Motor Vehicle Accidents

The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) defines a motor vehicle crash as “a crash involving a motor vehicle in transport, but not involving aircraft or watercraft.” This includes accidents with uninsured motorists, drunk drivers, aggressive drivers, weather conditions, and third party ride sharing apps such as Uber and Lyft. The number of accidents involving motor vehicles in Texas are some of the highest in the country.

In 2020, Texans suffered 3,896 deaths from motor vehicle accidents resulting in an estimated economic loss of over $44 billion dollars. For Dallas there were 205 fatal crashes out of a total 32,022 in 2020 alone. In 2021 these numbers have only continued to rise. The most shocking statistic from the Texas Department of Transportation stated:

“There were no deathless days on Texas roadways in 2021.”

Texas was one of the national leaders in having 4,489 motor vehicle accidents, a 10.61% increase from 2020. Out of these over 4,000 crashes, 742 resulted in a fatality. TxDOT has estimated an economic loss as a result of these deaths to be over $51 billion. For Dallas the number of fatalities from motor vehicle crashes rose to 324 (out of 55,634 total crashes).
