Parties That Can Be Liable For A Motor Vehicle Accident In Texas
Texas follows a fault-based system for accidents, which means that the at-fault party should be responsible for paying your damages. To receive compensation, you must establish that the other party’s negligence proximately caused the accident and that your own share of liability is not more than 50%. Depending on the circumstances of your crash, multiple parties can be held legally and financially liable for your damages, including:
- The other driver: The motorist neglected their duty of care by violating traffic laws, causing them to collide with your car.
- Government entities: Poorly maintained roads and broken traffic signals can cause severe vehicle accidents. In some cases, the driver of a government vehicle who collided with yours may be liable.
- Alcohol vendors (dram shop claim): A licensed establishment can be responsible for a driver’s negligence if they continue to serve alcohol to a patron who is obviously intoxicated to the point of being a clear danger, and that patron went on to cause a drunk driving accident.
- Employers: Employers of commercial truck drivers can be responsible for your injuries if their employee hits you during their shift.
The attorneys at Mendez Isaac Joudi, PLLC, understand the overwhelming aftermath of a crash. We are here to thoroughly investigate your accident and identify every possible liable party.
The Types Of Compensation You May Recover From An Accident Claim
A motor vehicle accident can leave you severely injured, impacting your life drastically. To help restore your losses, Texas law allows you to seek compensation for these types of damages:
- Economic damages: These are countable expenses that you can prove by presenting receipts and pay stubs. Through this, you can recover the money spent on medical needs, your lost wages and earning capacity.
- Noneconomic damages: These are intangible or subjective impacts of the accident. You can recover compensation for pain and suffering, mental turmoil, permanent disfigurement and reduced quality of life.
Calculating these on your own is a tough burden to carry, but we are here to help. Our goal is to provide a realistic estimate of the cost of your injuries and fight for it.
