Car Accidents in Texas
Every year, thousands of drivers in Texas experience the aftermath of a serious car crash. According to state data, more than 244,000 people were injured in traffic collisions in 2023 alone. That means on average, someone is hurt on Texas roads nearly every two minutes. The ripple effects of these crashes can be felt in homes, hospitals, and courtrooms across the state.
Let’s take a closer look at some of the most common financial burdens victims face after a crash:
- Emergency Medical Costs: From ambulance rides to ER visits and scans, the first few hours after a crash can result in hefty bills. Even with insurance, many patients face high deductibles and out-of-pocket expenses.
- Ongoing Treatment Expenses: Recovery doesn’t always end after one hospital visit. Physical therapy, follow-up appointments, medications, and possible surgeries can add up quickly—especially for injuries like back trauma or broken bones.
- Lost Income: When injuries prevent someone from returning to work, it can put a huge strain on a household budget. Even short-term time off can mean missed paychecks, while long-term absences might require job retraining or disability assistance.
- Vehicle Repairs or Replacement: A totaled or severely damaged vehicle can leave families scrambling to find reliable transportation. Insurance delays or disputes can drag this process out, adding more stress.
- Long-Term Lifestyle Adjustments: Serious injuries can change how a person lives. Home modifications, mobility aids, or ongoing caregiving services may be needed—all of which carry ongoing costs.
