What are the main causes of Houston car crashes?
There are countless causes of car accidents. In some cases, the crash was caused by elements outside of human control. For example, some collisions can be caused by inclement weather. If a driver is attempting to drive during a bad storm, it can cause ice on the road, harsh windows and limited visibility – which can all lead to accidents that were not necessarily caused by any one driver in particular. This, however, is rarely the case. In many accidents, the cause can be attributed to human error.
For example, the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) has recently brought light to the dangers of distracted driving, such as drivers who choose to
text and drive. According to studies released by DOT, there were
over 3,000 people killed in an accident involving a distracted driver in 2010. This involves any form of driving where the driver is manually, visually or cognitively not paying attention. These activities can include applying make-up, talking on the phone, adjusting a GPS or even eating a meal.
Texting while driving is responsible for thousands of accidents every year. According to research, it takes approximately five seconds for drivers to read or send a text message. In this amount of time, a car could easily travel the length of a football field. These few moments of irresponsibility could easily cause a car accident. Another primary cause of accidents and a severe hazard on the road are those who choose to drive drunk.
In 2011, TxDOT reported that this type of behavior was the cause of over 1,000 fatalities in the state of Texas – which was over 34 percent of all motor vehicle crash fatalities throughout the entire year. Drunk driving is criminal behavior and if you have been victimized or have a loved one who has been, our firm can step up to ensure that you receive the monetary compensation you need to put your life back on track.
