Auto Accidents
Texas is noted for its wide open spaces and excellent highway system throughout the state, but just like the rest of the country, auto accidents also happen here frequently. Auto accident causes vary from distracted driving and fatigue to defective equipment; the results are similar, with pain, suffering, income loss, medical expenses and property damage. Some victims pay the ultimate price of losing their life.
Texas Auto Accidents
According to the Texas Department of Transportation, in 2023 there were 4,283 deaths on Texas roadways, with economic losses from all vehicle crashes estimated to be $56.2 Billion dollars. The death rate was 1.45 per million vehicle miles traveled, based on an estimated mileage total of over 294,785 million miles. In 15,219 serious injury crashes that year, almost 250,335 people were injured.
During 2023, a reportable Texas auto accident occurred every 56 seconds. A death occurred once every 2 hours and 3 minutes; one injury occurred every 2 minutes 6 seconds. The saddest 2023 statistic is that there were no deathless days on Texas roadways. Major factors contributing to rural accidents were speed and inattention. In cities, additional factors included making unsafe moves, changing lanes when unsafe and running stop lights or stop signs.
