If you’ve been involved in a car accident in Wichita Falls or Dallas, you're likely facing a whirlwind of questions and feelings of being overwhelmed. Who’s responsible? Who will pay for your medical bills, your repairs, and your lost income? How do you make ends meet? And what happens if the insurance company refuses pay?
At Booker Law, we specialize in helping car accident victims navigate the aftermath of car accidents with clarity, compassion, and relentless legal support.
Understanding Fault in Wichita Falls and Dallas Car Accidents
Texas is an “at-fault” state. At fault means that the individual who caused the accident is the one that is legally responsible for paying for the damages caused by the accident. With that being said, determining fault isn’t always straightforward. It may depend on a variety of factors, including the police reports, witness statements, dashcam footage, and more.
Often times, insurance companies will try to assign a percentage of fault to each party involved — and under Texas’s modified comparative negligence rule, if the person bringing the claim is found to be more than 50% responsible for the accident, they won’t be able to recover any compensation.
This makes having a skilled legal advocate essential. Our team investigates your accident thoroughly to build a strong case and fight for your right to full and fair compensation.
Who Pays After an Accident?
Once fault is established, the at-fault driver’s insurance typically covers:
- Medical expenses
- Lost wages
- Vehicle repairs or replacement
- Pain and suffering
But insurance companies often undervalue claims or delay payment. That’s where we step in — to hold them accountable and ensure you’re not left footing the bill for someone else’s mistake.
