Car Accidents in Texas

Car accidents occur daily in Texas, resulting in tens of thousands of injuries statewide each year. Many of these incidents could have been prevented. Key factors contributing to collisions include:

• Poor Road Conditions: Issues such as potholes, uneven surfaces, faded lane markings, and inadequate or missing road signs can significantly increase the risk of accidents. These hazards make it harder for drivers to maintain control of their vehicles and react effectively to their surroundings, especially in poor weather or at night.
• Vehicle Defects: Malfunctions in critical components like brakes, tires, steering systems, or even faulty airbags can lead to serious crashes. Regular vehicle maintenance and inspections are essential to prevent these issues, yet many accidents occur due to overlooked or undetected mechanical problems.
• Improper Lane Changes: Failing to check blind spots, use turn signals, or assess the speed and distance of other vehicles when changing lanes can result in dangerous collisions. These actions are often linked to driver inattention, impatience, or lack of experience, putting everyone on the road at risk.
