Personal injury law in Texas is constantly evolving—and in 2025, we’re seeing major shifts that are impacting how victims seek justice. From serious car crashes to workplace injuries and dangerous property conditions, it’s more important than ever to understand your rights and what steps to take if you’ve been hurt.
1. Surge in Serious Car Accidents
Texas continues to rank high in the nation for serious and fatal auto accidents. This year, distracted driving, speeding, and crashes involving commercial vehicles—especially 18-wheelers—are among the top causes. If you’re involved in a crash, it’s critical to gather evidence quickly and speak to a lawyer who knows how to fight for your rights.
2. Unsafe Properties and Premises Liability
Slip-and-fall accidents, poor security, and hazardous conditions in public or commercial spaces are leading to a rise in legal claims, especially in major cities like Houston and Dallas. Property owners are now facing greater responsibility for preventing injuries on their premises.
3. Holding Trucking Companies Accountable
With Texas being a hub for shipping and deliveries, courts are taking a closer look at trucking companies. If a driver was untrained, overworked, or operating an unsafe vehicle, both the driver and the company could be liable. These cases often involve complex investigations and require experienced legal support.
4. Workplace Injury Lawsuits on the Rise
Texas has a unique system where some employers choose not to carry workers’ compensation. This means injured employees can sue their employer directly. As more businesses operate outside the traditional system, personal injury claims tied to workplace negligence are becoming more common.
