Car Accidents in Tomball
Most Tomball car wrecks we handle involve the same handful of corridors: Highway 249 / Tomball Tollway, Grand Parkway (TX 99), FM 2920, FM 2978, Hufsmith-Kohrville Road. Rush-hour congestion, distracted drivers, and the volume of commercial truck traffic combine to make even routine commutes risky.

Frequently asked questions for Tomball clients
How long do I have to file a Tomball car accident claim?
Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code § 16.003 gives you two years from the date of the crash for most car accident claims. Wrongful death claims also generally carry a two-year deadline. Don't wait — evidence and witnesses scatter fast.
The insurance company says I was partly at fault. Can I still recover?
Probably yes. Texas follows modified comparative fault under Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 33.001. You can recover as long as you're 50% or less at fault — your recovery is just reduced by your share. Push past 51% and you collect nothing, which is why the carrier will work hard to push you over that line.
What if the at-fault driver was uninsured?
If you carry Uninsured / Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM) coverage on your own policy, that's the policy we pursue. Texas insurers must offer UM/UIM in writing; if you weren't expressly offered it and didn't reject in writing, you may have coverage even if you don't remember buying it.
