When it comes to car wrecks in Dallas, people usually complain about people speeding. Speed limits are in place for a reason: they help protect motorists, cyclists, and pedestrians. When negligent drivers speed, it increases their risk of losing control of their vehicle. When drivers accelerate too quickly, they become more vulnerable to crashes when unexpected objects suddenly appear or when other motorists slow down to avoid them.

When a tired driver has two children who are constantly arguing in the back seat of their vehicle, that's as dangerous as distracted driving. Maybe they want to adjust the temperature in their car, change the radio station in their car, or have a short conversation with their passenger.

When a drunk driver takes the wheel, it causes all other drivers on the road to be in danger. If the negligent driver causes your accident, you have certain rights and choices. If a restaurant underserves an obviously intoxicated person who caused your accident, you have the right to sue them. Drugs that people buy on the street and prescription drugs can cause huge accident injuries. When a driver becomes impaired in any way, it puts others in harm's way.

When a large animal gets into the path of a car and causes drivers to suddenly swerve, damaging the car.
