At around 5:00 a.m. on November 10, calls for help came in regarding a crash that occurred on US Highway 83.
According to reports provided by the Texas Department of Public Safety, a white Ford pickup truck was traveling on the highway when the driver lost control of their vehicle on the southbound side of the road near mile marker 746.
As a result, the vehicle entered the northbound lanes, where it collided with a red Ford pickup truck. After the initial collision, the white pickup truck was struck by a gray Toyota SUV.
The occupants of all of the involved vehicles sustained injuries. The victims were all transported to area hospitals for emergency care. The driver of the white pickup truck was subsequently transported to a hospital in the San Antonio area.
At this time, the incident is being investigated.
We hope the injured victims recover quickly.
Car Accidents in Texas
Texas car accidents send nearly 20,000 people to area hospitals with severe injuries that have a dramatic impact on their lives. Unfortunately, victims of automobile collisions are likely to suffer severe injuries that demand extensive medical care. Trauma to the head, broken bones, internal organ injuries, and even spinal cord injuries can be completely life-altering.
Far too often, victims have to go through extensive medical treatment and spend weeks or even months going through therapy and rehabilitation. Depending on the severity of an injury, victims may even be left permanently disabled and never able to work again.
After being harmed in a car crash, victims have the ability to take legal action against the responsible party. In order to be successful in filing a personal injury claim, you must be able to demonstrate that some form of negligence contributed to the crash. This could be:
- Drivers who are traveling too fast for road conditions
- Drivers who are under the influence of alcohol or drugs while behind the wheel
- Drivers who failed to yield the right-of-way to other vehicles
- Drivers who switch lanes recklessly
- Drivers who tailgate other vehicles
A successful personal injury claim can help you recover compensation for a variety of damages that you face. This can include compensation for:
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Medical expenses
- Lost wages
- Property damage
- Loss of consortium
