Kerjerrion Reese hurt after Texas 149 collision in Gregg County

HEAD-ON CRASH INVESTIGATION

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, early estimates indicate that 39,345 people died in motor vehicle traffic crashes in 2024, a decrease of approximately 3.8 percent from the previous year. This downward trend has continued into 2025, with preliminary data for the first nine months showing an estimated 27,365 fatalities, a 6.4 percent decline compared to the same period in 2024.

Although these numbers show a consistent quarterly decline in roadway fatalities, authorities emphasize that driver error remains the leading cause of crashes. Speeding, distracted driving, and impairment are among the most common factors contributing to deadly head-on collisions nationwide.

“Contributing factors to be examined include road conditions, visibility, and lighting,” said Candice Bond, Managing Partner with Bond Legal.

“An accident reconstruction team is sometimes required to determine exactly what occurred. These resources are vital in helping clients recover compensation for damages or losses after a crash,” Bond added.

PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM

Kerjerrion Reese may have the right to pursue personal injury claims pending the outcome of the investigation.

Stefano Formica, of counsel at Bond Legal, explained, “Injured victims involved in a collision often pursue a personal injury claim to cover medical expenses, future treatment needs, lost income, emotional distress, and pain and suffering.”

“Insurance companies are often indifferent to the growing financial burden faced by injured victims. An attorney can provide crucial assistance by advocating for those affected and ensuring that insurance companies are held accountable,” he added.
