Texas Speed Law and Fault

Transportation Code §545.351 says no one may drive faster than is reasonable and prudent under the conditions. A driver can break this rule while under the posted limit. Speeding also shortens reaction time and lengthens stopping distance, which is why it shows up in rear-end, intersection, and head-on crashes.

Fault can be shared. Under CPRC chapter 33, your damages are reduced by your share of blame and barred if it exceeds 50%.

Why Drivers Speed on Fort Worth Roads

Long, wide corridors like I-35W, I-20, Loop 820, and Chisholm Trail Parkway invite high speeds, and construction zones change traffic patterns fast. Common reasons drivers speed include:

Running late or impatience in traffic
Racing or weaving between lanes
Ignoring reduced limits in work zones and school zones
Driving too fast for rain or low visibility

Injuries and Damages in a Speeding Crash

The faster the impact, the worse the injuries tend to be. Speeding crashes often involve brain injuries, fractures, and spinal injuries. Your claim can include economic damages such as medical bills and lost earnings, plus pain, suffering, and impairment. You generally have two years to file suit.

Fort Worth Speeding Accident FAQs

How do you prove the other driver was speeding?

Common proof includes the vehicle's event data recorder, skid marks and crush damage analyzed by a reconstruction professional, traffic or dashcam video, and witness estimates. The police report may also note speed. We ask that the vehicles be preserved before they are repaired or scrapped.

Can a driver going the speed limit still be at fault?

Yes. Texas law requires a speed that is reasonable and prudent for actual conditions. Driving the posted limit through heavy rain, fog, a construction zone, or stopped traffic can still be negligent if it causes a crash.

What injuries are common in high-speed crashes?

Higher speeds mean greater force, so injuries tend to be more severe: traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, broken bones, internal injuries, and burns. These injuries often require long treatment and can affect your ability to work, which raises the value of the claim.
