Wrong-way Collisions in Texas

Severe injuries are often caused by wrong-way crashes, which are often terrible and completely unforeseen events. During a recent three-year study, over 2,000 people died nationwide from wrong-way collisions, corresponding to a death toll of nearly 500 people per year, marking a nearly 34 percent increase. The majority of these accidents involve intoxicated drivers. When a driver travels in the wrong direction on the road, they are at risk of causing a devastating head-on collision. These types of crashes are particularly lethal and have a nearly 56 percent fatality rate, according to statistics from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). A skilled lawyer who is willing to fight for justice is essential if you or a loved one is seriously injured in an unexpected car accident.
