Car Accidents in Texas
Texas consistently ranks among the top states for traffic-related injuries and fatalities. In recent years, the Texas Department of Transportation has reported hundreds of thousands of crashes annually, many involving serious injury. With its vast network of roadways and growing population, traffic accidents are, unfortunately, a daily occurrence across the state.
When it comes to auto collisions, it’s helpful to understand some common injury types that can emerge from even seemingly minor wrecks:
- Whiplash and Soft Tissue Injuries: Whiplash often occurs in rear-end crashes and can take hours or days to show symptoms. Victims may experience neck stiffness, headaches, or reduced mobility. Soft tissue injuries like sprains and strains are also frequently reported.
- Head and Brain Trauma: Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) can result from direct impact or sudden movement. Concussions are common in moderate crashes, while severe collisions can lead to lasting neurological complications.
- Broken Bones and Fractures: Arms, wrists, legs, and ribs are commonly broken in car accidents due to bracing or being struck by vehicle parts. Recovery times vary, with some requiring surgical repair and physical therapy.
- Spinal Cord Injuries: Back and spinal injuries can severely limit mobility and impact daily life. Some individuals may suffer herniated discs or, in extreme cases, partial paralysis.
- Internal Bleeding and Organ Damage: Not all injuries are visible. Blunt force trauma can damage internal organs, causing internal bleeding that requires urgent care.
- Psychological Trauma: Emotional distress like anxiety, PTSD, and depression can develop in the aftermath of a crash, especially when the event is severe or life-threatening.
