Car Accidents in Texas

Each year, more than 17,000 people are hospitalized with serious injuries following motor vehicle accidents in our state. Some of the leading causes of crashes include:

  • Drunk driving
  • Distracted driving
  • Speeding
  • Disregarding traffic control devices

In many cases, victims are left with painful injuries that demand immediate and ongoing medical attention. As if dealing with painful injuries was not enough, you will most likely be forced to deal with towering financial consequences from lost wages, medical expenses, and vehicle repairs.

When victims are harmed in accidents because of negligent drivers, they may have legal options available to recover. Although many victims suffer minor injuries that cause no major disruptions in their lives, tens of thousands of people are forced into area hospitals and have to spend weeks off work to recover.

If you have been injured in an accident as a result of another person’s actions, you must take quick action to protect your legal rights. Should you be harmed in an accident, you must seek the assistance of a knowledgeable car accident lawyer in San Antonio as soon as possible.
