Fatal Car Crashes in Texas

Given the size of Texas and its many miles of roads and highways, it shouldn't come as much of a surprise that the state experiences a high number of collisions. For most residents, driving is a way of life, and they spend a lot of time behind the wheel. Sadly, this only serves to increase 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 ended in injuries in auto accidents in 2022, and an estimated 51.42 percent of traffic fatalities in the state occurred on country roads. With California at the top, the state had the second-highest rate of auto accidents in the past year. You do not want to be left struggling to handle the aftermath of a serious crash on your own.
