TxDOT officials allege that the increase in pedestrian and bicyclist fatalities can be attributed to motorists’ disregard for safety regulations and laws that are intended to protect pedestrians and bicyclists. If you were injured in a pedestrian or bicycle accident caused by a negligent or reckless motorist, you could be entitled… Read More

They are much larger than passenger cars, and the bus drivers face significant challenges, such as large blind spots. Maneuvering this type of vehicle requires skill, focus, and experience. Read More

Every state has its own system for determining liability for compensating victims of car accidents. The state of Texas has a modified comparative fault system for car accident claims. This means you can receive compensation for losses caused by the accident even if you were partly at fault for the crash. However, the amount of compensation you can recover is reduced by your percentage of fault. In Texas, the at-fault driver (the driver at least 51% at fault) is liable for compensating the injured driver involved in the crash. Typically, the at-fault driver’s insurer compensates the accident victim. Identifying the… Read More
