How Did This Accident Occur?

Obviously, claims of a driver running a stop sign are pretty serious. If that is what happened here, then that would certainly explain how a crash happened. That explanation, though, could extend further behind the scenes.

For example, there would be a big difference between a driver running a stop sign because they were texting versus a driver running a stop sign because they were intoxicated. Or, maybe they were working at the time and under unreasonable pressure to meet a deadline. Different explanations can involve different legal avenues, so it’s important victims and families have more than just an easy “bad guy” to point their finger at. Knowing all of the facts helps ensure they get the best outcome possible under Texas law.
