PERSONAL INJURY

Houston Car Accident Attorney

Texas Hurt in Car Crashes - The Martin Law FirmThe National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimates in 2012 an average of 92 people died in a highway crash. {1} That amounts to one death every 16 minutes. Also, in 2012, there were over 5 ½ million accidents reported to the police. Roughly 33,000 people were killed in car accidents in 2012. That number fell slightly in 2013. The reduction in car wreck deaths may be due to increased education on the dangers of distracted driving, particularly texting while driving.  The fact remains many Houstonians will be hurt in car accidents this year.

Houston car accidents are often caused by negligence

Many car accidents are preventable. Drivers simply fail to pay attention or do not properly maintain their vehicles. Acts of negligence are often the cause of most car accidents including:

  • Tire blowouts
  • Poor vehicle maintenance, including faulty brakes
  • Bad road conditions including improperly lit construction sites
  • Drunk driving or driving under the influence of drugs
  • Reckless driving
  • Speeding
  • Failing to obey traffic signals
  • Talking on a cell phone or texting while driving
  • Following too close

It is often difficult to get a full recovery from the insurance company of the driver who caused the accident. All too often, insurance companies delay paying claims or do not pay claims in full. Victims of negligent drivers often need the help of an experienced Houston car accident attorney such as Clark Martin.

Serious injuries can result from car wrecks

The injuries sustained in car accidents can range from muscle strains and whiplash to death. Those injuries can include:
