Fatal Bicycle Accidents in Texas
Motor vehicle collisions in Texas claim the lives of nearly 4,000 people every year. In many cases, people end up suffering fatal injuries in crashes due to the negligent actions of other drivers sharing the road. Regrettably, there are many instances where bicyclists are harmed in auto wrecks due to negligence and reckless motorists. Some of the leading causes of pedestrian accidents in Texas include:
- Failing to yield the right of way
- Distraction
- Running red lights
- Speeding
- Impairment
Sharing roads with drivers who are reckless, negligent, and malicious while traveling can drastically increase the chances that accidents will occur. When victims lose their lives in crashes, surviving family members often have to spend tens of thousands of dollars on funeral expenses, deal with lost earnings, and are overcome by the mental and financial consequences that continue to compound.
