Often times, in Texas at least, the legal question comes down to "who had the last chance to avoid the accident?" Even if someone runs a stop sign or red light, you still can't just T-Bone them if it's avoidable. Another legal question is "did he keep a proper lookout?". Even if someone else ran the stop sign or light, if you weren't paying attention, you could still be at least partly liable. Most of this is just rephrasing what others have already said. Just keep driving defensively and avoid those accidents. Good luck avoiding the loonies.
