Understanding Liability in Texas Car Accidents

Being involved in a car accident can be a traumatic experience, especially when dealing with injuries and property damage. In Texas, determining liability in a car accident is crucial for seeking compensation for your losses. At Law Offices of Robert Gregg, we understand the complexities of personal injury cases and are here to assist the Dallas public with navigating through the legal process.


In Texas, liability in a car accident is determined based on negligence. Negligence occurs when a driver fails to exercise reasonable care while operating a vehicle, resulting in harm to others. To establish liability, it must be proven that the at-fault driver breached their duty of care, causing the accident and resulting damages. This can be done through evidence such as witness statements, police reports, and expert testimony.


It's important to note that Texas follows a modified comparative fault rule when determining liability in car accidents. This means that if you are found to be partially at fault for the accident, your compensation may be reduced by the percentage of fault assigned to you. For example, if you are found 20% at fault for an accident and awarded $10,000 in damages, your compensation will be reduced by 20% to $8,000.


In some cases, multiple parties may share liability for a car accident. This often occurs in accidents involving multiple vehicles or when there are contributing factors such as road conditions or defective equipment. Determining shared liability can complicate matters and require legal expertise to ensure all responsible parties are held accountable for their actions.
