As students head back to school in August, Houston roads become noticeably busier. School buses return, parents adjust to morning drop-offs, teenage drivers are back behind the wheel, and traffic increases throughout the city. While everyone is focused on getting to class or work on time, it’s also one of the most important times of the year to drive with extra caution.
More Traffic Means More Opportunities for Accidents
Back-to-school season brings heavier congestion during morning and afternoon commute hours. Busy intersections, school zones, and distracted drivers can all contribute to an increased risk of accidents.
Some of the most common causes of crashes this time of year include:
- Distracted driving
- Speeding through school zones
- Failure to yield to pedestrians
- Rear-end collisions in heavy traffic
- Drivers ignoring school bus stop signs
Even a routine commute can change in an instant when another driver isn’t paying attention.
What to Do After an Accident
If you’re involved in a crash, your priority should always be your safety and the safety of everyone involved. Seek medical attention if needed, document the accident scene when possible, and report the collision to law enforcement.
Before accepting a settlement from an insurance company, it’s important to understand your rights. Insurance adjusters often begin working immediately to minimize claims, sometimes before the full extent of injuries is known.
