Car Accidents in Texas
Each year, thousands of crashes occur on Texas roadways, resulting in serious injuries and fatalities. The Texas Department of Transportation reports that in a recent year, the state saw over 15,000 severe injury crashes. Many accidents are caused by speeding, impaired driving, and failure to yield.
Motor vehicle accidents can lead to lasting challenges. Here are some of the most common causes of collisions:
- Distracted Driving – Using a phone, adjusting the radio, or eating while driving can take a motorist’s attention off the road, increasing the risk of a crash.
- Speeding – Driving above the speed limit reduces reaction time and increases the severity of accidents. High-speed crashes often result in serious or fatal injuries.
- Drunk Driving – Impaired drivers have slower reflexes and poor judgment, making them a major risk to everyone on the road. Texas has one of the highest rates of alcohol-related crashes in the nation.
- Failure to Yield – Many collisions occur when drivers fail to yield at intersections or when merging onto highways, leading to dangerous side-impact or rear-end crashes.
- Poor Weather Conditions – Rain, fog, and ice can make roadways hazardous, increasing the risk of losing control and causing an accident.
After a crash, victims may face overwhelming medical bills and other expenses. If you were hurt in a collision, speaking with an auto accident lawyer can help you understand your options.
