Every year, more than 3800 people lose their lives in motor vehicle accidents across the state of Texas. This averages out to more than ten people suffering fatal injuries as a result of collisions every day.
There are many reasons why motor vehicle accidents take place across our state. The majority of collisions can be contributed to the negligence of another person. Some of the most common causes of crashes in our state include:
