As we head into the winter season, Texas will experience several days of wet weather. With wet pavement contributing to approximately 1.2 million collisions every year, it is important to exercise extreme caution while driving in the rain in order to avoid losing control of your vehicle. We at Fibich, Leebron, Copeland & Briggs have put together a short list of tips to remind drivers how to stay safe while driving in the rain.
Consider these safety tips before driving in wet conditions:
Although the weather may be a contributing factor in a car accident, drivers are still ultimately responsible for maintaining control of their vehicles. Those who drive in a manner which is unsafe for current driving conditions can still be held liable in the event that they injure or kill someone in an accident.
If you or a family member have been injured in a car accident, you may be able to pursue compensation by filing a personal injury claim.
