Car Accidents in Texas
Texas sees hundreds of thousands of vehicle accidents per year. On average, more than 400,000 car accidents are reported throughout the Lone Star State annually. These accidents result in injuries for thousands of people, and, unfortunately, a large percentage of them are caused by driver negligence. It is the most prominent cause of auto accidents across the United States, accounting for approximately 94% of collisions.
This is a sobering and alarming reality. On average, there are 6 million car accidents per year in the US, which means more than 5 million of those result from drivers choosing to act negligently while behind the wheel. Close to 1,000 people are killed per year due to car accidents in Texas caused by intoxication, one of the most dangerous forms of driver negligence. Some other common forms of driver negligence include fatigue and distraction.
Victims are often forced to pay thousands of dollars for injuries they sustain in serious auto collisions.
