Why Texas Is an Accident-Prone State

Texas has a long-standing reputation for being one of the most accident-heavy states in the nation. In fact, recent data shows that there were over 500,000 reported motor vehicle crashes in Texas in 2022, resulting in nearly 4,700 fatalities. That's a staggering number, and it reflects the dangers faced by drivers on our roads. The reasons for this high rate of accidents can be linked to a combination of factors that create treacherous driving conditions for everyone. Source: Texas Department of Transportation.

Here are some common causes of accidents in Texas:

Distracted driving - With the rise of smartphones and other gadgets, more drivers are taking their attention away from the road, leading to serious collisions.
Impaired driving - Alcohol and drug use continues to be a major issue, contributing to countless accidents every year.
Speeding - Many drivers ignore speed limits, increasing the chances of losing control or severely injuring others in the event of a crash.
Weather conditions - Texas weather can change rapidly, and storms or heat can impact visibility and road safety.
Failure to obey traffic signals - Running red lights or failing to yield can create dangerous situations for drivers and pedestrians alike.

While Laredo may not be as sprawling as Houston or Dallas, it certainly experiences its own set of challenges. Sadly, the reckless driving behaviors common in larger cities also occur here. When these careless drivers cause harm, it often takes legal action to hold them accountable. At Altgelt Law Office, P.C., we're committed to helping our clients tackle these situations head-on so that justice is pursued for those affected by negligence.
