Canyon drivers spend a lot of time on routes that mix fast stretches, stop-and-go traffic, and changing road conditions. When a defect is involved, the defense story often sounds like this:
- “You should’ve maintained it better.”
- “It was just wear and tear.”
- “That warning light doesn’t prove a defect.”
- “The repair shop fixed the problem, so there’s no case.”
In Texas, those arguments can be persuasive to insurance adjusters if the evidence is incomplete. The key is to document early and demand that the investigation address the specific failure—not a generic explanation.
