How to Determine Fault in a Car Accident?

When an accident happens, insurance companies immediately begin their own investigation.  You need an experienced Houston Auto Accident Lawyer to begin your investigation.  In evaluating the case, Molina Law Firm will visit the accident scene, talk to witnesses, take photos and videos, review the medical records, obtain the police reports, and consult with experts to maximize your recovery.  

In Texas, if you are the majority party at fault in an accident, then you may be barred from any recovery.  Please watch the accompanying video for a detailed discussion on how to determine fault in an accident. 

What Are the Damages in an Auto Accident?

In Texas, Auto Accident damages generally fall under two categories:  economic and noneconomic.  

Economic damages are generally out-of-pocket damages such as medical expenses and lost earnings or loss of earning capacity.  In wrongful death cases, these damages can also include funeral expenses.  

Non-economic damages are intangible damages such as pain, suffering, disfigurement, and physical impairment.  In wrongful death cases, these damages can also include loss of companionship.

Car Accident Statistics

We see car accidents in Houston nearly every day.  This commonplace occurrence hides an important cause of serious injury and death on your roadways.  Houston ranks 2nd in fatal car accidents in the United States.  Statistically, the reason for these accidents are attributed to:

  • Longer and longer commutes due to the population moving to cities and towns outside of Houston.  The average commute time is over 29 minutes.
  • Higher speed limits coupled with an increasing number of distracted drivers increase serious car accidents.
  • Road construction and changing traffic patterns have motorists guessing which way to go on confusing intersections and roadways.
  • Of the fatal crashes in Harris and surrounding counties, only 4.4% were inside the 610 Loop.  The rest were on freeways outside the Loop.

Car accidents seem commonplace in today’s world of high traffic and constant road construction but you should not be complacent if you have been involved in a car accident especially if you sustained injuries. You may have some underlying issues that do not manifest until later as well as significant repair costs to your car that the other insurance company may not cover.
