High-Speed Crashes on Texas Highways
Highways like US 183 in Austin often experience traffic congestion, especially during peak hours, increasing the risk of collisions. Crashes on highways tend to be more severe due to higher speeds, multiple lanes of traffic, and the possibility of secondary accidents.
One of the most common causes of highway crashes is sudden lane changes without proper signaling. Additionally, distracted driving, speeding, and failure to maintain a safe following distance contribute to many of these collisions. Rear-end crashes, sideswipes, and multi-vehicle pileups are frequent occurrences in high-traffic areas like Northwest Austin.
For those involved in a highway crash, it is critical to seek medical evaluation immediately, even if injuries do not appear serious at first. Texas operates under a modified comparative fault system, meaning that injured victims may be eligible for compensation if they are less than 51% at fault for the accident. Gathering evidence, speaking with witnesses, and consulting legal professionals can help ensure fair treatment in the aftermath of a collision.
