For many Texans, summer means vacations, lake trips, concerts, road trips, amusement parks, and long weekends with friends and family. But while summer is often associated with fun and travel, it is also one of the busiest and most dangerous times of year on Texas roads.
Across Dallas, Houston, Austin, San Antonio, and other rapidly growing cities, summer traffic creates a perfect storm of congestion, distracted driving, construction zones, teenage drivers, tourism, and late-night travel. Personal injury attorneys throughout Texas often see a noticeable increase in serious car accident cases during the summer months.
What many drivers do not realize is that summer accidents are not caused by just one factor. Instead, they are usually the result of multiple risky conditions happening all at once.
