When a Crash Turns Your Life Upside Down
A serious car accident can change your life in seconds. Medical bills pile up, your car is totaled, and the insurance company pressures you to settle fast — often for pennies on the dollar.
That’s when you need a bulldog in your corner.
At The Miller Law Firm – Home of The Texas Bulldog, we fight hard for people hurt in car, truck, and 18-wheeler crashes across Houston and all of Texas. Attorney Adam H. Miller, known as The Texas Bulldog, is relentless in his pursuit of justice — and insurance companies know it.
We help clients recover compensation for medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, and future damages.
Why You Need a Car Accident Injury Attorney
Insurance companies are not on your side. Their goal is to save money, not protect your rights.
Here’s why hiring a car accident injury attorney matters:
- We handle the insurance fight – Insurers use delay tactics and lowball offers. We push back with evidence, case law, and aggressive negotiation.
- We build leverage fast – From crash reports to black-box data, we collect everything that proves fault.
- We calculate real damages – We account for every dollar: medical care, lost wages, future treatment, and emotional harm.
- We level the playing field – Insurance adjusters have lawyers. You should too.

Understanding Texas Car Accident Laws
The Statute of Limitations
In Texas, you have two years from the date of your crash to file a personal injury lawsuit. Miss it, and your claim could be forever barred.
If the case involves a government vehicle, the deadline to file notice can be much shorter — sometimes as little as 6 months.
Comparative Negligence
Texas follows the modified comparative negligence rule (a.k.a. “51% bar rule”).
- You can still recover money even if you’re partly at fault — as long as you are not more than 50% responsible.
- Your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault.
Learn more in our in-depth post: Comparative Negligence in Car Accidents.
Compensation You Can Recover
Economic Damages
These are measurable financial losses, including:
- Medical bills (past & future)
- Lost wages
- Diminished earning capacity
- Car repair or replacement
- Out-of-pocket expenses
Non-Economic Damages
These cover pain and suffering, mental anguish, loss of enjoyment, or disfigurement. Learn more in Understanding Non-Economic Damages in Texas.
Punitive Damages
If the driver was drunk, racing, or otherwise reckless, you may be entitled to punitive damages — meant to punish and deter.
Step-by-Step: The Car Accident Claim Process
| Phase | Key Actions | What You Should Do / Expect |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Immediate Aftermath | Call 911, get medical care, report crash | Document injuries and damage with photos, witness info, and police report |
| 2. Investigation | Attorney orders reports, collects medical records, consults experts | Avoid giving statements to insurers without legal advice |
| 3. Demand Letter & Negotiation | Lawyer sends evidence-based demand to insurer | Stay patient — negotiation takes time |
| 4. Mediation or Settlement Talks | Possible back-and-forth or mediation | Review offers with your attorney carefully |
| 5. Filing a Lawsuit | If insurer refuses fair payment | Your lawyer files suit before the 2-year deadline |
| 6. Trial | Present evidence before a judge/jury | Attorney handles cross-exams, experts, and argument |
| 7. Collection & Resolution | Receive judgment or settlement | Attorney helps satisfy liens and deliver net recovery |
