Car Accidents in Texas
Car accidents in Texas are an unfortunate reality, with the state consistently reporting some of the highest numbers of traffic-related incidents in the country. In 2022 alone, there were over 600,000 motor vehicle crashes across Texas, according to the Texas Department of Transportation. These accidents resulted in 4,489 fatalities and tens of thousands of injuries, many of which were life-altering. The financial and emotional toll on victims and their families is often overwhelming, especially when injuries are severe or when a loved one is lost.
Houston, as one of Texas’s largest and busiest cities, is particularly prone to traffic accidents. The city’s extensive roadways and high traffic volumes contribute to a significant portion of the state’s overall car accidents. Whether due to distracted driving, speeding, or reckless behavior, these accidents often leave victims struggling with mounting medical bills, lost wages, and the pain and suffering that follows.
