Car Accidents in Texas
Every month, more than 17,100 victims are left with injuries following motor vehicle collisions across our state. Hundreds of people who are harmed in accidents are not traveling inside vehicles at all. Instead, bicyclists are regularly harmed by reckless and negligent drivers.
We see thousands of accidents take place every year in our state due to drivers who engage in negligent actions while operating their vehicles. Many people are hurt as a result of drivers who are speeding, failure to yield the right of way, and those who are distracted.
Although many motor vehicle collisions result in minor injuries for those involved, accidents involving bicyclists are more likely to end with severe injuries that require emergency medical care.
Dealing with painful injuries is not something that most people are prepared to do. Dealing with the financial consequences that come with treating injuries can be downright devastating.
