Many pedestrians and bicyclists complain that the roadways are only safe for drivers. They often base their complaint on the fact that cars can usually inflict more harm on pedestrians than vice versa.
For that reason, San Antonio, along with a number of cities, is considering passing a safe-passing law. The law would likely make punishments for such accidents more severe for drivers.

Many personal injury lawsuits never go to trial. Instead, both parties decide to settle the case out of court.
The settlement will often include payments or other provisions that are accepted by both parties. Many of these details will be sorted out by both parties’ lawyers.
However, the lawyers cannot reach a settlement agreement without their clients’ approval. This means that clients have the final say in their settlements.

Vicarious liability is a type of legal liability in which individuals are liable of torts even if they are not directly involved in the accident.
The most common type of vicarious liability occurs when an employer is liable for an employee’s tort. Proving vicarious liability, however, can be difficult.
For instance, if an employee is using a company car and gets in a wreck, then the company may be guilty of vicarious liability. On the other hand, if an employee is driving a personal car and causes a car accident, then vicarious liability cannot be established.
If you or anyone you know has questions about vicarious liability, contact the San Antonio personal injury lawyers of Stouwie & Mayo at 210-999-9999.
