Texas does not treat a rear end crash as proof of fault. In <a class=\"lnk\" href=\"https:\/\/caselaw.findlaw.com\/court\/tx-court-of-appeals\/1353630.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pearson v. DeBoer, Inc.<\/a>, the court of appeals in Corpus Christi wrote, &ldquo;The mere occurrence of a rear-end automobile accident is not of itself evidence of negligence.&rdquo; With no report, no officer had recorded a finding on fault. We had our client&rsquo;s account, the photos and the statute.<\/p>\r\n            <p>The second problem was the injuries. A concussion and neck injuries leave nothing to photograph. A buckled trunk lid shows a hard hit, but it says little about headaches or trouble sleeping. We knew the case for those injuries would rest on the care records and how they fit together.<\/p>\r\n            <p>The third problem was the policy. The vehicle was insured to a business, and a business policy can be larger than the Texas minimum. The insurer had not disclosed the limit when we had to write the demand, so we wrote it without knowing the ceiling.<\/p>\r\n          <\/section>\r\n\r\n          <section id=\"evidence\" aria-labelledby=\"evidence-title\">\r\n            <span class=\"eyebrow\"><span class=\"num\">04<\/span>The Evidence<\/span>\r\n            <h2 id=\"evidence-title\">Five Pieces of Proof <span class=\"accent\">Behind the Claim<\/span><\/h2>\r\n            <dl class=\"evidence\">\r\n              <div><dt>Our client&rsquo;s account of being stopped<\/dt><dd>The car was at a full stop when it was hit.

It says a plaintiff must prove specific acts of negligence and proximate cause, and that breaching the following distance statute &ldquo;does not create per se negligence,&rdquo; &ldquo;but instead creates the same duty of reasonable care as under the common law.&rdquo; In our file, our client was at a complete stop in traffic and the damage sits on the rear of the car, which fits a hit from directly behind.<\/p>\r\n              <p><span class=\"lbl\">The choice in front of us.<\/span> Rest fault on the statute alone, or tie it to our client&rsquo;s account and the photos. A duty of reasonable care is proved by specific facts and not by the name of a statute, so we gave the second more weight.<\/p>\r\n              <p><span class=\"lbl\">What we did.<\/span> We built the liability section of our demand on the stopped car, the photos and the following distance duty.<\/p>\r\n              <p><span class=\"lbl\">What we can&rsquo;t share.<\/span> How the insurer answered on fault.

The policy covers the claim, the demand stays within the limits, and a prudent insurer would accept the terms given how likely, and how large, a judgment over the limits could be. A demand meant to trigger that duty must offer a full release, and it can name the amount as &ldquo;the policy limits,&rdquo; as our <a class=\"lnk\" href=\"https:\/\/severeinjurylawyers.com\/stowers-demand-texas\/\">Stowers guide<\/a> explains.<\/p>\r\n              <p><span class=\"lbl\">The choice in front of us.<\/span> Wait for the insurer to disclose the limit, or demand the limit by name before we knew it.
