To what degree do fatal car crashes arise each year in Texas cities and rural areas? In a recent year, Texas endured 3,475 deaths in traffic mishaps, and 1,677 of those deaths were a result of a drunk driver. Also, 498 of the fatalities involved a large truck. The top county in traffic deaths was Texas' most populated county, Harris County, which endured 324 deaths in car mishaps. Upon the occasion that a driver or passenger dies via another driver's negligence or recklessness, a skilled Dallas car accident lawyer or Dallas injury lawyer may be needed to represent survivors in the tragic event.

What can you do after you are impacted by a car crash or automobile accident? First, stop your auto and then, if possible, carefully try to move to a spot where you will not be in further danger. Try to remain calm and to determine if anyone is injured, and if they are, do not try to move them. Next, call police and wait for their arrival. Also, try to get contact information from other persons involved in the accident. Do not admit guilt in a statement to police or anyone. If you need medical care, seek a physician as soon as possible. Also, notify your insurance company. And, alert an experienced Dallas lawyer via Jim S. Adler & Associates, an established Texas personal injury law firm since 1973 which has helped thousands of car accident victims. The law firm offers a free case review.

One of the leading factors in a car accident or other vehicular collisions in Dallas and throughout Texas are driver distractions resulting from cell phone calling or texting while behind the wheel. Research proves that cell phone distractions are as bad as a driver being drunk. As a matter of fact, the problem is so severe that the National Safety Council is calling out for a comprehensive ban on cell phone use while driving a car. If you or a relative has sustained injury due to a driver's cell phone negligence, alert a skilled Dallas car accident lawyer provided by established Texas law firm Jim S. Adler & Associates, and obtain the recovery you deserve.

In the event that a loved one perishes in a car crash, no amount of monetary compensation can negate the tragedy suffered by surviving family members. Nevertheless, survivors in Dallas or elsewhere in Texas may need money to compensate for a deceased family member's lost wages and other expenses related to their death. Experienced Dallas lawyers can battle to secure such economic compensation in the legal realm. Such action also may send a message to reckless drivers that they will be held accountable for their actions.
