What the Law Says

Texas Transportation Code Chapter 545 sets the rules of the road. Section 545.060 requires drivers to stay as nearly as practical within a single lane and not to change lanes unless the movement can be made safely. Drivers who violate these rules may be held responsible if their conduct causes a collision.

Under Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code Section 71.002, a person can be liable for a wrongful death when the death is caused by another’s wrongful act, neglect, carelessness, unskillfulness, or default. Family members of someone killed in a crash may have the right to bring a claim. Deadlines apply, so speaking with a lawyer early matters; we work on contingency, so there is no fee unless we win.

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