What the Law Says

Texas Transportation Code Chapter 545 sets the rules of the road. Section 545.351 requires drivers to operate at a speed that is reasonable and prudent under the circumstances, taking into account traffic, road conditions and hazards. Drivers who fail to control speed or pay attention near work zones and slowed traffic may be found negligent.

Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code Chapter 33 governs proportionate responsibility. Under it, an injured person’s recovery is reduced by their percentage of fault, and is barred if that person is found more than 50 percent responsible. This is why preserving evidence early matters.

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