SERVICES OF LAKHANI & MCGRATH
Passenger Negligence Accident Fault
Determining fault can require examining driver behavior, roadway conditions, vehicle maintenance, insurance coverage, and other factors. A Passenger Negligence Accident Lawyer can investigate whether the driver or another party caused the collision.
Full Fault
When one party is primarily responsible, that party may be liable for medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, pain, and suffering.
Partial Fault
Multiple parties may share responsibility when more than one person's conduct contributes to the collision. Compensation may be reduced according to the applicable percentage of fault.
No Fault
If you did not contribute to the crash, you may pursue compensation from the responsible driver or another liable party. A Passenger Negligence Accident Lawyer can help protect your passenger rights.
Comparative Fault (Texas Law)
Texas follows a modified comparative fault system. If you are 51% or more responsible, you generally cannot recover damages. If you are 50% or less responsible, compensation may be reduced according to your percentage of fault. (Refer: Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code §33.001.)
