What the Law Says

Texas Transportation Code Section 545.062 requires a driver to keep an assured clear distance behind another vehicle so they can stop safely without a collision. Failing to do so can be evidence of negligence in a rear-end crash. Which driver, if any, was at fault in this crash has not been determined.

Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code Chapter 71 allows certain surviving family members to bring a wrongful death claim when a person dies because of another’s wrongful act or negligence. Deadlines and eligibility rules apply, so families should get advice promptly.

This summary is general information, not legal advice. Every case depends on its specific facts.
