Car Accidents in Texas
Texas highways are some of the busiest in the country, with thousands of crashes occurring each month. I-20, which cuts through East and North Texas, sees frequent collisions due to high speeds, dense traffic, and ongoing construction zones. Data from the Texas Department of Transportation shows that in 2023 alone, more than 15,000 serious injury crashes were recorded across the state.
For those caught in a crash, knowing what comes next can help reduce confusion and stress:
- Understand Insurance Coverage: Texas drivers are required to carry minimum liability insurance, but that may not be enough in serious crashes. Uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage can provide added protection if the at-fault driver has limited or no insurance.
- Seek Immediate Medical Evaluation: Even if you don’t feel injured at first, adrenaline can mask pain. A medical professional can assess for soft tissue damage, concussions, or internal injuries that might appear later.
- Track All Expenses: Keep a record of medical bills, car repair estimates, rental car costs, and missed work days. These documents are critical when filing a claim for compensation.
- Follow Up with Your Doctor: Stick to all recommended medical treatments and follow-ups. Gaps in care can make it harder to prove the full extent of your injuries later.
- Avoid Speaking to the Other Driver’s Insurance Alone: Insurance adjusters may try to minimize your claim. It’s best to have an attorney review any communication or offers before you respond.
