Fatal Car Accidents in Texas
Motor vehicle accidents in Texas claim the lives of nearly 4,000 people every year. In many cases, victims suffer fatal injuries in accidents due to the negligent actions of other drivers sharing the road. In fact, nearly 80% of crashes in our state are due to driver action. Some leading causes of motor vehicle accidents we see each year include:
- Speeding
- Driving recklessly
- Driving while impaired by drugs or alcohol
- Eating while operating vehicles
- Using cell phones to talk or text while driving
Sharing roads with drivers who disregard the safety of others drastically increases the chances that accidents will occur.
