Understanding Rear-End Collision Cases

In Buda, rear-end collision cases often trace back to conditions on I-35 and near I-35 frontage roads through Buda. Local drivers and pedestrians encounter these specific risks when navigating these corridors.

- Distracted driving and texting while approaching stopped traffic

Establishing Liability
For rear-end collision claims filed in Hays, liability often turns on evidence gathered from specific Buda locations, including I-35 frontage roads through Buda.
In rear end collision cases, the trailing driver is presumed to be at fault because all drivers have a duty to maintain a safe following distance. This presumption can be rebutted in limited circumstances, such as when the lead vehicle suddenly reverses or has nonfunctioning brake lights. Insurance companies often try to minimize rear end collision claims by arguing the injuries are minor, making it important to document all symptoms and follow through with medical treatment.
Relevant Texas Law
Residents of Buda pursue these claims under the same Texas statutes that govern all state personal injury actions.
Texas Transportation Code Section 545.062 requires drivers to maintain an assured clear distance ahead, which forms the legal basis for rear end collision liability. Even low speed rear end impacts can cause significant injuries, and Texas courts have consistently held that there is no minimum speed threshold for a valid personal injury claim. The two year statute of limitations under Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code Section 16.003 applies to all rear end collision injury claims.
