Car Accidents in Texas
In 2022 alone, over 15,299 individuals suffered serious injuries due to automobile accidents in Texas. Unfortunately, the majority of these crashes were avoidable. Key factors contributing to car crashes across our state include:
- Aggressive driving
- Failure to yield the right of way
- Mechanical failures
- Inexperienced drivers
- Poor visibility
- Driving under the influence of drugs
Tragically, many individuals involved in accidents endure severe injuries resulting from these and other negligent acts. Being injured in a car crash can have a lasting impact on your life. Therefore, it is only fair that you seek justice.
Texas Comparative Negligence Laws
Following a car crash, you have the option to file a personal injury claim against the responsible party. In Texas, comparative negligence laws play a crucial role in a person’s ability to recover compensation after a car crash caused by another driver’s negligence.
Texas follows the modified comparative negligence system, stating that individuals must be less than 51 percent responsible for the accident to recover fair compensation. If found more than 51 percent at fault, they cannot recover compensation. For this reason, it is essential for victims to seek legal representation from a Texas car accident lawyer as soon as possible. An attorney will prove their case against the defendant and help you obtain the maximum compensation possible.
