The Dangers of Car Crashes on Texas Highways
Texas highways, including major interstates like IH 35, are heavily traveled routes that see a high volume of traffic at all hours. Accidents on these roadways often result from speeding, distracted driving, or congestion-related factors that make sudden stops and lane changes dangerous.
According to state data, Texas records thousands of highway collisions each year, with many occurring at night when visibility is lower, and driver fatigue plays a role. In busy urban areas like Austin, the mix of commuter traffic and commercial vehicles increases the likelihood of serious accidents.
Those involved in highway crashes may face significant challenges, including medical expenses, vehicle damage, and lost wages. Seeking immediate medical attention is essential, even if injuries appear minor. Additionally, understanding legal options and insurance processes can help individuals recover from the financial impact of a crash.
