Common Causes of Car Accidents in Texas
Texas sees tens of thousands of vehicle collisions each year, many of them preventable. Some of the most frequent causes we encounter in car accident cases include:
- Distracted Driving: Texting, talking on the phone, or using GPS while driving.
- Speeding and Reckless Driving: Excessive speed reduces reaction time and increases crash severity.
- Driving Under the Influence: Alcohol and drugs impair judgment and motor skills.
- Failure to Yield or Obey Traffic Signals: Intersection collisions are common and often severe.
- Fatigued Driving: Drowsy drivers can be as dangerous as intoxicated ones.
- Poor Road Conditions or Mechanical Failures: Sometimes, liability lies with municipalities or manufacturers.
Our attorneys conduct a thorough investigation to identify all contributing factors and establish fault.
