Major Crash at Claremont Lane and San Felipe Street Snarls Houston Afternoon Traffic

A major traffic collision occurred on February 20, 2026, at the intersection of Claremont Lane and San Felipe Street in the Tomball area, causing significant disruption to afternoon traffic and leaving multiple individuals in need of medical attention. According to initial reports, this was a serious crash with the potential for substantial injuries to those involved. The Houston area has seen an increase in complex intersection accidents in recent years, and this incident serves as a sobering reminder of how quickly life can change on our roads. If you or a loved one were involved in this collision, it is important to understand your rights and the steps you should take immediately following such a traumatic event.

If you were injured in this crash, your immediate priorities should be your health and safety. First, call 911 if you have not already done so, and seek medical attention right away, even if your injuries seem minor at the time. Some injuries from vehicle accidents do not manifest symptoms immediately, and a thorough medical evaluation is essential for your wellbeing and your legal protection. Document the accident scene if you are able to do so safely by taking photographs of vehicle damage, road conditions, and the intersection layout. Gather contact information from witnesses and the other driver, but importantly, do not provide a recorded statement to any insurance company without speaking to an attorney first. Insurance adjusters are trained negotiators, and anything you say can be used to minimize your claim.

Under Texas law, you have up to two years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury lawsuit, which is known as the statute of limitations. However, this deadline is firm, and waiting too long can result in losing your legal rights entirely. Texas also follows a comparative negligence system, meaning that even if you bear some responsibility for the accident, you may still recover damages as long as you are not found to be more than 50 percent at fault. The amount of recovery may be reduced by your percentage of fault, but you can still pursue compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages resulting from the crash.
