Two people injured, one critically, following early morning ejection crash on Interstate 35 in Austin
Texas Transportation Code Chapter 545 sets the rules of the road, including Section 545.351, which requires drivers to operate at a speed that is reasonable and prudent under the conditions. A driver who breaks these rules and causes a crash may be held responsible for resulting injuries. Whether any rule was broken in this crash has not been determined.
Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code Chapter 33 governs proportionate responsibility. Under it, fault can be shared among the people involved, and an injured person’s recovery can be reduced by their percentage of responsibility, or barred if it is over 50 percent.
