The Law of Negligence
Fault in auto accidents is often decided using what is known as the law of negligence. This is a technique used by car accident lawyers and courts to require negligent drivers to pay for damage caused by their negligence. This includes damage to the vehicle and driver.

When determining negligence, courts consider several factors. Your car accident lawyer in the Dallas and Fort Worth area can advise you about the law of negligence, but some of the factors used to determine negligence include:

• Driving on the wrong side of the road
• Driving at a speed that is too fast or too slow for the posted speed limit
• Operating a vehicle under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs
• Failure to use signals when turning
• Driving in a manner that is unsafe for weather or traffic conditions
• Failure to obey traffic signs and signals
• Driving on the wrong side of the road

There are additional factors that are used to determine fault in an accident, such as:

• Willful disregard, or intentional reckless conduct
• Product liability if accidents are caused by a defect in the vehicle
• In some cases of intoxication, the alcohol provider can be found at fault
