Car Accidents in Texas

Car accidents are a daily occurrence in Texas, with thousands of crashes reported each year. According to the Texas Department of Transportation, more than 15,000 serious injury crashes occur annually across the state, often leaving victims facing lengthy recoveries. High-traffic areas, such as highways and intersections, are particularly prone to accidents due to congestion, speeding, and driver inattention.

Understanding why crashes happen can help prevent them. Here are some leading causes of vehicle collisions:

• Speeding – Excessive speed reduces reaction time and increases the severity of crashes.
• Distracted Driving – Texting, talking on the phone, or using in-car entertainment systems can take a driver's focus off the road.
• Failure to Yield – Many accidents happen when drivers disregard traffic signals or fail to yield the right-of-way.
• Impaired Driving – Alcohol or drug use significantly impairs judgment, coordination, and reaction time.
• Weather Conditions – Rain, fog, or icy roads make driving hazardous and increase the likelihood of crashes.
