Injured in Houston?

Tell us what happened and where. We are not a law firm and this is not legal advice; naming your city here is not a claim that we can connect you with an attorney in it.

What do we actually know about Houston?

Two public records. The Census Bureau estimates Houston has about 2,397,315 residents. The federal crash census (NHTSA FARS) counts 3,143 fatal crashes in Fort Bend County, Harris County, Montgomery County and Waller County from 2020 to 2024, the most in 2021 (676). Those are county-wide counts, not Houston alone. Neither figure says an attorney is available here, and neither indicates what any particular case is worth.

Houston has a population of about 2,397,315 (US Census Bureau, Population Estimates).

3,143 fatal traffic crashes were reported in Fort Bend County, Harris County, Montgomery County and Waller County between 2020 and 2024 (NHTSA FARS — Fatality Analysis Reporting System). This counts crashes across the whole county, not this city alone, and is not a prediction about any claim. Source

When and where did those crashes happen?

  • 1,998 of the 3,143 fatal crashes (64%) happened after dark.
  • 258 of the 3,143 fatal crashes (8%) happened on roads classed as rural.
  • 120 of the 3,143 fatal crashes (4%) began with a cyclist being struck.

NHTSA FARS — Fatality Analysis Reporting System, 2020–2024, across Fort Bend County, Harris County, Montgomery County and Waller County. "After dark" is the crash report's light condition; "rural" is the road's classification, not the city's; a cyclist is counted only when being struck was the first harmful event. Source

These are public figures about the area, published by the agencies named beside them. They describe roads and populations, not claims, and none of them says anything about what any particular case is worth.
