Car Accident Liability

Understanding who is at fault in a car accident is crucial for securing compensation for damages and injuries. At The Texas Law Dog, we specialize in identifying and proving liability in car accident cases, ensuring that negligent drivers are held accountable.

Negligence occurs when a driver fails to exercise reasonable care on the road. This includes behaviors such as:

• Tailgating: Following another vehicle too closely, leading to rear-end collisions.
  Driving While Fatigued: Operating a vehicle when too tired to drive safely.
• Speeding: Exceeding the posted speed limits, which increases the risk of accidents.
  Improper Lane Changes: Failing to signal or check blind spots before changing lanes.
• Inexperience: Lacking the necessary skills or knowledge to drive safely.
• Distracted Driving: Engaging in activities that divert attention from driving, such as texting or eating.

Reckless driving, defined under Texas Vehicles & Traffic Code §545.401, involves willful disregard for the safety of others or property. Both reckless and negligent behaviors can serve as grounds for liability, making the at-fault driver responsible for the consequences of their actions.
