ACCIDENTS HAPPEN FOR A NUMBER OF REASONS

March 3, 2017

People throughout the country, including the Bryan, Texas, area hit the roads every day for various reasons. Whether you are heading to and from work, visiting friends or family, or just running out to pick up some groceries, it is not uncommon for people to take the potential dangers of the road for granted.

Whenever you pull out of your driveway and hit the streets, there are countless potential hazards that could lead to an accident. Bad weather could lead to ponding on the roads which could lead to accidents and windy weather can affect the steering of larger vehicles and trucks. As we know, the popularity of smartphones also means a drastic increase in distracted driving from people texting and driving and even checking social media while on the roads. Drunk driving is also still a concern for anyone on the roads.

For more than 20 years, the team at Rick Davis & Associates have been helping clients throughout the Bryan, Texas, area with various law issues including criminal defense such as drug offenses, driving while intoxicated, personal injury including car accidents, as well as estate planning and wills and even family law issues such as child custody, child support, alimony, property division and adoption.

Unfortunately, as safe a driver as you may be, you never know the about the person next to you, behind you, or approaching you from the other side of the street. Even if you take all the necessary precautions to assure a safe ride, accidents do happen and can drastically affect a victim’s life when they go through a personal injury.
