Holding the City of Stafford Responsible
FOR MAINTAINING ITS ROADWAYS
Car accidents aren’t always the result of negligent drivers. In many car accident cases, they can be caused by a municipality’s failure to maintain its roads. A personal injury attorney can help you win your car accident case even if there is no other driver involved.
For years, Stafford has proudly branded itself as a city that collects no property taxes, but many believe this perk is causing problems. Some local business owners are moving their operations to other cities due to roads in Stafford that they say are deteriorating and easily flooded. In fact, the Fort Bend Star reported that as of December 2021, the city’s budget allocates nothing to street problems.
If you or someone you love has suffered a car crash due to flooding, potholes or other roadway hazards that could have been prevented with proper maintenance, rest assured that board-certified attorneys Travis B. Terry and Jackson R. Reed are ready to go to work to prove who is responsible and make sure you collect the restitution to which you are entitled. The car accident lawyers at our law firm will face any opponent in a personal injury case to help you achieve justice.

High-Risk Places to Drive in Stafford
No thoroughfare is void of risk. Whether you are on your way to work in Houston or just heading a few blocks away for groceries, an act of negligence on the part of any motorist, the City of Stafford, TXDOT or any other entity can result in a car accident. However, there are some areas in town where accidents have been more likely to occur, including:
Murphy Road
As of April 2022, TXDOT is at work creating medians and other preventive changes to try and make this north-south road have fewer of the U-turn accidents that have made it notorious. TXDOT reported that between 2015 and 2019, the portion of the road between Fountain Gate and Stafford Center Drive had a crash rate 98% higher than the statewide rate on other farm-to-market roads.
U.S. Route 59
U.S. Route 59 is a north-south interstate highway that runs from Mexico to Canada, connecting Stafford to Houston along the way. As recently as April 2022, a car accident involving an 18-wheeler on U.S. 59 momentarily stopped all traffic moving through Stafford. In March of 2022, another car crash on U.S. 59 near Stafford hospitalized two civilian motorists and a Sugar Land police officer.
U.S. Route 90 Alternate
This east-west thoroughfare is another route Stafford commuters frequently take in and out of Houston each day. In December 2021, traffic on Route 90 temporarily ground to a halt due to a fatal car crash involving a moving truck that occurred near where the highway crosses Cravens Road, just outside the northeast city limits of Stafford.

What Should I Be Doing Right Now?
If you’re reading this, the very first thing you need to do is contact an attorney with our law firm. Having a dedicated car accident lawyer in your corner is the single most important step a victim can take on the way to rebuilding their life in the aftermath of a car accident. Once you have reached out to an attorney, these are the most effective ways that you can increase the likelihood of successful legal action against the responsible party:
Direct Questions About the Accident to Your Lawyer
If an insurance adjuster or anybody else representing the responsible party reaches out to you wanting to discuss the accident, simply tell them that they need to speak to your car accident lawyer. These people are not on your side. Instead, they are trying to obtain anything at all that supports minimizing your claim, including out-of-context statements. Even if one of these individuals is trying to offer you a settlement, you must direct them to a car accident lawyer who can first verify that the offer will actually cover the losses you have suffered. Our attorneys are here to protect you.
Attend All Scheduled Medical Appointments
It's entirely possible that you feel fine at the moment, or do not feel seriously injured. But car accident injuries are notorious for being slow to reveal their true extent. The truth is that what may seem like minor injuries now could affect you for the rest of your life. Therefore, don't skip any medical appointments of any kind, and keep track of all paperwork related to these appointments, including medical bills. This is crucial evidence that we need in order to illustrate exactly how this accident has affected you and will continue to do so.
Preserve All Evidence in Your Possession
Did you take any photos at the accident scene? Did you get the names or contact information of anybody who witnessed the accident? Information that is easy to collect on a smartphone is equally easy to back up and preserve. You don't have to be a technology whiz to send accident photos, information about the other driver, copies of medical bills or any other digital evidence to your own email address, where it can be safely stored even if your phone becomes damaged. A greater amount of evidence will allow your personal injury attorney to build a stronger case.
