Car Accidents in Texas
Car accidents in Texas are a significant concern, with thousands of incidents occurring every year. In 2022, the Texas Department of Transportation reported over 600,000 motor vehicle crashes, resulting in more than 256,000 injuries. There are several common causes of car accidents in Texas. Distracted driving, such as texting or using a phone while driving, is a leading cause. Speeding and reckless driving also contribute significantly to crashes. Additionally, driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs greatly increases the risk of accidents. Weather conditions, such as rain and fog, can also make driving hazardous, leading to more collisions.
Injuries resulting from car accidents can vary widely. Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) are another serious concern, occurring when the head strikes an object during an accident. Broken bones, including fractures in the arms, legs, or ribs, are common, as are spinal cord injuries that can lead to significant mobility issues. Whiplash, a neck injury caused by sudden movements, is a frequent issue. Soft tissue injuries, such as sprains and strains, are also prevalent and can cause ongoing pain.
