Car Accidents in Missouri City
Where do Missouri City car accidents happen?
Missouri City car crashes start at the commuter choke points: the Fort Bend Parkway, US-90A at Texas Parkway, and SH-6 through Sienna. Most cases are filed in Fort Bend County in Richmond.
Missouri City car crashes start on the commute into Houston. The Fort Bend Parkway, US-90A, and Beltway 8 funnel morning traffic into a handful of interchanges, and the merges there produce sideswipes and rear-end crashes in stop-and-go traffic. South of the city, SH-6 through Sienna has become a retail corridor with signals, driveways, and left turns on a road that still carries highway speed, and T-bone crashes there are serious. Most Missouri City cases are filed in Fort Bend County at the Justice Center in Richmond, though a crash in the city’s Harris County section is filed in Houston, so the exact location matters from the start.

What to do now
What should you do after a car accident in Missouri City?
- Get examined the same day. Memorial Hermann Sugar Land Hospital and Houston Methodist Sugar Land Hospital handle the serious car accident injuries from Missouri City; an urgent care visit the same day is enough to start the record if you are not transported.
- Photograph the vehicles, the road, and your injuries where it happened, especially on Fort Bend Parkway Toll Road and US-90A (South Main and Gulf Freeway corridor), where scenes are cleared within minutes.
- Get the Missouri City crash report. Missouri City Police Department crash reports (Texas form CR-3) can be requested through the city and bought through the TxDOT Crash Report Online Purchase System once they are submitted. A crash on the Fort Bend Parkway or Beltway 8 may have been worked by a different agency, which the report request will show. The firm gets the report for clients at no charge.
- Report the crash to your own insurer, but give no recorded statement to the other driver’s carrier until you have counsel.
- Know where the case goes. Missouri City car accidents suits are filed in the Fort Bend County district courts, Justice Center, 1422 Eugene Heimann Circle, Richmond, or Fort Bend County Courts at Law depending on the crash location.
- Call the firm. Missouri City clients are handled from Houston by phone, video, and mail, and the firm travels to Missouri City for meetings, depositions, and court. The consultation is free.

Common questions
Missouri City car accident questions
Which Missouri City roads have the most car crashes?
The Fort Bend Parkway and Beltway 8 interchange, US-90A at Texas Parkway, and SH-6 at FM 1092 and Sienna Parkway.
Where is a Missouri City car accident case filed?
Most Missouri City crashes are filed in Fort Bend County at the Justice Center, 1422 Eugene Heimann Circle, Richmond. Crashes in the Harris County part of the city can be filed in Houston.
What if a driver merging onto the Fort Bend Parkway sideswiped me?
Section 545.060 of the Transportation Code requires a driver to stay in a lane until a move can be made safely, so the merging driver is usually at fault. Toll records and dashcam video can show where each car was.
What if the other driver only has minimum insurance?
Texas requires only 30/60/25 coverage. If your injuries are worth more, your own underinsured motorist coverage may pay the difference, unless you rejected it in writing.
