Frequently Asked Questions
What is my car accident case worth?
Case value depends on several factors: severity of injuries, medical expenses (past and future), lost wages, impact on earning capacity, pain and suffering, and the at-fault driver’s insurance coverage. Minor injury cases with clear liability may settle for $5,000-$25,000, while cases with serious injuries, surgery, or permanent disability can reach six or seven figures. There is no reliable online calculator, every case is unique. Mario Yague Law evaluates your case for free and gives you a realistic range based on Texas case law and local jury verdicts.
How do I prove the other driver was at fault?
Fault in Texas auto accidents is proven through: 1) The police report (responding officer’s assessment), 2) Photos and video of the scene, 3) Witness statements, 4) Traffic camera or dashcam footage, 5) Cell phone records (showing distracted driving), 6) Vehicle damage analysis, and 7) Accident reconstruction experts in serious cases. Texas follows a modified comparative fault rule, you can recover damages as long as you are 50% or less at fault. Mario Yague Law works with investigators and experts to build the strongest liability case possible.
What if I'm partially at fault for the accident?
Texas uses modified comparative fault under Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code Section 33.001. If you are 50% or less at fault, you can still recover damages, but your award is reduced by your fault percentage. Example: if your damages total $100,000 and you are found 20% at fault, you recover $80,000. If you are 51% or more at fault, you recover nothing. Insurance adjusters often try to assign more fault to victims to reduce payouts. An attorney protects you from unfair fault allocation. Mario Yague Law fights aggressively to minimize fault attributed to clients.
