But it can be good evidence that the ticketed driver was careless or driving dangerously. In legal terms, careless behavior is known as <em>negligence<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a lawsuit to recover money for property damage and bodily injuries caused by the accident, the injured victims can show the ticket to a judge or jury. It may help them decide that the ticketed driver was driving <em>negligently<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>You can learn more about the role of traffic tickets in determining guilt in Texas<\/strong> <strong>auto accident lawsuits <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.justinian.com\/faqs\/#does-a-ticket-prove-who-was-at-fault-in-an-accident\"><strong>here<\/strong><\/a><strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have been in a motor vehicle in Texas or Central Texas, you may want to discuss your case with a lawyer.
