Car Accidents in Texas
Texas sees thousands of car accidents every year, with many resulting in injuries or fatalities. According to the Texas Department of Transportation, over 400,000 crashes were reported in a single recent year, leading to tens of thousands of injuries. Many of these accidents occur due to factors such as distracted driving, speeding, or reckless maneuvers.
Even a seemingly minor crash can have lasting consequences. Here are some of the most common injuries victims experience after a collision:

- Head Trauma: Even with airbags, victims can suffer concussions or traumatic brain injuries from striking the dashboard or windows.
- Broken Bones: Arms, legs, ribs, and facial bones are commonly fractured in serious crashes.
- Spinal Cord Injuries: Damage to the spine can lead to chronic pain, nerve damage, or even paralysis in severe cases.
- Internal Injuries: Blunt-force trauma can cause internal bleeding or organ damage, sometimes with life-threatening consequences.
