For those who have lost loved ones in a fatal car accident, it brings back images of terror if they were also involved in the accident or feelings of loss. Fatal car accidents occur on a daily basis throughout the state, and always involve the terrible loss of a loved one.
Unfortunately, the Texas fatal car accident rate has increased steadily over the years after an initial decline beginning in 2007. It is difficult to pinpoint one exact reason, although the advent of smart phones and corresponding driver distraction has led to a number of tragic accidents throughout the state. In 2014 alone, there were a reported 3,534 fatalities caused by car accidents throughout the state, with approximately 200 occurring in Bexar County. Bexar County witnessed the third highest number of fatal car accidents in the state in 2014.
Fatalities in car accidents can occur in the most minor of accidents, although the majority occur in severe accidents, such as rollover accidents or semi truck accidents. Some of these accidents may be caused due to outside forces such as the weather or automobile malfunction, although the majority are caused by driver error. DUI accidents, distracted driving accidents, and rollover accidents have the highest rate of severe injuries and can lead to fatalities.
