View on GoogleHouston Is Highly Dangerous for Motorists
From 2020 to 2022, Houston experienced over 300 traffic deaths per year. That averages to nearly one roadway fatality every single day. Our city's tragic 2022 statistics include:
- 326 Fatalities
- 1,563 Suspected Serious Injuries
- 14,016 Possible Injury Crashes
- 67,386 Total Crashes
Our Government Is Aware of These Issues
In 2019, Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner signed the Vision Zero Executive Order. This plan is designed to eliminate traffic deaths and serious injuries by 2030.
Vision Zero's backers hope to achieve their goal by identifying and improving dangerous streets and intersections. This is an admirable goal. It also underlines the fact that our local government has a legal responsibility to maintain safe roads.
The liable party in a lawsuit is not always solely the other driver. If the government contributed to your car accident by failing to fix potholes, maintain proper drainage or design safe roadways, our car accident lawyers can hold them liable. We can also explore whether or not a defective auto part contributed to your car wreck.
Severe Injuries and Damage Can Occur in an Instant
Below are just a few examples of local crashes that all occurred in the same weekend, and all had far-reaching consequences. Our Houston car accident lawyers can handle cases like these and any other auto wreck.
A two-vehicle wreck along the Grand Parkway in north Harris County killed an individual at the scene of the crash. The crash involved a box truck and another vehicle, with aerial footage showing severe damage to both. If you suffered an injury in a crash similar to this, our attorneys can help.
A car dealership was thrust into chaos early on a Saturday morning after a truck spun out of control and flew into the shop. The truck damaged 15 different vehicles as well as a fence and signage. Even if you did not suffer major physical harm, you can sue for any property damage you suffered.
On the Katy Freeway near Bingle Road, a Honda drove in the wrong lanes and crashed into a Toyota Camry. This two-vehicle crash tragically killed three people. If your loved one passed away in a car accident, our attorneys can pursue a wrongful death lawsuit to obtain financial justice.

I-45 Is Infamous
Houston receives positive national attention for its vibrant community, thriving food scene, artistic culture, and more. Unfortunately, a 2021 report from Budget Direct shed light on a darker aspect of our city. It listed I-45 as the most dangerous road in America, with the stretch running through Houston being the absolute most fatal portion.
Texas Law Makes Choosing the Right Lawyer Especially Important
Over 85,000 people moved to Houston from July 2021 to July 2022. This means many newly minted locals are unfamiliar with Texas' personal injury laws. Some states do not allow victims to pursue a car accident case if they were even a little bit responsible for their crash. That's not the case in Texas.
Texas uses modified comparative negligence, which allows you to receive financial compensation even if you made an error while driving. What your lawyers must prove is that the other driver was more responsible for the crash than you were.
In Texas, you can receive compensation as long as your percentage of fault is not greater than 50%. Compensation is proportional to your percentage of fault. For example, if you are found to be 40% accountable for your accident, you can receive 60% of the total compensation. If you are found only 10% responsible, you can obtain 90% of the total compensation. These differences can add up to hundreds of thousands of dollars, if not more. Our state laws make it all the more important to hire Houston car accident lawyers who have won thousands of cases like yours.
There Are Hard Deadlines For Filing a Car Accident Claim
Statute of limitations laws set strict time limits for filing lawsuits. Failing to meet them very likely means you forever lose the ability to receive financial compensation for your car accident injuries. Key Texas statutes to know are for:
Personal Injury
A personal injury lawsuit is filed to seek compensation for damage to yourself and your property. In Texas, an injured person has two years from the day they were harmed to file their lawsuit.
Wrongful Death
A wrongful death lawsuit is filed by the grieving family of an individual who was killed by another's negligence. In Texas, you have two years from the date of your loved one's passing to file your lawsuit.
