Reckless Conduct

Reckless Conduct and Road Rage

A driver may also be found liable for an accident due to his or her intentional or reckless conduct or for his or her failure to act in accord with a reasonable driver under the same circumstances.

A driver who is reckless is one who operates his vehicle with “willful and wanton disregard” for the rights and well being of others. A driver can be found reckless, for example, if he or she drives in a threatening or harassing manner out of “road rage” and causes an accident.

The concept of “Road Rage” is defined as “an assault with a motor vehicle or other dangerous weapon by the operator or passenger(s) of another motor vehicle or an assault precipitated by an incident that occurred on a roadway.”

Statistics compiled by NHTSA show that almost 13,000 people had been injured or killed since 1990 in crashes caused by aggressive driving. According to a NHTSA, more than 60 percent of drivers consider unsafe driving by others, including speeding, a major personal threat to themselves and their families.

Texas Law Enforcement Agencies are renewing efforts to identify and penalize aggressive drivers-those who speed, tailgate and engage in other dangerous driving practices.

Defective Products

Accidents Caused By Defective Products​

In some cases, accidents are caused by factors unrelated to the conduct of any particular driver. For example, an accident may occur due to a defect. In some auto accident cases, the loss is caused by a product defect. In such cases, an automobile manufacturer or a supplier can be held responsible for injuries caused by a defect in the automobile under the law of product liability.

A product liability suit is a lawsuit brought against the seller of a product for selling a defective product that caused physical injury to a consumer or user. If a manufacturer of a product creates a defective product-either in designing, manufacturing, or labeling the product-the manufacturer is liable for any injuries the product causes, regardless of whether the manufacturer was negligent.

Accidents Caused By Highway Defects

Poorly maintained roads and/or malfunctioning traffic control signals can also contribute to cause an accident as well. Sometimes improper designs, maintenance issues, construction issues, signage issues, lighting issues or other highway defect issues, including poorly placed trees and utility poles, can cause serious or even deadly accidents. In cases such as this the road construction company or even the State can be held responsible. Special rules apply to claims and lawsuits brought against governmental entities. Call our Law Firm, good legal advice is critical to preserving and winning such claims.

Drunk Driver

Accidents Caused by Drunk Drivers

It is unfortunate, but every day across the State of Texas drunk drivers are killing and injuring Texans. In our opinion drunk drivers should be punished for killing and injuring innocent victims. It is important to understand that the victim and/or his family have the right to make a claim for actual damages and punitive damages.

In addition to the intoxicated driver being held liable for the personal injuries he or she caused, a bar or night club can also be liable for damages if they served an obviously intoxicated guest, who then drove and caused an accident. The fact that the person who served the intoxicated driver alcohol may be held liable does not relieve the intoxicated driver of liability.

Our experienced personal injury attorneys know the laws governing legal responsibility and can help you identify who might be held responsible for your injuries, including people or businesses you may not have considered.

Every ½ hour, someone in this country dies in an alcohol-related accident or crash. Last year alone, over one million people were injured in alcohol-related accidents.
