Car Accidents in Texas
Each year, thousands of people suffer injuries in car accidents across Texas. The state consistently ranks among those with the highest number of motor vehicle crashes. According to the Texas Department of Transportation, over 4,000 fatalities and hundreds of thousands of injuries result from collisions annually. Congested roadways, high-speed limits, and distracted driving all contribute to the number of crashes seen throughout the state.
While every accident is unique, there are common reasons why crashes occur. Some of the most frequently reported causes of car accidents in Texas include:
- Driver Distraction – Whether due to texting, adjusting the radio, or other in-car activities, distractions can lead to dangerous situations on the road.
- Speeding – Excessive speed reduces reaction time and increases the likelihood of severe injuries or fatalities in the event of a crash.
- Running Red Lights – Intersection accidents are common when drivers ignore traffic signals, often resulting in high-impact collisions.
- Impaired Driving – Alcohol and drug use impair judgment and reaction times, making DUI-related crashes a serious issue.
- Failure to Yield – Many accidents happen when drivers fail to yield the right-of-way, particularly at intersections or while merging onto highways.
