Fort Worth Road Defect Accident Lawyers

The City of Fort Worth and TxDOT are responsible for maintaining safe roadways. When a pothole, failed pavement, missing guardrail, inadequate signage, or poorly marked construction zone causes a crash, the responsible government entity may bear liability under the Texas Tort Claims Act. Claims against government entities must comply with Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code §101.101 — which requires written notice within 90 days of the incident. If a road defect on a Fort Worth street or highway contributed to your crash, contact us immediately to protect your claim rights.

Damages You Can Recover

  • Past and future medical expenses
  • Lost wages and loss of earning capacity
  • Pain and suffering
  • Mental anguish and emotional distress
  • Physical impairment and disfigurement
  • Property damage

Two-Year Statute of Limitations (§16.003): You have two years from the date of injury to file suit. Modified Comparative Fault (§33.001): You may recover as long as you are not more than 50% at fault. No fee unless we win.

How soon should I contact a Fort Worth attorney after my accident?
Immediately. Evidence — dashcam footage, surveillance video, witness availability — deteriorates quickly. Early legal involvement protects your rights and strengthens your case.
Should I give a recorded statement to the insurance company?
No. Insurance adjusters use recorded statements to find grounds to minimize or deny your claim. Contact our office before speaking with any insurance representative.
