Without knowing more about the facts of your particular case it sounds like your son was negligent for "Failure to Keep a Proper Lookout" and "Failure to Timely Apply Brakes" and possibly "Failure to Control Speed." These are all violations of the Texas Transportation Code. The state has 2 years to file any case on a class C misdemeanor, like traffic tickets are. You may want to speak with a knowledgeable attorney in personal injury. If indeed the car ahead had no tail lights and no turn...

I agree with Mr. Scott. Call your attorney and set up an office appointment. If he won't meet with you after two requests file a grievance with State Bar of Texas.

A lot of P.I. attorneys in Texas - which has been hit hard with TORT REFORM LEGISLATION - cannot afford to take on a Personal Injury case with minor injuries and only $2,000 in medical bills because the lawyers may have to work on your case for 6 months to a year and get 1/3 of the recovery, which might be only $3,000 for a case like this. That means a lawyer could work 6 months on your case and get paid only $1,000. This makes it not economically feasible to accept a case like yours. You can...

Both attorneys are correct in that state colleges and universities are governmental entities with their own rules and statutes that govern liability and notice requirements. If you want to give me a call I can discuss your case with you at no charge. 512-708-1650. www.kevinmadison.com

My friend, it is clear that his insurance carrier is playing games with you and it is time to "lawyer up." The fact that an insurance carrier isn't begging to settle with you when their insured was drunk and hit you is an indicator that they are not taking you seriously. Feel free to contact me if you would like to discuss your case with absolutely no obligation to hire my firm. We handle drunk driver cases throughout Texas and we have handled many different cases in the Dallas area. I am a...

I agree with Mr. Lassen- if you had insurance coverage, your own insurance carrier will pay this claim. If you did not have insurance then you are in violation of state law and you should honor your payment arrangement. However, the defendant cannot strip your driver's license from you unless and until they obtain a judgment against you in a court of law and you fail to pay the judgment. Contact your insurance company if you had insurance. If not, you should pay the settlement agreement but...

If your collision occurred in December of 2007 I hope that your attorney already filed a lawsuit because the statute of limitations in Texas for personal injury is only 2 years. That means you must file suit and serve the defendant before the expiration of 2 years from the date of the collision or you lose your right to pursue the defendant who caused the collision and who is responsible for your injuries. If your attorney did NOT file suit, you have a claim against your attorney for malpractice.

No they do not and usually will not. Retain an attorney to help you.

I hope that he filed a lawsuit because, in Texas, the statute of limitations for personal injury negligence actions is only TWO YEARS. This means you have to sue and serve all defendants responsible for your injuries before the expiration of two years from the date of the collision, which obviously had to be prior to Sep. 2010. If a lawsuit was filed then you are probably okay. If a lawsuit was not filed, then you, most likely, would be barred from going after the defendants and you might...
