Overview of the Stewart J. Guss Firm

Common Causes of Motor Vehicle Accidents in Edinburg

Edinburg car accidents have numerous causes, many of which involve unreasonably dangerous conduct by someone other than the injured crash victim(s). At Trust Guss Injury Lawyers, we put our years of experience and accumulated knowledge to investigate the root causes of the car accidents that injured our clients, to figure out what happened and who should bear the blame. In many cases, we can attribute the crash to someone’s careless and reckless actions, such as those described below.

Speeding

The faster someone drives, the less control they have over their vehicle and the less time to react to a road hazard. This makes speeding a common contributing factor in car accidents. According to the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) Crash Records Information System (CRIS), in a recent year, speeding played a role in causing 113 crashes in Edinburg alone.

Unfortunately, speeding also has the potential to cause catastrophic and fatal injuries. As speed increases, so does the force of impact in a crash. The team at Trust Guss Injury Lawyers, works tirelessly to hold irresponsible speeding drivers accountable when their recklessness causes an accident.

Distracted Driving

Distracted driving is one of the leading causes of car accidents in the United States, and Edinburg is no exception. According to TxDOT’s CRIS database, driver distraction contributed to 112 accidents in Edinburg in recent years.

People tend to think of distracted driving as involving cell phone use, which is certainly one form of dangerous distraction behind the wheel. But distracted driving involves virtually any activity that takes the driver’s eyes off the road, hands off the wheel, or mind off the task of driving safely, including eating, applying makeup, or tuning a radio while a vehicle is in motion. The lawyers of Trust Guss Injury Lawyers, know how to investigate your car accident to determine if distraction played a role and who should bear the blame.

Driving Under the Influence

Driving under the influence (DUI) of drugs or alcohol is illegal, but sadly, that does not stop Edinburg area drivers from making the tragic and reckless decision to get behind the wheel while drunk or high. DUIs accounted for at least 69 accidents in a recent year in Edinburg, according to TxDOT.

Consuming drugs or alcohol impairs driving abilities by slowing reaction times, interfering with judgment and perception, and disrupting motor control. When drunk or drugged drivers cause accidents that harm our clients at Trust Guss Injury Lawyers, we work to make sure they pay for the harm they cause.

Drowsy Driving

Many drivers do not realize it, but driving while fatigued is just as dangerous as driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Drowsy drivers suffer the same impairments as drunk and drugged drivers. Research indicates that one out of every three Texans gets insufficient sleep, so fatigue likely plays a role in far more Edinburg car accidents than are reported.

At Trust Guss Injury Lawyers, we know how to spot the telltale signs of a drowsy driving accident and how to get you the financial compensation a drowsy driver’s dangerous actions entitle you to receive.

Motor Vehicle Defects

Automotive manufacturers have a special obligation to produce products that are safe for the public to use. But as the steady stream of auto recalls reflects, manufacturers do not always live up to that duty. Sometimes, defects in cars and car parts put drivers and passengers in danger and cause accidents.

At Trust Guss Injury Lawyers, we have the knowledge and resources to go toe-to-toe with even the largest auto manufacturers to hold them accountable when their dangerous products cause harm.

Dangerous Roads and Intersections

Car accidents can occur anywhere in Edinburg, but certain locations seem to have an unusually high number, according to CRIS data, such as Interstate 69C and the intersection of Rogers and M Road.

Accident hot spots like these can sometimes result from dangerously flawed road designs or construction practices. Local governments can have a legal liability to victims of car accidents caused by the unreasonable failure to provide safe infrastructure for drivers.

The team at Trust Guss Injury Lawyers, has years of experience taking public entities like road agencies and municipal governments to task for failing to keep the public safe. Ask us whether the dangerous design or condition of a road or intersection contributed to the cause of your car accident in Edinburg.

Connect with us today to find out how we can help you.

Who can a lawyer hold responsible for your Edinburg car accident injuries?

Under Texas law, the party at fault for causing injuries to car accident victims will generally owe money damages to those victims. At Trust Guss Injury Lawyers, one of our most important tasks for a car accident client is to examine the facts to identify every individual, business, and other parties that may owe money damages for the car accident in which our client got hurt.

Every case differs, but we often uncover evidence to prove that legal liability for the accident lies with:

A motorist who made a careless or reckless decision behind the wheel, causing a crash;
The employer of a motorist who caused a crash while driving a work vehicle, especially if the employer failed to maintain that vehicle in safe driving condition or failed to screen or train its employee properly;
A bar, restaurant, liquor store, or other sellers of alcoholic beverages who violated the Texas dram shop statute by selling alcohol to someone who was obviously intoxicated or to a minor, who then got into a drunk driving accident;
An automotive manufacturer that sold defective products that contributed to the cause of a crash;
A municipal or state government entity that failed to design, build, or maintain safe roads, intersections, and other infrastructure, leading to an accident.

These are merely examples. Consult with the team at Trust Guss Injury Lawyers, today to learn about who may owe you money damages for the injuries and losses you suffered in an Edinburg car accident.
