Wrong-way Crashes in Texas

Simply imagining another car barrelling toward you on the highway can be terrifying. These crashes involving wrong-way drivers can be life-changing. Statistics show that an estimated 500 people are killed annually in these crashes each year. The number of wrong-way deaths on American roads has increased by nearly 34 percent in recent years. The majority of the accidents involve impaired motorists, and elderly drivers are another common risk. However, distracted driving has also been found to play a role. No matter what causes your accident, you are able to pursue lost compensation by pursuing a personal injury claim with the help of a trained attorney. 

Serious crashes can be life-changing. In a matter of seconds, you can find yourself with severe injuries and other damages that you are not ready to handle on your own. You do not want to be held liable for mounting debts if you are not at fault for the accident. Under the law, you can file a personal injury claim against the at-fault party’s insurance provider in order to recover lost compensation. However, this is just the beginning of a lengthy recovery process. The insurance company will do everything in its power to limit your ultimate compensation.
