Texas Negligence Laws and Their Impact on Car Accident Settlements
In Texas, courts apply the legal doctrine of comparative negligence when determining fault in car accidents. Under this doctrine, you cannot collect damages if you are more than 50 percent responsible for a crash.
However, if you are 50 percent responsible or less, you can still collect damages, but the total amount will be reduced in proportion to your share of responsibility.
Here is an example settlement amount:
If you were 30 percent responsible for an accident in which your damages were $100,000, you can collect $70,000 from defendants in your lawsuit.
Steps To Take After a Car Accident in Dallas
The steps you take after a car accident can affect your short-term and long-term health, as well as your ability to collect damages from at-fault parties in a lawsuit. If you are involved in an accident, take the following steps:
- Seek medical attention – Your health and well-being come first. If you need emergency medical attention, call an ambulance. Even if you do not need emergency attention, you should still see your doctor as soon as possible. Attend all your follow-up appointments and keep all your medical billing and treatment records.
- Call the police – Also, request a case number from the officers dispatched to the crash site. Especially if you were hurt in a Dallas hit-and-run accident.
- Gather contact information – If you can do so safely, try to collect information from the other driver. Get their name, address, license plate number, driver’s license number, and insurance policy number. Also, collect contact information from passengers and witnesses to the accident.
- Gather evidence – Take photos and videos of the scene, including street signs, skid marks, vehicles involved in the crash, nearby surveillance equipment, and other significant details.
- Beware of at-fault insurers – Do not discuss your injuries or details of the accident with the other party. They may twist your words to claim you accepted responsibility.
- Beware of your own insurer – Cooperate with your own insurance company, but do not discuss details without your attorney present. Insurance companies work hard to limit payouts and do not have your best interests at heart.
- Avoid social media – Do not post about the accident on social media. Insurers scour public posts for anything they can use to deny your claim.
- Consult with an attorney – Contact a Dallas auto accident lawyer before you sign anything from the other driver’s insurance company. They may try to trick you into signing a release or accepting a lowball settlement.
