Experiencing a motor vehicle accident in Houston can be terrifying and confusing. In the blink of an eye, a victim may go from commuting down the road to sustaining serious and life-altering injurie due to the negligent driving of another person. This post addresses some of the important steps that victims can take to protect their rights in the wake of their vehicle collisions.

Motor vehicle crashes are the main cause of death for teenagers in the United States. Teens between 16 and 19 (in their first three years of driving) pass away at a rate of six fatalities per day due to motor vehicle collisions.

From the surgeon who performs a life-saving operation on a patient, to the support staffer who wheels that patient out of the operating room and back to their recovery room, healthcare professionals are under constant demands on their physical stamina and mental acuteness. Texas residents who work in this important field understand how quickly the stress and strain of helping others can affect the physical well-being of those they serve. As a result, though, many healthcare workers suffer serious injuries as a result of doing their jobs.
