According to a 2018 National Safety Council (NSC) report, it was estimated that 40,000 people died in a motor vehicle accident that year. While this was a 1 percent decrease from the year before, 2018 was still one of three years in a row during which car accidents hit an all-time high and led to well over $412.8 billion in damages. It’s no secret that car accidents can cause serious injuries – or even death. The fact of the matter, however, is that not all car accidents are the victim’s fault. Even in a single-vehicle accident, other contributing factors – like defective automobile parts – can cause a car accident. Depending on the circumstances of your accident, a third-party may be liable. From motorcycle accidents to car accidents, you need the experienced Rio Grande Valley car accident lawyers of J. Gonzalez Injury Attorneys by your side.

You may have heard the term ‘ambulance chaser’ before. It refers to doctors, chiropractors, and even lawyers that solicit car accident victims in their most vulnerable moments.

According to a 2019 report by the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT), a total of 4,889 large truck and buses were involved in a fatal crash in 2017. This number reflects a 9 percent increase from 2016. Since 2009, the number of these particular types of accidents has increased by 42 percent.
In part, many of these large truck and bus accidents stem from negligent commercial truck drivers and/or trucking companies that are lax in their safety protocols. Ultimately, it is you – the victim of this negligence – that suffers the consequences of these wrongful actions.
