Texas is the second largest state in the country, in terms of population and geographical size. The state covers over 268,000 square miles, and at last count, its population was just shy of 24 million. It has major urban cities, like Dallas/Ft. Worth, San Antonio, and Houston, and also has vast stretches of rural land.

As a result of the state’s size, Texas has the largest highway system of any state in the country.  There are a total of over 79,000 miles of highways in the state, in addition to miles and miles of tollways and farm-to-market roads.

Once built, the Trans-Texas Corridor will add another 4,000 or so miles to the state’s highway system.  In fact, as planned, the Trans-Texas Corridor will include separate lanes of traffic for passenger vehicles and trucks, high-speed and freight railways, and utility and communication lines. 

The number of residents and miles of roads in Texas result in a lot of car accidents, and auto accident victims in Texas need to know their rights before their insurance claim is settled.  All too often, the insurance company adjusters act as though they will tell car accident victims everything they need to know.  They act as if they are the accident victim’s friend, and work to build trust with the accident victim.  However, every day, victims of Texas car wrecks are taken advantage of by unscrupulous insurance company adjusters whose only goal is to pay as little as they possibly can to settle accident claims.

That’s why accident victims need an experienced Texas personal injury attorney on their side. They need a lawyer who knows the strategies and tactics the insurance adjusters use to try to convince injured people to accept lower settlements than they truly deserve.  If you have been injured in a Texas car accident, you need experienced representation.  To get it, click here!
