Avoiding High Accident Areas in Houston
If you live in Houston long enough, you will get stuck in a traffic jam caused by an accident. It is inevitable. However, knowing which roads are the most dangerous in Houston and choosing a route that avoids them can help limit the frequency of this occurrence.
Before you drive in Houston, one great way to avoid wrecks is to visit the Houston Transtar Incidents and Road Closures page. They tend to have the most up-to-date information on what roads are shut down. Another way to avoid delays due to a car accident is to pick a route that allows you to take an HOV (High Occupancy Vehicle) lane (if traveling with a group) or the Toll Lanes if traveling alone. This route, however, is not available at all times, so your trip will take some planning.
What to Do If You Are Injured in a Car Wreck in Houston?
Even seemingly minor car accidents with minor impact collisions may result in injuries to the occupants. People who are hurt in a car crash in Houston through no fault of their own have the right to consult a lawyer and determine their options. Insurance companies for both you and the other driver have an interest in not paying out claims and delaying compensating accident victims. Do not let them victimize you twice by letting you suffer.
