SERVICES OF LAKHANI & MCGRATH
Fault Scenarios in Left Turn Accidents
Left turn accidents often involve clear traffic law violations, but liability can still be disputed depending on the circumstances of the crash and driver behavior.
Full Fault
A driver may be fully responsible if they fail to yield the right of way, ignore traffic signals, or make an unsafe left turn that directly causes the collision.
Partial Fault
Fault may be shared if both drivers contributed to the crash, such as when one driver is speeding or distracted while the other makes an improper left turn.
No Fault
Certain insurance coverages, such as Personal Injury Protection (PIP), may provide benefits regardless of fault in Texas, even though the state generally follows a fault-based system.
Comparative Fault (Texas Law)
Texas follows a modified comparative fault rule. If a party is 51% or more at fault, they cannot recover damages. If 50% or less, compensation is reduced based on their percentage of responsibility.
