Major infrastructure improvements are being carried out to improve traffic flow for the booming population.

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 Austin 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 Austin 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 through the

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. Austin car accident injury lawyers are skilled in determining
