Best Car Accident Lawyers Near Me in Abilene, TX
The best car accident lawyer in Abilene, TX right now is Keith & Lorfing, holding the top FMAL Score of 94.0 with a 5★ Google rating across 367 reviews. We scored all 12 firms serving Abilene and ranked the best first — earned by data, never paid. Updated September 2026.
FMAL's AI worked through 568 client reviews from six Abilene accident firms, scoring each on attorney communication, readiness to push back against lowball offers, and how efficiently claims move to resolution. Keith & Lorfing earned the top score at 94; Law Offices of David M. White came in at 92. Hanna Allen follows at 90.8 with a $10.5M best result on file. The FMAL score range from 90.8 to 94 is relatively tight for a six-firm market, but even within that band the review-level patterns differ — particularly on how firms handle insurer valuation disputes. Texas as of 2026 requires that personal injury lawsuits be filed within two years of the injury. The state's modified comparative fault rule means you can recover only if you were less than 51% at fault, with your payout reduced by your share of responsibility. Minimum auto coverage is $30,000 per person / $60,000 per crash bodily injury and $25,000 property damage.

Your Legal Rights After an Accident in Abilene, TX
Abilene accident claims are governed by Texas law. Verified Texas law, with sources. General information — not legal advice for your specific case.
You have 2 years to file [source]
Texas's statute of limitations gives you 2 years from the date of the crash to file a personal-injury lawsuit. Miss it and you usually lose the right to recover — one of the most important reasons to talk to a lawyer early.
Fault & your right to recover [source]
Texas follows modified comparative negligence (51% bar) — you can recover as long as you were not more than 50% at fault. At 51% or more, recovery is barred. Texas is an at-fault state: the driver who caused the crash — and their insurer — is responsible for your medical bills, lost wages, and other damages.
Minimum insurance coverage [source]
Texas's minimum liability coverage is just $30,000 per person / $60,000 per accident for bodily injury and $25,000 for property damage — often far less than a serious injury costs, which is why uninsured/underinsured-motorist coverage matters.
Limits on compensation [source]
Texas does not cap the compensation you can recover in a general personal-injury claim — your award is based on your actual losses.
