Who Is Liable for a Car Accident?
Determining liability in a car accident claim can be complex and challenging, especially without an in-depth understanding of Texas law. Fortunately, our attorneys are well-versed in the legal nuances of these cases to help you identify liable parties, establish negligence, and pursue maximum compensation.
Depending on the circumstances of your case, various parties may be responsible for injuries in a car crash. Potentially liable parties include:
- Negligent drivers: Often, other drivers are liable for injuries if they contributed to the collision by violating traffic laws, engaged in reckless or distracted driving, or operating their vehicle under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
- Vehicle manufacturers: If the wreck was caused by a defective car part or design flaw, the vehicle manufacturer may be fully or partially liable for damages.
- Government entities: If poor road conditions or inadequate signage contributed to the crash, government entities may be liable for resulting injuries.
Recoverable Damages in a Car Accident Claim
When a motorist’s negligence results in preventable harm to another driver, the victim may be entitled to recover damages in a car accident claim. Various damages may be recoverable in your case, including:
- Economic damages: These cover direct financial losses, including property damage and out-of-pocket expenses, past and future medical care, lost wages, prescription medication costs, rehabilitation and physical therapy, and loss of earning capacity.
- Non-economic damages: these cover indirect subjective losses, such as pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of consortium, loss of enjoyment of life, and scarring and disfigurement.
- Punitive damages: In rare cases involving extreme negligence, the court may award punitive damages to punish the victim and deter similar behavior in the future.

"Nick was very open and transparent."
Mr. Kemmy comes from good stock and was referred to us by one of the best. And if he's good enough for him to lay his reputation on the line, he's good enough for me. Nick was very open and transparent, and shared some of our frustrations. We were very please with him representing us. Thanks again Nick.
