After a car accident in Texas, you will typically recover more compensation with an attorney than without one. Insurance Research Council data has shown for decades that represented accident victims end up with substantially higher settlements, even after attorney fees are deducted.

When medical bills start arriving after a car accident, the assumption is that the other driver’s insurance will cover them. In Texas, that’s not how it works.

NHTSA reports that most fatal crashes happen within 25 miles of home, which fits with crash locations on everyday driving routes, like major crossings, ramp areas, and busy shopping entrances.

It’s more than just dangerous – it’s illegal, and drivers can face both criminal penalties and civil liability if their violation of Texas reckless driving laws causes an accident that injures another person. If you were involved in a collision caused by someone else’s reckless driving, you may have strong grounds to seek compensation… Read More
