What the Law Says

Texas Transportation Code 545.051 generally requires drivers to stay on the right side of the roadway. A driver who allegedly crosses into oncoming traffic may be found to have violated this rule of the road. Whether that happened here is a matter for investigators to determine.

Under Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code 71.002, a person may be liable for a wrongful death caused by their negligence or carelessness, and certain family members may bring a claim. Texas also applies proportionate responsibility rules under Chapter 33 when fault is shared. Families who lose a loved one can learn their options with no fee unless we win.

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