Common El Paso accidents

I-10 Commercial Trucking Crashes

I-10 through El Paso is one of the country's busiest commercial trucking routes. Mexican and U.S. trucks, fatigue from long hauls, and high-speed traffic create catastrophic crash scenarios.

Border-Crossing Vehicle Accidents

Vehicles crossing the Bridge of the Americas and Ysleta-Zaragoza create unique cases involving Mexican drivers, Mexican insurance, and complex liability questions.

Loop 375 and Border Highway

High-speed crashes on these corridors are common and often serious.

Fort Bliss Area Crashes

With one of the largest military installations in the country, El Paso has substantial military-related traffic and unique scenarios involving Federal Tort Claims.

International Cases

When the at-fault driver is from Mexico or carries Mexican insurance, additional jurisdictional complexity applies. We have experience with these cases.

Federal Tort Claims (Fort Bliss)

The I-10 corridor between El Paso and points east carries enormous commercial freight, and Loop 375 sees border-related commercial traffic constantly. Truck crashes in El Paso often involve cross-border carrier issues, federal regulations, and complex jurisdictional matters — requiring attorneys familiar with both Texas law and federal trucking regulations.

Frequently Asked — El Paso, Texas

El Paso injury questions, answered.

El Paso + border-region injury law — answered directly. Each answer is based on real cases we've handled — and links to deeper resources on this site.

What courts handle injury cases in El Paso County? +

Personal injury cases in El Paso County are filed in the El Paso County Civil District Courts, located at the El Paso County Courthouse (500 E. San Antonio Ave., El Paso, TX 79901). Federal cases (including many border-region cases) go to the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas, El Paso Division. El Paso is unique in Texas — cross-border issues, Mexican plates, and Sun Metro cases require specific procedural knowledge. More on our El Paso practice →

What should I do after a crash on I-10 in El Paso? +

I-10 is the spine of El Paso, running east-west through the city and across the entire border region. It also carries enormous commercial truck traffic between California, Texas, and points east. After an I-10 crash: call 911, photograph the scene, get a police report (DPS or EPPD depending on jurisdiction), get medical attention immediately, and don't speak to insurance adjusters before consulting an attorney. Commercial trucks on I-10 carry large insurance policies — if a truck was involved, the case becomes substantially more valuable. Commercial truck cases →

What if the other driver had Mexican plates or was a Mexican national? +

Cross-border accidents in El Paso happen frequently and present unique challenges. Mexican drivers typically don't have U.S. insurance, but they may have Mexican policies — and those policies sometimes provide coverage in border-region accidents. If you have uninsured motorist (UM) coverage on your own policy, it typically applies. Tracking down a Mexican driver across the border is difficult but not impossible — we've done it. Call us — these cases require specific experience.

How long do I have to file an injury claim in El Paso? +

Two years from the date of injury — Texas's standard statute of limitations applies in El Paso the same as elsewhere in the state. Government cases (Sun Metro buses, City of El Paso vehicles, El Paso County) have much shorter notice deadlines. Cases involving federal entities or military personnel at Fort Bliss may have additional procedural requirements. Free consultation →

Can I sue after an accident with a Sun Metro bus or city vehicle? +

Yes — but governmental cases require special procedures and have much shorter notice deadlines. The Texas Tort Claims Act limits recovery against governmental entities and requires notice typically within 6 months (sometimes less). Don't wait. These cases also frequently have damage caps that don't apply to private defendants. Get an immediate case review →

How does Texas comparative fault work after an El Paso crash? +

Texas uses modified comparative fault with a 51% bar. If you were 50% or less at fault, you can recover, but your damages are reduced by your percentage of fault. If you're 51% or more at fault, you recover nothing. This is critical in border-region cases where multi-vehicle crashes are common and assigning fault is contested. More on Texas comparative fault →

Can I sue after a truck accident in El Paso? +

Yes — and El Paso truck cases are some of the most valuable cases in Texas due to the heavy commercial traffic on I-10. The federal minimum insurance for interstate trucks is $750,000, and many carriers carry $1M to $10M+ policies. Cases against trucking companies require quickly preserving evidence (driver logs, electronic data, dispatch records) before companies destroy or "lose" them. More on truck accident cases →
