Car Accidents in Texas

Texas roads see thousands of crashes each year, with Houston among the cities experiencing the highest traffic accident rates. In 2023, the Texas Department of Transportation reported over 600,000 collisions statewide, many resulting in severe injuries or fatalities. Highways are particularly prone to accidents due to heavy traffic and frequent lane changes.

Here are some key safety tips to help reduce the risk of car accidents:

• Maintain a Safe Following Distance – Keeping enough space between your vehicle and others allows time to react to sudden stops or lane changes.
• Stay Aware of Surroundings – Constantly scanning the road for potential hazards, including sudden traffic slowdowns or reckless drivers, can prevent collisions.
• Use Turn Signals – Signaling your intentions in advance gives other drivers time to adjust, reducing the likelihood of side-impact crashes.
• Avoid Distractions – Refrain from using your phone, adjusting controls, or engaging in other distractions while driving. Even a momentary lapse in attention can lead to a crash.
• Drive at a Safe Speed – Following speed limits and adjusting for road conditions can significantly decrease the severity of an accident.
