Car Accidents in Texas

Automobile accidents in Texas leave thousands of people injured every month. Unfortunately, many people involved in these accidents are left with injuries so serious that they require both immediate and long-term care. It is common to see victims of Texas car crashes left with injuries to the head, broken bones, and even internal organ injuries following their accidents.

Unfortunately, there are a significant number of accidents that take place due to entirely preventable circumstances. Common factors in many of the accidents across our state include:

Speeding: Drivers who operate their vehicles at too high of a speed run the risk of losing control and crashing into others. Speeding also increases the severity of many injuries due to the force of the impact.

Failing to Yield: When drivers do not yield the right-of-way to other vehicles, they can crash into them and cause severe harm. These accidents take place quite often at intersections, near entrances to parking lots, and at various other locations across the state.

Distractions: In 2017, Texas lawmakers banned the use of cell phones and other handheld devices while driving. Unfortunately, this has not stopped many drivers from texting, talking on the road, or even browsing the Internet while operating their vehicles. Cell phones and other distractions continue to be a leading factor in many of the crashes that take place across our state.
