Parties Commonly Found Liable in Auto Wrecks

The establishment of fault is critical to the success of your injury claim. There are many different parties who may have contributed to the cause of the accident, but often, this is the driver of the vehicle who struck you.

Whether due to inclement weather, wildlife, or unsafe driving practices such as distracted, drunk, aggressive, or drowsy driving, it is the other involved driver who is most commonly found liable.

But that doesn’t mean other parties couldn’t be to blame. In fact, when the roads themselves are dangerous due to a missing street sign or a large, unfilled pothole, the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) could be found liable. Or, if there is a defective or faulty car part, then the manufacturer of the part, automakers, and technicians can be held to account. 

For these reasons, your lawyer will need to conduct a thorough investigation into the cause of the accident so we can determine who is to blame and move forward with your claim against them. 

Shared Fault Laws You Need to Know

In motor vehicle accidents, it is not uncommon for the injury victim to be found partially responsible for causing the accident. This does not prevent you from pursuing your claim and being awarded compensation, but you will have to accept your share of the blame as per the state of Texas’ modified comparative fault law. 

Here’s how it works: the judge assigns you a portion of fault after hearing the details of your case then deducts this percentage of fault from the total amount you are awarded.

It is important to note that in conjunction with the state’s modified comparative negligence law, there is also a 51-Percent Bar Rule, which means if you are more than 50 percent to blame, you’ll lose your shot at receiving anything for your losses. Your lawyer will do everything possible to ensure that only the appropriate portion of fault is placed on you as your case moves forward.
