To recover compensation after a Texas car or truck accident, you generally must show that another party's negligence caused your injuries and losses.

Four Key Elements

  • Duty of Care: Texas drivers have a legal duty to operate their vehicles safely & follow the rules of the road.
  • Breach of Duty: A driver may breach that duty by speeding, texting behind the wheel, running a red light, driving impaired, or otherwise driving negligently.
  • Causation: You must connect the other driver's actions to your crash and injuries. Evidence may include the crash report, photographs, witness statements, video, vehicle damage, and other records.
  • Damages: You must establish the losses caused by the crash, which may include medical expenses, lost income, property damage, and physical pain and mental anguish.

Truck Accidents Can Involve Multiple Parties

Commercial truck crashes may involve additional liable parties, such as the trucking company, a cargo loader, or a maintenance provider, and may be subject to federal trucking safety regulations that can affect your claim.
