Drowsy DrivingFatigue impairs driving abilities much like alcohol consumption. Inclement WeatherRain, fog, and ice create hazardous road conditions, demanding extra caution from drivers. Understanding the common causes of car accidents is crucial for preventing future tragedies.

Do Not Wait to File: Understanding the Texas Statute of Limitations for Car AccidentsIn Texas, the statute of limitations for car accident lawsuits is generally two years from the date of the accident. This means you typically have a two-year window to file a lawsuit against the at-fault driver to seek compensation. Why is it crucial to act quickly?Evidence Can DisappearOver time, crucial evidence like witness recollections, photos, or security footage might be lost or become less reliable. Insurance TacticsInsurance companies often employ strategies to minimize payouts, as delaying your claim gives them more time to build a case against you.
