Who Is Liable in a Texas Motor Vehicle Accident?

A negligent driver is liable for any injuries and related losses they cause. Depending on the circumstances, other parties may also be responsible for injuries sustained in a motor vehicle accident.

If a defective vehicle component contributed to the crash, you may be able to sue and recover damages from the companies that designed, manufactured, distributed, and sold the unsafe equipment. For example, if tire defects resulted in a blowout and subsequent vehicular collision, you may be able to hold the tire’s manufacturer financially accountable if there is evidence the tires were not adequately produced.

If a motorist was intoxicated at the time of the crash, you may also be able to pursue a “dram shop” claim. A restaurant or bar that knowingly overserved the drunk motorist can be held liable for your injuries.

What to Do After a Texas Motor Vehicular Accident

When any type of vehicular collision occurs, you should ensure everyone involved is safe and does not require immediate medical attention. Then, call the police, who will generate an official accident report, and avoid admitting any level of fault.

Take photographs of the damage to your vehicle, your injuries, and any roadway conditions that may have contributed to the crash. Get the insurance and contact information of each motorist, passenger, and witness.

Once you have left the scene of the accident, seek a thorough medical examination as soon as possible. Your doctor’s report will help establish a link between the accident and any injuries you sustained.

Our Brownsville motor vehicle accident attorney can walk you through the next steps. We will help you file a claim with the negligent driver’s insurance company.

They may offer an insufficient settlement, or the negligent driver may not have enough coverage to reimburse you for the full extent of your losses. In either scenario, you will need to file a personal injury lawsuit to recover just compensation.

How Texas Motor Vehicle Accident Lawsuits Work

The state of Texas enforces a two-year time limit on most personal injury lawsuits. This means you will only have two years from the date of the motor vehicle accident to initiate legal action. If someone dies in a motor vehicle accident, their loved ones will have up to two years from the date of the victim’s death to pursue a wrongful death claim.

Many motor vehicle accident lawsuits are settled out of court, and the defendant will likely try and negotiate a settlement to avoid a trial. In some cases, accepting a settlement may be in your best interest if the offer adequately covers your injury-related expenses. Our team at the Amador Law Firm can help you understand your options and advise on the best course of action.

A successful Texas motor vehicle accident claim allows you to you recover compensation for:

Lost wages and lost earning capacity
Medical bills
Property damage
Physical pain and mental suffering
Disfigurement
Loss of consortium
Punitive damages

In Texas, you may still be able to recover damages even if you were partially responsible for causing the accident. In these cases, the court will assess your level of responsibility and calculate a percentage of fault. Your total damage award will be reduced by this percentage. For example, if you were found to be 40% at fault, a $100,000 damage award would be reduced to $60,000. If you are more than 50% responsible for a motor vehicle accident, you will generally be unable to recover compensation.
