Proving Fault in a Car Accident
Determining who was at fault in a Houston car accident may be complicated in some cases, and rather straightforward in others. Regardless of whether it seems like the at-fault party is obvious or not, the liable party may refuse to admit their fault, and you may still need to prove their liability. That is why having a reliable attorney on your side is so crucial.
In order to prove fault, or liability, you typically need to establish that there was negligent behavior.
For example, when a driver engages in any of the following on the road, it can be considered negligence:
- Violating any traffic rules or laws (such as running a red light)
- Texting or talking on the phone
- Eating, drinking, or grooming
- Browsing the web with a phone or tablet
- Selecting music or inputting an address into a GPS
- Being under the influence of drugs or alcohol
Other issues, such as drowsy or sleepy driving can be viewed as negligence as well. When these behaviors lead to collisions, this can result in devastating injuries.

“My car was hit by a guy who was racing down the highway. The impact forced my vehicle into a retaining wall. At the time I was between jobs and Mr. Soileau helped me find medical care. Ultimately, Chris obtained a great settlement for my case.”- S.J.
-
“I knew few attorneys a couple years back when I needed one to represent me in a case involving an accident with my wife. I was introduced to Mr. Soileau one evening while I was out playing golf. He sat down and took time out his golf game and listened to my predicament I was facing. Afterward, by the way, he handled everything so professionally I hired him and his firm to represent me, hoping we'd settle without it going to court. Needless to say we settled out of court within a year and I was well satisfied with the settlement. Thanks again to Chris Soileau. I'd recommend them to anyone needing a great down to earth attorney, who has a family and wants to know you personally.”- Paul R.
-
“I got rear-ended by a big SUV that did not have insurance and to my surprise, Leticia, the case manager, figured out I had personal injury insurance. She took care of me from start to finish. The doctors and chiropractors they recommended took away the injuries caused by the accident. I became a new man with a new strong lower back and I received a nice surprising settlement amount that I wasn’t expecting during the holidays.”- Larry R.
-
“Right from the beginning, we felt like we had a champion in our corner. His entire staff was great to work with, and Chris never stopped fighting for us. He made the entire process a breeze to work through, and when he took on the responsibility of dealing with the doctor's bill and insurance it freed my wife and I up to concentrate on our healing process. Thanks, Chris Soileau for doing such a fantastic job. The big check at the end was pretty nice too!”- Joey J.
