Car Accidents in Texas

Every month, more than 320 people are fatally injured in motor vehicle accidents across the state of Texas. These crashes are often preventable, yet we continue to see people die as a result of the negligence of other drivers sharing the road.

Statistics support this claim, finding that more than 80% of fatal accidents are a result of driver error. Some of the leading causes of collisions that we see in Texas include:

  • Drivers who are under the influence of drugs or alcohol
  • Drivers who are using their phones to talk or text while operating their vehicles
  • Drivers who are speeding
  • Failing to yield the right of way
  • Running red lights/passing stop signs
