Who Should Pay for Your Injuries and Property Damage?

Fault is a very important part of car accident cases. In Texas, we follow a comparative negligence rule. That means that if you can show that you were not the "proximate cause" of the accident — that you are less than 51 percent responsible for what happened — you may be able to recover damages. In practical terms, if you are found to be 25 percent responsible for the car accident, for example, the amount you can receive will be reduced by an amount that reflects your share of the fault.

At Adame & Associates, we apply our extensive experience in accident investigation and a real determination to help victims of negligence obtain maximum recovery in a full range of auto accident cases in the Houston area, including those caused by:

• Using a cell phone or texting while driving
• General driver inattentiveness in intersections, at stop signs or while entering or exiting driveways
• Unsafe or improperly marked highway construction zones
• Young or inexperienced drivers
• Elderly or impaired drivers
• Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs (DWI accidents)
• Faulty traffic lights and improper signage
• Missing or obscured traffic warning signs (often knocked down or covered by debris following a storm or hurricane)
• Road rage or other reckless behavior
• Vehicle design defects that cause serious injury or cause the vehicle to roll over

If you have suffered any injury — from whiplash to a severe, life-changing injury or the loss of a loved one — in a car accident in the Texas Gulf Coast region, an attorney at Adame & Associates can get to work quickly to uncover the cause of your accident and hold the responsible party accountable.
