Frequently Asked Questions — Texas City Injury Cases
How long do I have to file an injury claim in Texas City?
Texas gives you 2 years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury lawsuit (§ 16.003). Wrongful death cases follow the same deadline measured from the date of death. Do not wait — insurance companies use delay to their advantage.
Can I recover damages if I was partially at fault for my accident?
Yes. Under Texas's modified comparative fault rule (Chapter 33, Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code), you can still recover as long as you were 50% or less at fault. Your compensation is simply reduced by your percentage of fault.
What damages can I recover in a Texas City injury case?
Recoverable damages include past and future medical bills, lost wages, loss of earning capacity, pain and suffering, mental anguish, and — in cases of gross negligence — punitive damages under § 41.003. Call Chris for a free case evaluation.

Yes. Chris handles personal injury cases across all of Texas, including Galveston County and the Texas City area. You pay nothing unless Chris wins your case.

Texas City Personal Injury Cases — Local Hazards and Highways
The Law Office of Chris Sanchez represents personal injury victims in Texas City and across Galveston County, Texas. Texas City has its own specific traffic patterns, road hazards, and case law venues that affect how an injury claim is built and litigated. Whether your accident happened on I-45, a county farm-to-market road, or a city street, Chris fights for full compensation under Texas modified comparative negligence (Chapter 33 of the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code).
Major Highways and Roads in Texas City
Most Texas City personal injury cases involve one of the following corridors:
- I-45
- TX-146
- Loop 197
Cases involving petrochemical refinery accidents and dock/port worker injuries require fast evidence preservation — surveillance video, electronic logging device data on commercial vehicles, and accident reconstruction. Chris sends preservation letters within 48 hours of being retained on a Texas City case to lock in critical evidence before it disappears.
Where Texas City Personal Injury Lawsuits Are Filed
Most Texas City personal injury lawsuits are filed in Galveston County District Court if damages exceed jurisdictional minimums, or in County Court at Law for smaller claims. Venue selection matters because Galveston County juries return different damage averages than urban Texas juries — Chris evaluates whether to file in Galveston County or a different venue (where allowed by the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code Section 15) based on what produces the highest realistic recovery for your specific case.
What Texas City Injury Victims Should Do First
- Get medical attention at a Galveston County emergency room or urgent care — gaps in treatment hurt cases
- Photograph the scene including I-45 road conditions, signage, and skid marks if applicable
- Get the police report from the responding agency (Galveston County Sheriff, Texas City PD, or DPS) — Texas Form CR-3
- Do not give a recorded statement to the at-fault driver’s insurance — they will use it against you
