Car Accidents in Texas

Each year, thousands of crashes take place on Texas roads, leaving many people injured or facing financial hardships. According to the Texas Department of Transportation, nearly one person is injured in a car accident every two minutes statewide. The high volume of traffic and numerous urban intersections contribute to a significant number of these crashes.

To better understand the dangers on Texas roadways, here are some common causes of collisions:

• Intersection Accidents: Many crashes occur at intersections when drivers run red lights, fail to yield, or misjudge the speed of oncoming traffic.
• Reckless Driving: Aggressive behaviors such as tailgating, weaving through traffic, and speeding increase the likelihood of a crash.
• Impaired Driving: Alcohol and drug use significantly impair reaction time and decision-making, leading to severe or fatal collisions.
• Drowsy Driving: Fatigue can be just as dangerous as intoxication, affecting a driver's ability to focus and react in time to prevent an accident.
• Mechanical Failures: Tire blowouts, brake failures, and other vehicle malfunctions can lead to sudden and dangerous crashes.
