Texas Car Accident FAQs
Feeling overwhelmed and uncertain about what steps to take after a car accident is natural. However, knowing that the law protects your rights is equally important. To help you understand the basics of your legal situation, we have gathered some of our clients’ most common questions about car accidents.
What is the No.1 cause of car crashes in Texas?
The Texas Department of Transportation’s recent findings indicate that speeding is the leading cause of car crashes in Texas. In fact, excessive speed not only increases the likelihood of accidents but also amplifies the severity of injuries when collisions occur. Other top contributing factors include:
- Distracted driving (especially texting while driving)
- Failure to yield the right of way
- Drunk driving
- Following too closely (tailgating)
As such, knowing the real cause of your accident can make legal intervention smoother to some degree.
What is the most dangerous road in Texas?
While many roads in the Jumbo state can be hazardous, I-45 is consistently ranked as one of the most dangerous highways in the state. This interstate, which runs from Dallas through Houston to Galveston, has a high rate of fatal accidents per mile. A study by the Accident Data Center found that I-45 averaged 56.5 fatal accidents per 100 miles over an eight-year period. However, highways, such as I-10 and Highway 69/96/287 in Beaumont and Port Arthur, have had their share of serious accidents.
How common are fatal car accidents in Jefferson County?
Unfortunately, Jefferson County has a higher rate of fatal crashes than the Lone Star State average. Per 100,000 people, Jefferson County experiences more fatal accidents compared to the overall state statistics. This sobering fact underscores the importance of always staying put and prepared in case of anything.
Dealing with insurance companies after an accident can be stressful and confusing. Many people are surprised to learn that the at-fault driver’s insurance company may not readily pay their bills. It is important not to settle too quickly, as some injuries may take time to manifest fully. Reaching out to a car accident lawyer in Texas can increase your chances of receiving the compensation you deserve.
