In addition, many vehicle accidents result in financial devastation because of the inability to perform common duties at work.

Auto Accident Laws in Texas
If you were involved in an auto accident, it is critically important to understand your legal obligations as stipulated by Texas law.
How to Report a Car Crash in Sugar Land, TX
Texas Transportation Code section 550.026 states the driver of any type of vehicle that is involved in an auto accident must report the accident if there is an “injury or death of any person” and/or “damage to a vehicle to the extent that it cannot be safely driven from the scene.” Moreover, Texas law stipulates the drivers involved in a car accident “must immediately (“by the quickest means of communication”) report the accident to the local police department (if the accident occurred in a municipality) or to the local sheriff’s office (if the crash occurred outside a municipality).”
What is the Statute of Limitations?
You probably have heard the term “Statute of limitations” when it comes to criminal defense cases. The term has a similar meaning for vehicle crashes that occur in the Lone Star State. Statute of limitations for an auto accident defines the amount of time a plaintiff has to file a lawsuit in a civil court. Texas law requires plaintiffs to file civil lawsuits within two years of the date of a car crash. The date of a vehicle accident is found at the top of the original accident report.
In some cases, the Texas statute of limitations for auto accidents is different from two years. This is another reason why it is important to work with a Texas licensed personal injury attorney like Adam Capetillo, since Mr. Capetillo will be able to find out what is the statute of limitations for your auto accident case.

Many personal injury lawyers focus only on the litigation aspect of an auto accident case. At Capetillo Law Firm, we make sure the clients that have suffered from a car crash receive the medical treatment and rehabilitation services required to get back to a normal daily routine.
Determine the Monetary Value of Pain and Suffering
Our team of auto accident lawyers calculate an accurate value of all the costs associated with an auto accident. We include both economic and non-economic factors in our calculations. This step requires documentation that we present during a civil court hearing.
