Fatal Auto Accidents in Texas
Statistics provided by the Texas Department of Public Safety indicate that more than 4400 people died due to vehicle collisions in Texas in 2022. Hundreds of these victims were pedestrians. The unfortunate truth is that individuals outside of vehicles are more likely to suffer severe and fatal injuries due to the force of the collision. When large SUVs are involved in these accidents, the chances of severe injuries are dramatically increased.
Unfortunately, we see many pedestrians lose their lives in accidents that are caused by drivers who are negligent and reckless. When drivers simply fail to operate their vehicles safely, it can have devastating consequences for victims. Losing a loved one in a fatal collision can be incredibly difficult to deal with. In many cases, families struggle to deal with the costs of funeral arrangements, burial costs, and more. To make matters even worse, many families are deprived of a source of income that they have grown to depend on.
If your loved one has died as a result of a fatal collision, it is important that you seek legal representation from a San Antonio wrongful death lawyer immediately.
