What the Law Says

Texas Transportation Code Chapter 545 sets the rules of the road, including the duty to drive at a speed that is reasonable and prudent under the circumstances (Section 545.351) and to keep control of the vehicle. When a driver allegedly leaves the roadway, investigators look at speed, distraction, impairment, fatigue and road or vehicle conditions.

Under Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code Chapter 71, the surviving family members of a person killed by another’s wrongful act or negligence may bring a wrongful death claim. Deadlines apply, so families should learn their options early. Beverly Law handles these cases on a no fee unless we win basis.

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