Amarillo Vehicle Accident Report: March 2019
Auto accidents happen frequently and can lead to life-altering injuries and, in some cases, death. According to Safer America, “Car accidents are the leading cause of death among young adults ages 15-29 and the ninth leading cause of death for all people.”
An automobile collision can greatly affect an individual and their family. For this reason, we believe our community should stay informed on recent accidents that have occurred in order to encourage drivers to use additional caution on the Amarillo roads. Our team of attorneys has created a vehicle accident report covering some of the accidents that happened in our community in the month of March.

Our Amarillo car accident attorneys can assess the factors of your case and inform you of your legal options. If you qualify for compensation, we will gather the information required to build a strong claim and help you receive the compensation you deserve.
