A neighbor dispute turned violent when a man was allegedly struck by a truck at an RV park in east Harris County, and if you or someone you know was harmed in a similar incident, Texas law gives you the right to pursue civil justice.
Get Connected Now →Being deliberately struck by a vehicle is a traumatic experience that can leave victims with serious physical injuries, medical bills, lost income, and lasting emotional harm. When the person who hurt you is a neighbor, the situation can feel even more disorienting, combining physical pain with a profound sense of violated safety in a place that should have felt like home.
After an intentional vehicle assault, victims often face an immediate flood of decisions: medical treatment, dealing with law enforcement, and trying to understand what legal options exist. Many people do not realize that a criminal arrest does not automatically protect a victim's right to financial recovery for their losses. A separate civil claim may be necessary, and time limits under Texas law apply.
Yes. A criminal case and a civil personal injury case are separate legal proceedings in Texas. A criminal arrest or conviction does not prevent a victim from pursuing their own civil claim for damages such as medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
Texas law generally gives personal injury victims two years from the date of the incident to file a lawsuit. Missing this deadline can bar you from recovering compensation, which is why it is important to speak with an attorney as soon as possible.
Under Texas law, injured victims may be able to pursue compensation for medical bills, lost income, future medical care, physical pain, emotional distress, and other losses connected to the incident. The specific damages available depend on the facts of each case.
