Car Accidents in Texas

Texas is no stranger to car accidents, with thousands occurring annually across the state. In 2023 alone, over 200,000 people were injured in traffic-related incidents. Houston, as one of the state’s largest cities, frequently sees a high number of collisions due to heavy traffic and fast-paced roadways.

Several key issues often contribute to car accidents, including:

1. Distracted Driving: Using phones, eating, or any activity that diverts attention from driving is a leading cause of accidents.
2. Speeding: High-speed crashes tend to result in more severe injuries, making it critical to adhere to posted speed limits.
3. Failure to Yield: Not yielding the right-of-way at intersections or merging lanes is a frequent cause of crashes.
4. Road Conditions: Potholes, debris, and wet surfaces can make driving more hazardous. Regular road maintenance and cautious driving are essential.
