Commentary:
The details of this accident are virtually nonexistent, but people may be confused as to how things in chain-reaction accidents are handled after-the-fact. In the State of Texas, we have a system that is used by the majority of the nation called contributory negligence, also known as comparative fault, which lets a jury do the legwork in situations where witnesses statements are conflicting, or if accident investigators cannot come to a consensus. While not perfect, this allows a subjective party to distribute fault as they see fit based on the evidence at hand.
