Fatal Car Accidents in Texas
Motor vehicle accidents across the state of Texas take the lives of more than 366 people every month. These accidents take place far too often and have devastating impacts on those involved. In many instances, drivers and passengers end up losing their lives due to motorists who engage in reckless, malicious, and negligent actions while operating their vehicles.
In Texas we see thousands of people lose their lives in collisions due to drivers who:
- are under the influence of alcohol or drugs while operating their vehicles
- are using their cell phones or are distracted by other means while behind the wheel
- who run red lights and pass stop signs at intersections
- who failed to yield the right of way to other drivers sharing the road
