Texas Injury Firm Recognizes Lack of Highway Safety Laws

March 7, 2013 - PRLog -- At least one person has died on the Texas highways each year since November of 2000.  Automobile collisions are commonplace.  Insurance companies pay out a staggering amount each year to accident victims for property damage, medical expenses, and other losses. Wyly & Cook, LLP is dedicated to helping victims and their families affected by personal injury accidents.  They help clients receive the just and fair compensation they deserve by dealing with insurance companies and taking cases to litigation when necessary.  Texas ranks among the bottom of the states for passing highway safety laws.

Texas was the first of the 50 states and the District of Columbia to allow speed limits of 85 MPH on the highways.  Recent reports indicate a sharp increase in the number of traffic fatalities since implementation of the higher speed laws.  This has sparked considerable concern from the national organization Mothers Against Drunk Driving and various legislators in Texas and other states.  Awareness campaigns to educate and improve drivers’ behaviors focus on seat belt use, texting while driving bans, proper child restraints, motorcycle safety helmets, driving in accordance weather and road conditions, obeying traffic laws and never drink and drive.
