In Texas, you can sue for distracted driving only if the other driver was at fault. If so, you may be able to recover compensation for your medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering and any other losses the accident may have caused. You must establish that the other driver in your case was at fault and prove the extent of your damages.
In order to have a successful lawsuit or claim. You and your legal representative (if you hired representation) have to prove that the other driver in your case behaved negligently. There are four necessary elements for a negligence claim:
When you think of distracted driving you think of texting and driving, there are several other tasks that can take a driver’s focus off the road initially causing a distraction which causes an accident. Some examples of these behaviors include:
Do you believe that the other driver was at fault for your injuries and damages. Here are the options you have if so:
To pursue recovery, your first option would be to file a claim with the other driver’s insurance company. The other driver’s insurance company may deny your claim or if they do not deny your claim, they may offer you a settlement. You can then accept the settlement or negotiate for a higher amount.
If you file a claim and the other driver’s insurance company denies your claim and offers you an unfair settlement. You can then hire a personal injury attorney (Attorney Tom) to file a lawsuit and take your case to court and attempt to persuade the judge or jury to issue a verdict in your favor.
Now that we have covered your legal options after a distracted driving accident. It is now important that you can provide a clear evidence that the other driver was at fault. Doing the following steps can help establish your claim:
If you can provide any documentation you have collected. Such as medical records, eyewitness reports, police reports and more.
Gathering the following types of evidence may help you establish liability and the value of your damages:
In the state of Texas, there is a two-year statute of limitations on personal injury cases. Which includes distracted driving accident cases. If you fail to bring forth a lawsuit within this two-year period, you may then be unable to take legal action to pursue any type of recovery.
