Car accidents spike in January as commuters return to work.
When the holidays end and daily routines return, Texas roads become much busier. Offices reopen, schools resume, and commuters head back to work in full force. As traffic increases, so does the risk of car accidents.
Winter weather causes thousands of accidents across Texas each year.
Snow may be rare in much of Texas, but winter weather still creates dangerous conditions for drivers across the state. Rain, fog, and ice can appear suddenly and significantly increase the risk of serious accidents. According to the Texas Department of Insurance, nearly 60,000 crashes each year are attributed to hazardous weather conditions. With increased travel during the holiday season, understanding these risks—and knowing your legal rights if an accident occurs—is essential.
November is peak season for car accidents involving deer.
Texas’s open landscapes are home to abundant wildlife — including large deer populations that often wander near busy roadways. While spotting a deer can be a beautiful moment, it can also be dangerous. Deer move unpredictably, frequently dart across lanes, and can cause severe collisions before a driver has time to react.
