Factors in Car Accidents
An Experienced Laredo Attorney Explains
John R. Solis, Attorney at Law is familiar with the factors that play a role in car accidents in Laredo and across all of Texas. While any number of factors might contribute to a car wreck, some of them are more common than others. You may have a right to recover compensation based on what led to your accident. Laredo car accident attorney John R. Solis works hard to determine how and why your accident occurred. In many cases, car accidents are a direct result of one or more of the following:
Speeding accidents in Texas are rarely minor. That's because the impact between a vehicle exceeding the posted speed limit or driving too fast for conditions and another vehicle, pedestrian or bicyclist can cause catastrophic injuries. Such accidents can turn your life upside-down. A speed-related accident might result in brain injury or spinal cord damage or even a fatal injury. Proving fault in a speeding accident can be a challenge. The negligent driver who caused your accident and his or her insurance company may deny wrongdoing or try to pin some of the blame on you or your loved one.
John R. Solis, Attorney at Law fights aggressively on behalf of speeding accident victims and families who lost loved ones. Everyone knows speed limits exist for a reason. When a driver exceeds the speed limit, others sharing the road are put in immediate danger. Speeding vehicles are more difficult to control and take longer to stop. A speeding driver might be unable to stop in time to prevent a rear-end accident, at a red light or at a crosswalk. When an accident occurs, speeding drivers need to be held accountable. Attorney John R. Solis is well-versed in state law and knows how to present a compelling case designed to get results.

Falling asleep while driving can be blamed for thousands of fatal crashes each year. It's not unusual for motorists to fall asleep at the wheel, even briefly. In fact, more than one-third of all drivers have admitted to falling asleep at the wheel at least once while driving, according to the National Sleep Foundation. When a fatigued driver chooses to stay on the road, everyone sharing the road is put at immediate risk. A driver who falls asleep at the wheel may veer into oncoming traffic, swerve between lanes on a highway, or run a stop sign or red light in the moments prior to an accident.
John R. Solis, Attorney at Law fights to protect the rights of people injured in all types of accidents, including asleep-at-the-wheel crashes. Fatigued driving is a form of impaired driving. The side effects to operating a vehicle while drowsy or sleep deprived are comparable to operating under the influence of drugs or alcohol. While a driver may not intentionally have caused your accident, that driver still made a reckless decision and acted negligently. The consequences of a drunk driving accident and a fatigued driving accident often are the same: serious injuries and fatalities.
Accidents involving fatigued drivers can result in years of physical, emotional financial hardship because of serious injuries such as traumatic brain injuries, back injuries and paralysis. You may require extensive physical therapy. The reckless driver and his insurance company should be held accountable. Drowsy drivers have the choice to pull over before causing an accident.
