Fort Worth Tailgating Accident Lawyers

Texas Transportation Code §545.062 requires drivers to maintain a safe following distance — not defined by a specific number of seconds, but by what is 'reasonable and prudent.' Tailgating at highway speeds gives a driver fractions of a second to react to a slowdown or stop, making rear-end crashes almost inevitable. We use dashcam footage, traffic camera video, and crash reconstruction to demonstrate the following distance a driver was maintaining at the time of impact and show why it was unreasonable under the conditions on that day on that Fort Worth road.

Damages You Can Recover

  • Past and future medical expenses
  • Lost wages and loss of earning capacity
  • Pain and suffering
  • Mental anguish and emotional distress
  • Physical impairment and disfigurement
  • Property damage

Two-Year Statute of Limitations (§16.003): You have two years from the date of injury to file suit. Modified Comparative Fault (§33.001): You may recover as long as you are not more than 50% at fault. No fee unless we win.

How soon should I contact a Fort Worth attorney after my accident?
Immediately. Evidence — dashcam footage, surveillance video, witness availability — deteriorates quickly. Early legal involvement protects your rights and strengthens your case.
Should I give a recorded statement to the insurance company?
No. Insurance adjusters use recorded statements to find grounds to minimize or deny your claim. Contact our office before speaking with any insurance representative.
