Some Dallas lawyers don’t want to take on cases that involve out-of-state drivers — but not us. Our Dallas car accident law firm is happy to help you after an accident with a driver from another state. We will work to pursue the fullest compensation possible for your damages.
To prove that the other driver caused your accident, you’ll need to show that:
The out-of-state driver owed you a duty of care
The driver breached their duty of care
The driver’s breached duty directly caused your accident
You suffered damages because of the accident
All drivers have a responsibility to drive safely on Dallas roads and not harm others. If a driver acts (or fails to act) in a way that puts your safety at risk, it’s known as negligence. In Texas, a negligent party who causes an accident is legally liable for the damages.
You will need to gather information from the accident scene, maintain thorough documentation of your damages, talk to any eyewitnesses to get statements, and much more to show what happened during the accident. Your lawyer can help you with all of these actions and anything else that enables you to seek the compensation you deserve.
