We Will Help You Determine Fault
McAllen Auto Accidents - Call Us Today
Certain accidents are almost always the fault of the other driver. For instance,
accidents from a driver making a left hand turn are usually the turning car’s fault.
There are exceptions to this but you have to prove:
- The car going straight was speeding.
- The car going straight ran the red light.
- The car turning left had a safe spot to turn but something happened to cause the
vehicle to slow down or stop.
These are difficult to prove, but if you have been in an accident similar to one
of these situations you need the help of McAllen automobile accident injury attorneys.
McAllen automobile accident injury attorneys understand the traffic laws and can
help you determine who is at fault in your accident.
Many factors are considered when determining fault in a motor vehicle accident.
These factors include, but are not limited to:
- disobeying traffic signs or signals;
- failing to signal while turning;
- driving above or below the posted speed limit;
- disregarding weather or traffic conditions;
- failing to drive on the right side of the road; and
- driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
Experienced McAllen car accident injury lawyers will look to police reports, witnesses,
and state traffic laws to better determine fault in the accident. Causes of motor
vehicle accidents can help determine fault. Aggressive driving or “road rage” is
alarmingly becoming more frequent. Some indicators of aggressive driving include
excessive speed, frequent or careless lane changing, using an emergency lane or
shoulder to pass and failing to signal intent among others. Contact McAllen car
accident injury lawyers immediately if you feel you may be a victim of an aggressive
driver. Carabin & Shaw PC, can inform you of rights and guide you through the next

Another cause of auto accidents affecting who is at fault is mechanical defect or
failure of the motor vehicle. These types of accidents are not the fault of the
driver of the vehicle, but possibly the manufacturer or a mechanic who failed to
repair the car properly. McAllen car accident injury lawyers are skilled in determining
