Fatal Auto Accidents in Texas
Each year, more than 3,900 people lose their lives in auto accidents across the state of Texas. More than 500 people are using motorcycles at the time of their accidents. Riders are not protected against the impact of other vehicles during crashes. As a result, they are left completely vulnerable to being severely harmed.
Victims can lose their lives in crashes for a variety of reasons. Sharing roads with drivers who engage in negligent actions can drastically increase the chances that accidents will occur. In fact, nearly 80% of accidents in our state are due to driver error. Some leading causes of collisions we see each year include:
- Driving while impaired by drugs or alcohol
- Using cell phones to talk or text while driving
- Eating while operating vehicles
- Speeding
- Driving recklessly
