Motor vehicle wrecks occur with alarming frequency and for a number of different reasons. But if the negligent or irresponsible actions of another caused your collision, you may have legal options. You don’t have to be stuck covering your costs when someone else is to blame for your damages. 

A highly trained Grand Prairie vehicle accident lawyer at Crain Brogdon, LLP. could help you get the liable party to compensate you for the harm they’ve inflicted on your life. If we take on your case, you can be sure that we’ll do whatever it takes to ensure that you get the most out of your civil lawsuit. 

Texas Contributory Fault Laws

Contributory fault, also known as shared fault, describes what happens when an injury victim is partially responsible for causing the accident they were involved in. Maybe they weren’t wearing their seatbelt when they were injured, or perhaps they were driving over the speed limit at the time of the accident.

Regardless, partial blame doesn’t mean you lose the chance to file a civil claim against the party who is primarily at fault. This is because Texas is a modified comparative negligence state. As long as you less than 51 percent to blame, you can seek financial repayment of your losses from the person or persons who are culpable for your injuries.

However, it’s important to note that you will still need to be held responsible for your portion of fault, and the Texas civil court system will do this by reducing your injury settlement based on your portion of fault. So if you were 10 percent to blame for the collision, you can expect your award to be reduced by 10 percent. 

What to Expect When Filing an Insurance Claim

Dealing with the insurance company is rarely easy. Many injury victims don’t expect the insurer to be driven by money. Sadly, the insurance company, despite advertising as being on your side, is not on your side, and will do everything possible to minimize your settlement amount.

It’s not uncommon for an insurer to use the state’s shared fault laws to make you appear more to blame than you actually are. This is a common tactic in motorcycle accidents. If or when that tactic fails, the adjuster will make you an insultingly low offer in the hopes of tempting you into accepting a settlement that is actually far less than your claim is worth.

Your vehicle accident lawyer in Grand Prairie will know all the common insurance tricks and will ensure that you aren’t further taken advantage of during this trying time.
