Fatal Multi-Vehicle Crash Statistics
A car accident can happen to anyone in Texas at any time. Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio are three of the most densely populated cities in the United States.
According to population and road length, Texas is the world’s most populous and longest-driving state. Some of the busiest highways in the country can be found in this area. Traffic accidents have claimed the lives of more than 3,500 people in Texas, and more than 246,000 have been injured. This location was the scene of a fatal accident involving multiple vehicles.
At the very least, three cars are involved in a collision involving multiple vehicles. In the event of a crash between two vehicles, a “chain reaction” occurs, resulting in a third accident.
Travis County Car Accident Lawyer for Victims of Multi-Vehicle Crash
For many, the grief and anger that follow the death of a loved one in a multiple vehicle collision are difficult to deal with. The victim’s family can file a wrongful death lawsuit while the investigation is ongoing.
The cost of repairing automobile accidents is high. If you are the victim of someone else’s negligence, you should not be held responsible for the financial consequences of that negligence. It is unfortunate that insurance companies routinely undervalue claimants’ losses. Hiring an experienced lawyer is therefore highly recommended.
Depending on the circumstances, an attorney may be able to pay for everything from medical bills to funeral expenses, as well as for the victim’s family’s suffering and the money the deceased would have earned during their lifetime.
