
Fault percentage then adjusts everything. Texas uses modified comparative fault under Civil Practice & Remedies Code Chapter 33: your recovery is reduced by your share of responsibility, and if you are found more than 50% at fault, you recover nothing. Insurance adjusters push fault onto injured drivers precisely because every percentage point lowers what they pay.
Available insurance is the practical ceiling. Texas minimum liability coverage is 30/60/25 — $30,000 per person, $60,000 per accident, $25,000 property damage. When injuries exceed the at-fault driver's policy, the case turns on stacking additional sources: your own uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage, PIP or MedPay, an employer's commercial policy if the driver was working, or an umbrella policy.
Finally, liens and case costs come off the top: hospital liens under Texas Property Code Chapter 55, health insurance or ERISA subrogation, Medicare/Medicaid reimbursement, and litigation expenses. Negotiating those balances down is one of the most direct ways a lawyer increases what a client actually keeps.
No two claims are alike, and no lawyer can promise a result. If you want an honest read on the specific facts of your crash, call or text 832-261-5500 for a free case review — Houston, Bryan, College Station, and across Texas.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a formula for calculating a Texas car accident settlement?
No. Texas law does not set a multiplier or formula. Value is built from documented economic losses, non-economic damages supported by the medical record, your comparative fault percentage, and the insurance actually available to pay.
How does fault reduce my settlement in Texas?
Under Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code Chapter 33, your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault, and you recover nothing if you are found more than 50% at fault. This is why insurers work so hard to assign blame to the injured driver.
What if the at-fault driver's insurance is not enough?
Texas minimum limits are 30/60/25. When damages exceed those limits, we look for additional coverage — your uninsured/underinsured motorist policy, PIP or MedPay, a commercial or employer policy if the driver was on the job, or an umbrella policy.
Do medical bills get paid out of the settlement?
Usually yes. Hospital liens, health insurer subrogation, and Medicare or Medicaid reimbursement are resolved from the recovery. Negotiating those balances down directly increases your net amount.
How long does a Texas car accident settlement take?
It depends on how long treatment lasts, whether liability is disputed, and whether suit is filed. Most claims are not settled responsibly until you reach maximum medical improvement so future care can be valued.
How long do I have to file a claim in Texas?
Generally two years from the crash date under Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code §16.003. Claims against governmental entities can carry notice deadlines as short as 90 days.
What does it cost to hire Calderon Legal Group?
Nothing upfront. We work on contingency — you pay only if we recover for you. Every case is different and past results do not guarantee future outcomes.
