BALCH SPRINGS AUTOMOBILE INJURY LAWYER

CAR ACCIDENT ATTORNEY BALCH SPRINGS

People who are involved in Auto accidents in Texas should be familiar with the laws in the state, to be able to file a lawsuit successfully against the people who they believe are negligent. Every driver in the state has the duty to exercise proper caution, control and care when driving and if you think that your injury resulted from an accident caused by the negligence of another driver, then there is cause for a complaint. There is a procedure that is observed in Texas, which is used for determining whether there was negligence or also called “proper lookout”. It means that as a driver, one has to observe all driving circumstances to be able to prevent a car accident from happening. It is a representation of the duty of every driver to focus on the road as well as on other drivers. Failure to do this can result to an accident due to negligence.

Proving negligence in car accidents can be a complicated issue, especially when serious injury resulted from the accident. You have to prove that you have indeed suffered bodily injuries, and establish the fault of the other driver. Fault can be the most critical element in the lawsuit. The person who is at fault is the one who caused the accident through negligence and the person who must pay for the resulting damages. If the circumstances on your accident points clearly to the other driver as the one at fault, you may not have a problem. However, if there is no clear liability or if the fault is shared between you and the other driver, then the fault will be shared as determined by the comparative negligence law of Texas.

It is important to note that even if one party is partially at fault in the auto accident, it does not relieve the other party from their responsibilities. If you were injured in a car accident and the judge rules out that there is comparative negligence, you could still receive compensation but it will be decreased by the amount that you may have been responsible. If it has been found out, for instance, that you were thirty percent responsible for the accident, your compensation will be reduced by thirty percent and receive only seventy percent of your claims. If it is determined that you have more responsibility in the accident than the other driver, you will not receive anything at all.
