At the Hollingsworth Law Firm, our Houston car accident attorneys know that the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) declared 2021 the second-deadliest year for Texas roadways.
TxDOT reported 239,539 persons were injured in motor vehicle traffic crashes in 2021, with 19,448 people sustaining catastrophic injuries that changed their lives.
Tragically, Texas experienced an increase in the number of motor vehicle traffic fatalities, too. The 2021 death toll of 4,489 was an increase of 15.22% from the 3,896 deaths recorded in 2020.
If your life has been impacted by a negligent driver, contact us today to learn more about our commitment to pursuing real results for each of our clients.
How Often Do Vehicle Collisions Occur in Texas?
Based on the TxDOT data in 2021, one reportable crash occurred every 57 seconds in Texas last year. That is less time than most traffic signal cycle lengths.
In those collisions, one person was injured every 2.12 minutes, and one person was killed every 1.57 hours.
Based on the statistics, our Harris County auto accident lawyers know that driver behavior is one of the most influential causes of these collisions. But these behaviors are also some of the most important solutions.
Distracted driving, speeding, and driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs are the top three causes of motor vehicle collisions in Texas. Each of these types of crashes is preventable, when we all take responsibility for our actions and focus on safe driving.
These are facts. We all have a role. Even if you are doing everything right as a driver, negligence knows no bounds on our Texas roadways. When others drive recklessly, other motorists and their families pay the price. If your livelihood has been impacted by a negligent driver, we want to help you hold them accountable for their actions, so you can pursue the justice you deserve.

Steven and I attended law school together and I have known him since 2000. He was stellar in representing a close friend with a personal injury matter. I have been very impressed with his communication, dedication and thoroughness in representation.
Steve is the real deal! He is an extremely invaluable resource on all things Litigation for me as a younger attorney. He is not only great a securing the bigger verdicts, but actually cares about the clients and still sticks by his tried and true method of meeting, in person, with his clients to go over facts . overall, a solid attorney, with a wealth of knowledge!
After working with Steve for a couple of years, I found Steve to be an outstanding, aggressive and highly skilled lawyer in the courtroom. His confidence and knowledge of the courtroom and what it takes to succeed there, I believe will ensure his long term prosperity.
I had the pleasure of working on a trial with Steven last August. His background as an ADA is clearly evident in the courtroom. Steven's presentation of the evidence throughout trial is that of a seasoned attorney who has spent many hours in front of a jury. His opening/closings were excellent, as well as his strategic litigating throughout the trial. Steven is a consummate professional and a pleasure to work with, and watch in the courtroom.
When I met Steve, I was a legal assistant at a Plaintiff’s firm and he was working as an attorney for AIG. We connected there and then. Steve is a likable guy and an outstanding trial lawyer. He is charismatic and jurors like him. He is a Plaintiff’s lawyer now and he has the right skill set to represent injured individuals: he is compassionate, honest, and sincere and will go the extra mile for his clients. I’ve known Steve for almost 8 years now and I’m excited to see his career evolve.
