Car Accidents in Texas
Each year, tens of thousands of victims sustain injuries as a result of auto collisions that take place in Texas. Those involved in these accidents are left with severe trauma to the head, broken bones, and other significant injuries that require medical care.
Although accidents can take place at any location, more than one-third of all collisions occur at intersections. As you can imagine, acts of negligence contribute to a significant number of these accidents taking place.
Common Causes of Intersection Crashes
Accidents can take place at intersections for a variety of reasons. In most cases, these crashes are preventable. Common factors in intersection crashes include:
- Failure to Yield the Right of Way: Neglecting to yield the right of way to another vehicle, especially in situations like left-turn accidents.
- Impaired Driving: Alcohol or drug impairment impairs judgment and coordination, making it difficult to navigate intersections safely.
- Running Red Lights or Stop Signs: Drivers failing to obey traffic signals and signs can lead to dangerous T-bone or broadside collisions.
- Distracted Driving: Using cell phones, adjusting the radio, or other distractions can lead to inattentiveness and collisions.
