Car Accidents in Texas
Serious car crashes like this one are becoming more common across Texas. With millions of drivers on the road and some of the busiest highways in the nation, Texas consistently records one of the highest numbers of traffic crashes each year.
Many of these crashes occur because of preventable behavior. Speeding, tailgating, and distracted driving remain leading causes of severe and fatal collisions. Other common factors include driver fatigue, aggressive driving, and failure to yield at intersections. Even a split-second mistake can cause a devastating crash that changes lives forever.
The injuries that follow are often catastrophic. Victims may suffer broken bones, spinal cord injuries, internal bleeding, or traumatic brain injuries. Recovery can take months or years, with costly medical bills, lost income, and emotional trauma affecting entire families. The physical and financial strain can make it difficult to move forward without professional help.
If you were hurt in a crash caused by a negligent driver, you may be entitled to compensation for:
- Medical Expenses: This includes hospital care, surgeries, medications, and ongoing treatment.
- Lost Wages: You may receive compensation for income lost while recovering.
