What Are the Documents Required to File a Car Accident Lawsuit in Texas?

Filing a car accident lawsuit in Texas requires gathering key documents to build a strong case and ensure a smooth legal process. At The Major Law Firm, we provide legal assistance to the San Antonio public, helping accident victims compile the necessary documentation and navigate their claims effectively.


Essential Documents for Filing a Car Accident Lawsuit


  1. Police Report
    The police report is crucial as it contains details of the accident, including the time, location, involved parties, and any citations issued. It can serve as an impartial account of the incident.
  2. Medical Records
    Collect all medical records related to your injuries, including hospital visits, doctor’s notes, treatment plans, and billing statements. These documents establish the extent of your injuries and the costs associated with your recovery.
  3. Insurance Information
    Include your insurance policy, correspondence with your insurance company, and any claims filed. This will help demonstrate how insurance coverage factors into your case.
  4. Photographic Evidence
    Photos or videos of the accident scene, vehicle damage, and injuries are valuable for illustrating the severity of the collision and supporting your claims.
  5. Witness Statements
    If there were witnesses, gather their contact information and any statements they provided. Witness testimony can strengthen your case by offering third-party perspectives.
  6. Repair Estimates and Vehicle Damage Reports
    Documentation of the damage to your vehicle, including repair estimates or invoices, helps quantify your property loss and is essential for calculating damages.
  7. Proof of Lost Income
    If the accident caused you to miss work, provide documentation such as pay stubs, employment verification letters, or tax returns to substantiate your claim for lost wages.
