Car Accidents in Texas
Every year, thousands of Texans suffer injuries in vehicle accidents. In fact, the Texas Department of Public Safety reported more than 250,000 injury crashes statewide in recent years. Accidents can happen in busy cities or quiet neighborhoods and may lead to life-altering injuries. Many of these incidents are preventable and caused by driver negligence or distraction.
Understanding the aftermath of a crash can be overwhelming. Here are a few common causes of collisions in Texas that drivers should remain aware of:
-
Speeding: Driving over the posted limit reduces reaction time and increases the severity of crashes. In Texas, speeding is one of the top contributors to serious injury accidents.
-
Distracted Driving: From texting to adjusting the radio, distractions pull a driver’s attention from the road. Even a second of distraction can lead to tragic consequences.
-
Failure to Yield: Many accidents occur when drivers fail to yield during turns or at intersections. These mistakes often result in side-impact crashes and significant injuries.
-
Running Red Lights or Stop Signs: Disregarding traffic signals is both dangerous and illegal. Intersections are high-risk areas where driver patience and alertness are critical.
-
Fatigue: Drowsy driving impairs judgment and reaction time, similar to drunk driving. Long hours behind the wheel without rest can be deadly.
-
Impaired Driving: Alcohol and drugs affect motor skills and decision-making. Driving under the influence remains a leading cause of traffic-related fatalities.
