Galveston, Texas Department of Transportation Accidents 

At A2X Law Firm, we take pride in fighting for Galveston residents who’ve been harmed by government negligence, especially when it involves the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT). Whether you're commuting down Broadway Avenue or navigating the causeway, the last thing you expect is to be injured due to the carelessness of a government agency. But it happens, and when it does, you need more than answers. You need representation that understands both Galveston and Texas law. 

 

When TxDOT Is Responsible for Your Injury 

TxDOT is responsible for maintaining roads, bridges, and government-owned vehicles throughout the state, including those in Galveston. If a pothole on Harborside Drive caused a crash or a poorly maintained traffic signal near 61st Street contributed to your injury, you may have grounds to file a legal claim. 

 

Victims of TxDOT negligence in Galveston often face uphill legal battles. Government claims are not like typical personal injury cases. Strict notice deadlines, complex liability laws, and damage caps under the Texas Tort Claims Act (TTCA) make pursuing justice particularly challenging without legal assistance. That’s where we come in. 

 

Common TxDOT-Related Incidents in Galveston 

We’ve worked with Galveston clients facing a variety of situations, including: 

  • TxDOT vehicle accidents: If a TxDOT truck sideswipes your car on Seawall Boulevard or rear-ends you while merging onto I-45, you may be entitled to compensation. 
  • Dangerous road conditions: Improper road signage or unrepaired hazards on FM 3005 or Stewart Road can lead to serious accidents. If TxDOT fails to fix or warn about these risks, they can be held liable. 
  • Unsafe public buildings or property: Slip-and-fall incidents in TxDOT-maintained rest areas or facilities, standard near ferry terminals, are also actionable under state law. 

 

What You Need to Act 

Under the TTCA, you must file a notice of your claim within six months of the incident. That notice must describe: 

  • What happened and where it occurred 
  • Who was involved 
  • What injuries or damages have you sustained? 

 

Even with all this in place, Texas law caps damages against state agencies: 

  • $250,000 per person for bodily injury 
  • $500,000 per incident 
  • $100,000 for property damage 

 

Understanding how these limits apply and whether your case qualifies under TTCA exceptions requires strategic legal insight.
