What the Law Says

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 circumstances and to control their speed to avoid danger. If a crash is later found to involve unsafe speed or loss of control, that may be relevant to who is legally responsible.

Under Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code Chapter 71, certain surviving family members may bring a wrongful death claim when a person dies because of another’s wrongful act or negligence. Deadlines apply, so families with questions should speak with a lawyer. Beverly Law works on a contingency basis: no fee unless we win.
