Urban Traffic Dangers in Houston
Intersections like Franklin St and Chenevert St are frequent sites of collisions due to high traffic volumes, frequent lane changes, and unpredictable driving behavior. In busy downtown areas, crashes often result from driver distraction, failure to yield, or running red lights. Pedestrian crossings and stop-and-go traffic further increase the risk of accidents in these locations.
Motor vehicle collisions in urban areas can lead to a variety of injuries, from minor bruises to more severe trauma such as whiplash, fractures, or head injuries. Seeking medical attention after an accident is crucial, even if injuries do not appear serious at first.
Texas follows a modified comparative fault system, meaning that individuals injured in a crash may be eligible for compensation if they are less than 51% responsible for the accident. Gathering evidence, documenting injuries, and consulting with a legal professional can help victims navigate their options for recovery.
