High-Speed Collisions in Texas
Speeding has been known to play a key role in roadway safety. Without fail, speeding motorists contribute to a high number of serious and fatal collisions across the United States. An estimated 33 people were killed in high-speed crashes each and every day across the country in 2021, with more than 12,000 fatalities. Texas drivers are known to routinely speed as if it is their right to do so. Unfortunately, this can greatly increase the risk of a life-changing car accident. Speed limits are in place to make the roads safer for everyone, but they only work as well as they are followed. If you or someone close to you is seriously hurt by a speeding motorist, you may be able to pursue lost compensation with the help of a trained lawyer.
