Injured in a highway accident?

EXPERIENCED HOUSTON HIGHWAY ACCIDENT & INJURY ATTORNEY


At Charles J. Argento, our Houston highway accident and injury lawyer knows that our city is the most populous in Texas — with 2.31 million people calling Houston home — and the fourth-most populous city in the United States.

Comprising a total area of just over 637 square miles, Houston is the ninth-most expansive city in the United States, which makes it an automobile-dependent city, with an estimated 77.2% of the population commuting along our expansive highways and interstate system each day.

In Harris County, where Houston is located, there were nearly 3.5 million vehicles registered last year. Because of the staggering number of vehicles on our roadways, most survey respondents indicated traffic congestion was the most significant problem facing the Houston metropolitan area.

Unfortunately, millions of vehicles combined with the severe traffic congestion on our highways lead to catastrophic accidents, injuries, and fatalities in Houston every year.

No matter where your accident occurred in Houston, our skilled personal injury attorney will provide the legal knowledge and resources you need to pursue the liable party for damages.
