Suing The At-Fault Driver For My severe Injuries | What If I Was Partially At Fault For The Accident?

If the other driver was clearly at-fault and determined so by a police officer at the time of the accident, your case is fairly cut and dry. This may even be able to be solved through the at-fault driver’s insurance company. If, however, the insurance agency has denied your claim, you may have grounds for a lawsuit.

If you were found partially at fault for the accident, you may still have a case. Texas is a modified comparative fault state, which means that the total of the plaintiff’s damages is reduced by the percentage of their fault. For example, if a jury determines that total damages amount to $50,000, and that you are 25% responsible for the accident, you will be awarded 75% of the damages: $37,500.

Contacting a car accident lawyer in Dallas, like the expert attorneys at Carabin Shaw, will benefit you if you are unsure about fault in your accident, or if you have additional questions.

In 2019, Dallas residents suffered from the following (according to the Texas Department of Transportation):
