You can challenge the other driver’s account with physical evidence, photos and video, documents, witness testimony, and additional evidence that contradicts what the driver says happened. Because competing statements rarely resolve a fault dispute on their own, preserving available evidence after a collision can be important.
Official documentation can provide useful evidence. The responding officer’s Texas Peace Officer’s Crash Report, also known as Form CR-3, may document information about the drivers and vehicles, the location and circumstances of the crash, contributing factors identified by the officer, and other observations recorded during the investigation. Photographs showing skid marks, road debris, weather conditions, and vehicle damage can also help reconstruct how the collision occurred.
Third-party testimony and electronic data can provide additional verification. Statements from uninvolved witnesses can support or contradict a driver’s account, while dashcam footage or available security-camera video may show the collision itself. Some vehicles also contain an Event Data Recorder that can record certain information associated with a crash, depending on the vehicle and system. Medical records can separately document the nature and timing of injuries and treatment.
