Car Accidents in Texas

Every year, thousands of car accidents are reported on Texas roadways, with many resulting in injuries and fatalities. In 2022, the Texas Department of Transportation reported over 200,000 injury crashes, highlighting the frequency of these incidents. Contributing factors like distracted driving, speeding, and failure to obey traffic signals remain prevalent causes.

Accidents can create a ripple effect of challenges for victims. Here are some important points to keep in mind if you’ve been involved in a collision:

• Injuries Often Take Time to Present: While some injuries, like fractures or lacerations, are immediately evident, others, such as concussions or internal damage, might not appear until hours or days after a crash.
• The Role of Fault in Texas: Texas follows a modified comparative fault rule, meaning that accident victims can seek compensation as long as they are not more than 50% responsible for the incident.
• Emotional Impact: Beyond physical injuries, car accidents can lead to emotional trauma, including anxiety, PTSD, or depression. It’s important to seek support or counseling if needed.
• Navigating Financial Recovery: Medical bills, lost wages, and property repairs can quickly overwhelm victims. Filing an injury claim can help recover some of these costs.
