Deadly Car Wrecks in Texas

Given the size of Texas and its many miles of roads and highways, it makes sense that an automobile accident could occur at any time. Driving is a way of life for most people living in the state, and we all spend a lot of time behind the wheel. Sadly, this only increases the chance of getting into a car accident. Since November 7, 2000, there has not been a single day in the state without a crash. A total of 244,092 people in the state were hurt in auto accidents in 2022 alone. It may be surprising, but an estimated 51.42 percent of traffic fatalities across the Lone Star State occurred on rural routes. With California at the top, Texas had the second-highest rate of auto accidents in a recent year. If someone close to you is killed in a car crash, you may be able to pursue a wrongful death claim with the help of a trained lawyer. 

Deadly collisions can be extremely painful, and families are frequently left to cope with unanticipated expenses while they mourn the loss of a loved one. Even considering legal action during this trying time can be too much to handle. After a tragic car accident, Texas state law gives surviving family members the chance to file a wrongful death claim to get the compensation that would have gone to the deceased if they had survived. During this trying time, a knowledgeable lawyer can guide you through the complex claims procedure and safeguard your legal rights.
