Under Texas law, a driver is legally required to pay attention to road conditions, including other cars. If a driver fails to pay attention, accidents often result. A driver who breaches this duty is said to have failed to maintain a proper lookout. Any injuries that result from an auto accident caused by this breach of duty is grounds for legal recovery in Texas.

Texas law also requires that all operators of motor vehicles maintain adequate financial responsibility. Typically, this financial responsibility takes the form of auto liability insurance. In Texas, the minimum coverage amount is $20000 per person and $40000 per accident. The insurance policies are what most drivers use to ensure that they can compensate auto accident victims for injuries sustained as a result of the insured's negligence.

Texas law also recognizes that differing parties can sue many parties after an auto accident. The passengers of a vehicle, in addition to the driver, may sue the negligent driver. Sometimes, the passengers of one car can sue the driver of that same car, if the passengers'' injuries resulted from an auto accident caused by their driver's negligence. An injured person who was involved in an auto accident may also be able to sue the negligent driver's employer, if that negligent driver was in the course and scope of their normal job duties.
