Car Accident Statistics in Texas

Texas roads continue to see a devastating number of serious and fatal crashes. According to the Texas Department of Transportation, 3,769 people were killed in motor vehicle traffic crashes statewide in 2025. TxDOT also reported 14,396 serious-injury crashes and 17,420 people seriously injured that year. Rural roads accounted for 1,889 traffic deaths, while crashes at or related to intersections killed 955 people.

These numbers represent people whose lives may be changed in seconds. A serious wreck can lead to traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, internal injuries, severe burns, permanent disability, overwhelming medical bills, or the loss of someone you love.

Where Do Car Accidents Occur Most in South Texas?

Serious accidents can happen anywhere in South Texas, but higher speeds, heavy traffic, commercial vehicles, and limited room to react can make certain roads more dangerous. In the Rio Grande Valley, serious crashes may occur on Interstate 2, U.S. Highway 83, U.S. Highway 281, State Highway 107, busy commercial corridors, and rural two-lane roads.

Crashes near intersections, retail centers, schools, medical facilities, and truck routes can raise difficult questions about fault and available insurance coverage. The location of the wreck matters, but so does the evidence. Ezequiel Reyna Law Office can investigate what happened, identify responsible parties, and work to preserve the information that may support your claim.

Common Causes of Car Accidents in Texas

No two accidents are exactly alike, but experienced automobile accident lawyers know the patterns. Understanding the cause of your accident is the first step toward holding the right parties accountable. 

The most common causes our attorneys handle include:

  • Speeding or reckless driving
  • Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
  • Distracted driving (including texting)
  • Tailgating or failing to yield
  • Running red lights or stop signs
  • Unsafe lane changes or traffic violations

What to Do After a Car Accident

If you are involved in a car accident, your first priority is safety.

  1. Call 911 if anyone is injured, the crash is serious, or emergency assistance is needed.
  2. Follow directions from 911 dispatchers, police officers, and medical responders.
  3. Get medical attention promptly, even if you do not immediately feel seriously hurt.
  4. If it is safe to do so, take photos of the vehicles, visible injuries, the road, traffic signals, skid marks, and other relevant conditions.
  5. Exchange contact, insurance, and vehicle information with the other driver, and get contact information from witnesses when possible.
  6. Report the accident to your own insurance company as soon as you can.
  7. Be careful when discussing fault or the extent of your injuries with another driver’s insurer before you know the full impact of the crash.

Contact Ezequiel Reyna Law Office as soon as you are medically able. Early involvement may help our team preserve evidence, locate witnesses, and begin evaluating the full impact of the crash.

Recoverable Damages in a Car Accident

Texas generally follows an at-fault system, which means the person or party responsible for causing a crash may be financially responsible for the harm it caused. The damages available in a particular case depend on the facts, the injuries involved, the evidence, and the available insurance coverage.

Recoverable damages typically include:

  • Medical expenses, including emergency care, surgery, therapy, medication, and future treatment
  • Lost income and reduced earning capacity
  • Vehicle repair or replacement costs
  • Physical pain, emotional distress, and reduced quality of life
  • Wrongful death damages when a crash takes a loved one’s life

Your attorney will assess the full scope of your financial and emotional losses to secure fair compensation.

How Much Is a Car Accident Claim Worth in Texas?

There is no honest “average” value that can tell you what your specific car accident claim is worth. Every case is different, and the value depends on the evidence, the severity of the injuries, the available insurance coverage, and the lasting effect the crash has had on your life.

Important factors can include:

  • How serious your injuries are
  • Whether you need surgery, rehabilitation, or future treatment
  • Whether you can return to work and earn the same income
  • The cost of your medical care and other out-of-pocket losses
  • The level of pain, disability, or disfigurement involved
  • Whether the other driver was clearly at fault
  • Whether more than one party may be responsible
  • The insurance coverage and assets available to pay a claim

A quick insurance offer may not account for future treatment, ongoing pain, permanent limitations, or the income you may lose over time. Before accepting an offer, speak with a Texas car accident lawyer who can assess the real impact of the crash.

Who Can Be Held Liable for a Car Accident in Texas?

The driver who caused the crash may be responsible, but they may not be the only liable party. A thorough investigation can reveal whether another person, business, or organization played a role.

Potentially responsible parties may include:

  • A negligent driver
  • The employer of a driver who was working at the time of the crash
  • A company that owned or maintained the vehicle
  • A vehicle manufacturer, if a defect contributed to the collision
  • A repair shop or maintenance provider
  • A business that negligently entrusted a vehicle to an unsafe driver
  • A government entity or contractor, in limited circumstances involving dangerous road design, poor maintenance, or defective traffic controls

Identifying every responsible party can make a meaningful difference, particularly when a catastrophic injury requires extensive medical care and long term support.

How Is Fault Determined in a Texas Car Accident?

Texas uses a proportionate-responsibility rule. If you were partly at fault for a crash, you may still be able to recover compensation as long as you were not more than 50% responsible. Any recovery may be reduced by your share of fault.

Insurance companies may try to place more blame on an injured person than the evidence supports. Attorney Reyna’s team can investigate the crash, gather evidence, and present the facts clearly.

How Car Insurance Affects a Texas Accident Claim

Texas is an at-fault state for car accidents. This generally means the person or party responsible for causing the crash is responsible for the resulting damages.

However, insurance issues can quickly become complicated. The at-fault driver may have limited coverage, deny responsibility, or have no insurance at all. Your own policy may include uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage, personal injury protection, medical payments coverage, or other benefits that may help, depending on the policy and circumstances.

A Texas car wreck lawyer can review the available policies, identify potential sources of coverage, and handle communications with insurers. The focus should be on securing the resources you need, not on navigating confusing insurance language while you are trying to recover.

How Long Do You Have to File a Car Accident Lawsuit in Texas?

In most Texas car accident cases, you have two years to file a lawsuit for injuries or vehicle damage. The deadline usually begins when the legal claim accrues, which is often the date of the crash. For wrongful death claims, the two-year period generally begins on the date of death.

Some cases have different deadlines or early notice requirements, including claims involving government entities. Do not assume you have plenty of time. Video footage, vehicle data, witness memories, and other important evidence can be lost quickly.
