Texas Pedestrian Accidents

A fatal traffic accident can have a detrimental effect on the lives of everyone involved including the surviving loved ones of the deceased and everyone who was involved or injured in it. 

Texas traffic accidents can occur for a multitude of different reasons, and unfortunately, a large percentage of these reasons are preventable yet negligent human behaviors. According to statistics compiled concerning the nationwide accident rate, approximately 94% of all traffic accidents in the United States can be attributed to driver negligence. In Texas, one of the leading causes of traffic accidents is drunk/intoxicated driving, which contributes to over 40% of all traffic accidents in the Lone Star state. On average, intoxication claims the lives of over 1,000 people per year in Texas. 

When people are seriously injured in an accident, it can be frightening and life-changing.  When someone loses their life in an accident, it’s shocking to the families left behind.  If you have been injured in a car wreck t that was caused by another driver, you should talk to a car wreck lawyer as soon as possible to ensure that your rights are protected.  If you have lost a loved one in an accident that was not their fault, it’s crucial that you contact a Corpus Christi wrongful death attorney right away to ensure your rights are protected.
