Every day, millions of cars, trucks, and motorcycles travel across the roadways of Texas. Our state had more than 20 million registered vehicles in 2007, the second highest total of any state. With so many vehicles on the road, accidents that leave motorists with serious injuries are inevitable. Sometimes those accidents are deadly. In 2007, more than 3,400 people lost their lives on Texas highways.
Accidents involving passenger cars can happen virtually anywhere, from the crowded lanes of high-speed interstates to a quiet neighborhood cul-de-sac. Drunk driving continues to be one of the major factors for car accidents, despite tough penalties for driving while intoxicated in Texas. Driver inattention and speeding are also to blame, particularly at intersections where drivers run red lights or stop signs to gain a few extra seconds. Many Texas cities, including Dallas, have installed cameras at major intersections to catch red light violators – but in the meantime, innocent passengers and drivers of other vehicles suffer serious injuries as a result of preventable intersection collisions.

Motorcycle accidents often result in serious injuries. When a passenger car or tractor trailer comes into contact with a motorcycle, the weight and size advantage of the other vehicle is indisputable. Cyclists don’t stand a chance against the larger and heavier truck or car. Spinal cord and head trauma are common, as are loss of limb and life. Other drivers often fail to see motorcycles because the much smaller cycle can easily slip into a car’s blind spot – and because car and truck drivers don’t keep a proper lookout for motorcycles that share the roadways.

Trucking accidents are among the most deadly because of the sheer size of tractor-trailers. These massive vehicles are more difficult to maneuver, and even the most careful truck driver may not be able to react quickly enough to avoid an accident. The drivers themselves can create hazardous conditions by speeding, driving aggressively or driving while fatigued to meet tight delivery deadlines. Regardless of the reasons, when a truck weighing 80,000 pounds comes into contact with another vehicle, the results can be tragic.
Highway construction projects can also create dangerous driving conditions. Unsafe or poorly maintained roads can create unexpected hazards, causing drivers to lose control of their vehicles. Construction crews are at risk from speeding drivers – but their work sites can be just as deadly to those behind the wheel. Lack of proper signage or inadequate warnings to reduce speed or merge lanes often confuse drivers, causing multiple vehicle collisions.

If you live or drive in Texas, you should take every precaution to drive safely and obey the state’s traffic laws. However, you have little control over the actions of others – and accidents can happen despite your best efforts. If you are involved in a vehicle accident caused by another driver or dangerous road condition, you may face high medical bills and financial distress through no fault of your own. Legal action can help to obtain the compensation needed to pay for your medical treatment – and to ensure the security of your family.
