Texas Car Accidents

There is always a chance of being involved in a car crash when traveling on Texas roads. The state has one of the highest vehicle fatality rates in the country.

According to findings from the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), a crash is reported every one minute and seven seconds, someone is killed in a collision every two hours and 15 minutes, and someone is hurt in a Texas collision every two minutes and 34 seconds. The state has experienced a nearly 7 percent increase in traffic fatalities in a recent year. If you or someone close to you is hurt in a serious collision, you must partner with a trained attorney in order to pursue compensation to cover your injuries and other damages.
