Car Accidents in Texas
Car accidents are a leading cause of injury and emergency response calls across Texas. The Texas Department of Transportation reports that a crash happens nearly every minute on Texas roads. In 2023, more than 244,000 individuals were injured in vehicle accidents across the state. These incidents range from minor fender benders to serious collisions that lead to hospital stays or long-term rehabilitation. Texas continues to focus on roadway safety measures, but many crashes still occur due to driver behavior and other conditions.
When crashes happen, there are often questions and confusion about what to do next. Below are several common injuries victims may experience and what they often require afterward:
- Whiplash and Soft Tissue Injuries: This is one of the most frequent outcomes of rear-end collisions. Victims may experience neck stiffness, headaches, and difficulty moving. Recovery often includes physical therapy and weeks of limited activity.
- Broken Bones: Broken arms, ribs, and legs are common in higher-speed wrecks. These injuries typically require immediate emergency treatment, sometimes surgery, and extended healing time.
- Head Injuries and Concussions: Even with airbags, head trauma can happen in a crash. Concussions may lead to dizziness, memory issues, and other symptoms that can linger. Some victims need follow-up care for weeks or months.
- Back and Spinal Injuries: A crash can severely damage the spine, especially in rollover or high-impact collisions. These injuries are often serious, sometimes life-altering, and may demand surgery or long-term therapy.
- Cuts and Bruises from Debris: Flying glass and impact with interior components of a vehicle can lead to lacerations and contusions. Though often not life-threatening, these wounds may still require stitches and can result in scarring.
