Frequently Asked Questions

Under Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code Section 16.003, most personal injury claims must be filed within two years of the date of the accident. Missing this deadline generally bars you from recovering compensation, regardless of how strong the case is. Rich Hyde can review the specific facts of your case during a free consultation.

How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit in Fort Worth, Texas?

Yes, under Texas’s modified comparative negligence rule (Civil Practice and Remedies Code Section 33.001), you can recover damages as long as you are not found more than 50% at fault. Your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault, and you are barred from recovery entirely if you are found 51% or more responsible.

Can I still recover compensation if I was partly at fault for my accident?

Seek medical attention, report the accident to police, and document the scene with photos if possible. Avoid giving a recorded statement to the other driver’s insurance company before speaking with an attorney. Rich Hyde and his team can help preserve evidence and handle communications with insurers early in the process.

What should I do after a car accident in Fort Worth?

No. Texas follows a negligence-based rule rather than strict liability, meaning a dog bite victim generally must show the owner knew or should have known the dog was dangerous, or that the owner was otherwise negligent (for example, violating a leash law). Rich Hyde’s firm handles dog bite claims across Fort Worth and Tarrant County.

Is a dog owner automatically liable for a dog bite in Texas?

Liability in a trucking accident can extend beyond the driver to the trucking company, a cargo loading company, or a vehicle maintenance provider, depending on what caused the crash. Federal trucking regulations often factor into these cases. Rich Hyde’s firm investigates each party’s role before filing a claim.
