  1. Determining Fault After a Car Accident in Texas

  2. The aftermath of a car accident is often confusing and stressful, making the process of determining who was at fault difficult. It’s made even more difficult when you realize that fault is determined separately by insurance companies, law enforcement agencies, and courts of law. If you believe the other driver was negligent and caused the accident, you’ll need to prove it with the help of a Dallas car accident attorney, but first you need to understand how these three important entities determine who is at fault.

  3. How Do Insurance Companies Determine Fault? Texas is not a no-fault auto insurance state. Whichever driver is found to be at fault can expect to be responsible for covering the property damage expenses and medical bills for everyone involved in the accident. If the costs go above your auto insurance limits, you’ll be required to pay for the rest out of pocket, and of course, you can anticipate skyrocketing premiums. For these reasons, a good attorney is especially important.

  4. How Do Law Enforcement Agencies Determine Fault? However, police reports don’t always state who is at fault for the accident. Even if they make their best judgment on who caused the crash and issue a citation, it doesn’t necessarily mean that person will be found liable in a court of law, though it can be used as evidence of negligence. When in doubt, speak to your Dallas auto accident attorney.

  5. How Do Courts Determine Fault?
