Houston’s Deadliest Roads
According to KHOU 11, I-45 has recently been named the nation’s most dangerous road. The deadliest stretch ran between Galveston and Dallas, straight through H-town. In 2019 alone, 73 people were killed in fatal car accidents along that stretch. Unfortunately, planned improvements to the interstate were put on hold, meaning that little is likely to change in the foreseeable future.
In addition to I-45, other dangerous roadways in Houston include:
- I-10
- I-610
- Airline Drive
- Sam Houston Parkway
- Main Street
- Beechnut Street
- Bissonnet Street
It is not only heavy congestion that makes these roads hazardous. Speeding, impairment, and reckless driving are all leading causes of car accidents in Houston. Tragically, many of the crashes resulting in serious injury or death are preventable, caused by operator negligence.
Obtaining Compensation After a Car Wreck
Accidents happen, and in Houston, they happen frequently. If you are involved in a car wreck that was caused by another driver’s negligence or wrongdoing, you might be entitled to compensation. It is essential to act quickly to protect your right to recovery against a liable party.
An attorney can help you pursue a claim for damages against the person that caused the crash. It is vital to collect as much information as possible at the scene of the accident. If there were any injuries or a fatality, law enforcement should be called immediately. Injured parties should seek medical treatment and keep copies of their medical bills.
Contacting a Lawyer
Remember, you only have a limited amount of time to file a lawsuit against a negligent driver. Contacting a lawyer immediately after your accident can help to ensure that you receive the maximum compensation allowed under Texas law.
Car accidents can cause severe, life-threatening injuries that require years of treatment and rehabilitation. Damages can help pay your medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more.
