While it’s true most automobile collisions occur between cars,
more often than you might suspect a vehicle crashes into a building. In Fort
Worth yesterday, that’s exactly what happened. The driver of a pickup truck
blacked out, having failed to take the appropriate medication, and slammed into
a Fort Worth meeting hall, injuring two victims and destroying the wall of the
edifice.
Is the driver liable for the women’s injuries and the property
damage to the landowner? This question – important to all accident victims and anyone
who might be responsible for an accident – is governed by Texas tort law in
general and, in particular, the law of negligence. If the driver’s failure to
take medication was due to a careless breach of a known duty, then he may be
liable. On the other hand, if the accident truly was accidental, then it’s
possible Texas law would not compel him to pay for damages.
