Car Accidents in Texas
Car accidents in Texas result in hundreds of thousands of injuries every year, occurring so frequently that an individual is injured approximately every two minutes in the state. Sadly, many of these accidents stem from the negligence of drivers. When drivers fail to operate their vehicles safely, the consequences can be fatal, leaving innocent individuals to contend with both physical and emotional injuries. After sustaining harm in an accident, victims have the option to file a car crash case against those responsible, but proving negligence is crucial. Understanding comparative negligence and its impact on a case is equally important.
Determining Liability
Liability in car accidents across Texas is determined by fault, which is found under Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code Ann. § 33.001, known as the comparative negligence standard. In cases involving multiple responsible parties, their respective liabilities for damages depend on the distribution of fault. For instance, if involved in a highway collision with two other drivers and the first driver is found 80% at fault, they are responsible for 80% of the damages. The remaining 20% of the blame, assigned to the other driver, makes them accountable for 20% of the damages.
