Corpus Christ Auto Accidents
Helping You Determine Fault
Among the many traffic violations causing accidents, speeding in school zones is
particularly risky. Hitting a pedestrian often leads to a fatal accident. Of the
31 fatal accidents in 2004, 12 were pedestrians hit by a motor vehicle according
to NTHSA data. Corpus Christi police have announced a crackdown on school speed
zone violators to help prevent these types of pedestrian accidents, especially among
children. If you or a loved one has been in an automobile accident and feel you
are not at fault or only partially at fault Corpus Christi car accident injury lawyers
can help you understand the law in your situation. The lawyers at Carabin & Shaw
are skilled in auto accident cases 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 Corpus Christi 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 Corpus
Christi 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

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. Corpus Christi car accident injury lawyers are skilled
