Representing Texas Residents Injured in Rear-End Accidents

Arnold & Itkin attorneys Kurt Arnold, Adam Lewis, and Andrew Bowman recently filed lawsuits on behalf of Texas residents who sustained serious injuries in preventable accidents.

In one rear-end accident, two Texas residents suffered serious injuries when they were suddenly rear-ended while driving westbound on Westpark Tollway in Houston. In another, two Texas residents were driving westbound on North Loop 1604 West in San Antonio when they were rear-ended.

No matter the type of vehicle being driven, safety is of the utmost importance when sharing the road with others. The dangers of speeding are varied, including:

• Increased Stopping Distance: Higher speeds result in longer distances required to come to a complete stop. This can be particularly dangerous in situations requiring sudden braking, as the extra distance needed could lead to collisions that could have been avoided at lower speeds.
• Reduced Reaction Time: Speeding diminishes the driver's available reaction time to respond to unexpected obstacles, changes in traffic, or hazardous road conditions. The faster a vehicle is moving, the less time a driver has to make crucial decisions to avoid an accident.
• Heightened Impact Severity: The force of a collision escalates with speed; accidents occurring at higher speeds are more likely to result in severe injuries or fatalities. The energy involved in a high-speed crash puts all parties at greater risk of catastrophic outcomes.
