Have You Been Involved in a Serious Car Accident?
The Leading Causes of Auto Collisions in the U.S.
With a growing number of the population getting behind the wheel of a car to carry out day-to-day activities, it is no surprise that the subsequent number of car accidents that occur each year has reached a devastating rate. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), more than 6 million traffic accidents take place annually—leaving more than 40,000 dead as a result. In Texas alone, more than 3,300 people are killed in auto collisions every year, in addition to the countless others that suffer the lifelong consequences of a
catastrophic injury. Unfortunately, a great number of these accidents could have been prevented.

Because of this, countless victims have been forced to suffer the consequences. Another leading cause of traffic accidents can be attributed to the growing number of
drunken drivers getting behind the wheel. When a negligent individual decides to make such a senseless decision, they are endangering not only themselves, but everyone else in the vicinity.
