What the Law Says

Texas Transportation Code Section 545.151 sets out how drivers must yield the right-of-way at intersections, including to oncoming motorcycles. Failing to yield right-of-way at an intersection or driveway is one of the most common causes of SUV-versus-motorcycle collisions like the one Wylie police are investigating. A driver found to have violated this rule and caused a crash can be held civilly liable for the resulting injuries or death.

Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code Chapter 71, the Wrongful Death Act, allows the surviving family members of a person killed by another’s negligence to pursue a civil claim for their loss. Because Anthony Mills died at the scene of this collision, his family may have the right to seek compensation under this statute once the investigation determines how the crash occurred. The law covers losses such as lost financial support, loss of companionship, and funeral expenses.

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