Motor Vehicle Accidents—One of the Most Common Types of Personal Injury
Statistics gathered by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) consistently show that car, truck and motorcycle accidents are one of the most common causes of personal injury, typically a close second behind slips and falls. According to the National Security Council, more than three of every four injuries sustained in motor vehicle accidents happen when a car, truck or motorcycle collides with another motor vehicle.
What are the Most Common Types of Motor Vehicle Collisions in Texas?
In Texas, as in most states, the most common type of collision between two vehicles is a rear-end crash. Authorities say this stems from a number of factors, including:
- Excessive speed
- Distracted driving
- Tailgating or aggressive driving
- Failure to account for poor road or weather conditions
Among the other common forms of motor vehicle accidents are:
- Head-on collisions, usually associated with distracted driving or DUI/DWI
- T-bones, where one motorist fails to yield to the right of way of another or runs a stop sign or stop light
- Sideswipes, caused when a motorist changes lanes without looking or becomes distracted behind the wheel
