Car Accidents

Every year, car crashes in Texas kill thousands and injure many more. The Texas Department of Transportation reports that in 2014 alone, motor vehicle crashes claimed 3,534 lives and caused $28.8 billion in economic loss.

Determining Liability and Negligence

While we typically refer to car wrecks as “accidents,” the truth is that most car crashes are caused by one or more party’s negligence or incompetence. It’s not a matter of chance; it’s a matter of skill and awareness – or rather, a lack thereof. No matter how carefully you drive, the carelessness of other drivers exposes you to risk on the road.

At Hossley Embry, we are dedicated to discovering the liable party, as well as the degree to which their negligence led to the car accident and subsequent injuries. Once we can examine evidence and testimony to determine that liable party, we can then move forward in the pursuit of achieving justice and compensation on your behalf.

If you’ve been injured in an auto accident due to someone else’s reckless driving, the experienced attorneys at Hossley & Embry will help you fight for justice and hold the negligent parties accountable.

Common Causes of Car Accidents

Unfortunately, many drivers don’t take the responsibility of driving a car as seriously as they should. Here are some common negligent driving behaviors that lead to auto accidents:

• Speeding or driving too fast for conditions

• Tailgating
• Not using turn signals properly
• Failing to stop at red lights or stop signs
• Aggressive driving or “road rage”
• Operating a vehicle while under the influence of drugs or alcohol
• Driving while distracted, including talking on the phone, texting, playing with the radio, eating, etc.
