Motor vehicle collisions across the state of Texas claim the lives of over 3,600 victims every year. Head-on crashes are more likely to cause fatal injuries than most other kinds of accidents. The head-on impact of two vehicles typically causes extensive damage to both vehicles and their occupants and can leave drivers and their passengers trapped inside their vehicles. These collisions are usually the result of one or both drivers acting negligently.
When victims die in accidents caused by the careless actions of other people, it is vital that their families get legal advice from a qualified and knowledgeable wrongful death attorney in the Houston area as soon as possible. Working with an aggressive legal team will ensure your family is able to protect your legal rights after enduring the unexpected loss of a loved one.
Texting and driving, driving while impaired, reckless driving, and many other driver actions often result in collisions throughout our state. In fact, statistics show that more than 80% of deadly collisions are a result of these and other negligent actions.

Motor vehicle accidents happen far too often in our state. In fact, statistics show that one accident occurs roughly every two minutes that result in injuries. These accidents add up to more than 270,000 each year. Although we hope that everyone is able to recover from their injuries, more than 3,600 people end up passing away as a result of their injuries. The unfortunate truth is that no matter how vigilant we are in ensuring the safety of others sharing the road, there is no guarantee that all motorists will pay the same respect to us.
