Deadly Car Crashes in Texas

Given the size of Texas and its many miles of roads and highways, an automobile accident could occur at nearly any time. For most Texans, driving is a way of life, and we all spend a lot of time behind the wheel. Sadly, this only increases the chance of getting into a car accident. Since November 7, 2000, there has not been a single day in the state without a crash. In all, 244,092 people in the state had injuries in auto accidents in 2022. An estimated 51.42 percent of traffic fatalities in the state take place on rural roads. Texas has one of the highest rates of auto accidents in the country, second only to California. 

Deadly car crashes are extremely difficult, and families are frequently left to cope with unexpected expenses while they mourn the loss of a loved one. Even considering legal action during this trying time can be too much to handle. After a tragic car accident, Texas state law gives surviving family members the chance to file a wrongful death claim to get the money that would have gone to the deceased if they had survived. During this trying time, a knowledgeable lawyer can guide you through the complex claims procedure and safeguard your legal rights. You need to do everything possible to make sure that the at-fault party is brought to justice.
