What the Law Says

Texas Transportation Code Chapter 545 requires drivers to stay on the right half of the roadway and limits when a driver may pass on the left. A driver who allegedly passes where it is not safe or where passing is prohibited and causes a head-on collision may be found negligent. Violations of these rules are often central evidence in a civil injury claim.

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. Spouses, children and parents of the deceased are generally the eligible beneficiaries. Time limits apply, so families should speak with a lawyer promptly. Beverly Law handles these cases with no fee unless we win.
