In the United States, car accidents are caused by careless, negligent or distracted drivers all the time. Did you lose a loved one because of a car accident, workplace injury or medical malpractice? Do you know that more than 90,000 deaths occur each year due to medical malpractice alone? Or that nearly 33,000 deaths result from motor vehicle accidents?
The leading causes of wrongful death in Texas are:
- Car accidents
