Car Accidents in Texas

Texas roads experience thousands of car crashes each year, with Houston ranking among the busiest and most accident-prone cities. High-speed roadways like U.S. Highway 59 often see an increase in collisions due to congestion, lane changes, and sudden braking. Many of these accidents lead to serious injuries, requiring immediate medical attention and long-term care.

Here are some of the most common causes of highway accidents:

• Merging and Lane Changes – High speeds and frequent merging increase the risk of sideswipe collisions, especially near exits.
• Rear-End Collisions – Sudden stops in heavy traffic often lead to chain-reaction crashes, causing whiplash and other injuries.
• Distracted Driving – Drivers using their phones or adjusting in-car settings can easily lose focus, leading to serious accidents.
• Speeding and Aggressive Driving – Excessive speed makes it harder to react to traffic conditions, increasing the severity of crashes.
• Poor Road Conditions – Wet roads, construction zones, or debris can cause drivers to lose control, leading to serious accidents.
