Car Accident Liability Texas

Summary

In Texas, the At Fault system applies, meaning the person who caused the accident pays for damages. If the other driver was at fault, you are not legally responsible for the damages to her vehicle or the damage she caused to your car. Her insurance should cover your damages as well. If a lawyer from another state is contacting you, ensure they are representing the other driver and not you. Consult a local personal injury attorney for personalized advice.
