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.

Understanding Texas’ Modified Comparative Negligence Rule

Texas follows what’s known as a modified comparative negligence rule, sometimes called the 51% bar rule. Under this statute, you can still recover compensation even if you were partially responsible for the accident, as long as you weren’t more than 50% at fault. However, whatever percentage of fault you carry will be subtracted from your final award. For example, if you were awarded $100,000 but found to be 20% at fault, you could only recover $80,000.

This rule gives insurance companies a powerful incentive to argue that you were more at fault than you actually were. Adjusters know how to ask leading questions, request recorded statements, and comb through your social media in an attempt to pin more blame on you, all so they can reduce or deny your claim. Without a lawyer working on your behalf, it can be difficult to know how to respond to these tactics or what evidence you need to protect your right to full compensation. This is exactly why having an experienced Houston car accident attorney matters: we know how these arguments are built, and we know how to dismantle them.

The lawyers were able to get me more from the insurance company that I would have by myself.
“I was very satisfied with the results.”

- William S.
Mr. Soileau was unfazed by the trucking company’s denials.
“I was hit by an 18 Wheeler driving through an intersection and the truck driver denied running the red light. There were no witnesses and we had no way to pay for medical bills. He immediately filed suit and settled our case for a substantial amount of money.”

- A.Z.
We highly recommend Mr. Soileau
“We contacted Mr. Soileau after being rear-ended in Kemah, Texas. When we contacted Mr. Soileau we had no health insurance and we were not sure what to do. He helped us find doctors who would work with us and then went on to settle the case for the maximum amount of all insurance policies available.”

- J.M.
Treated me like family. Highly recommend the folks.
“This place took my case and provided me with guidance from A to Z about what I needed to do and how I was to get the appropriate medical treatment necessary to get better. Very friendly and professional staff.”

- Cody B.
They took it to court and fought for me. Would highly recommend!!
“Awesome Law firm!! Brenda was amazing in helping manage my case and if for some reason she wasn't available, Chris or Dawn was immediately there to help me. I see some complaints on here about not returning phone calls? I never had an issue. Sometimes I would have to leave a message, but they always got back to me with updates. My case took a while but totally worth the wait because they never just took whatever was offered.”

- Amy G.
They give you one on one attention, and any question you have, they are able to answer.
“I've been in a couple of car accidents and have been lucky enough to have Chris Soileau as my attorney. They have helped me through these tough times and I am forever thankful. I definitely recommend.”

- Jessica B.
This law firm has taken care of me from my initial phone call all the way until I received my settlement.
“I truly would like to thank Brenda for all of her help and remaining professional with me no matter how many times I called which was a lot. My settlement was way more than I ever expected. I am more than satisfied I would like to suggest that Brenda be acknowledged and rewarded for such a great job done. If I ever need to be represented again I will definitely call this law firm with no hesitation.”

- Amelia P.
Highly recommend miss Brenda Salazar!
“Amazing customer service!”

- Dae Juan
Second time using them, highly recommend always helping me and my family respond at anytime too.
“This time my accident was at night and they answered so thankful.”

- Licia
