Car Accidents in Texas
Texas continues to see thousands of car crashes each year, ranging from minor fender-benders to major collisions. In 2024, data from the Texas Department of Transportation showed over 430,000 reported crashes statewide. These incidents often lead to serious injury, property loss, and disruption for victims and their families.
Many of these collisions stem from circumstances that could have been avoided. Below are common injury types victims experience during car crashes.
- Whiplash and Neck Injuries: One of the most frequent injuries after rear-end collisions, whiplash can cause lingering pain and stiffness. These soft-tissue injuries often require ongoing physical therapy and medical follow-up.
- Back and Spine Injuries: Damage to the spinal column or discs can result in severe pain or even paralysis. Victims might experience reduced mobility and need long-term care.
- Broken Bones: The force of a crash can easily lead to fractures in arms, legs, ribs, or the collarbone. Recovery times vary, and in some cases, surgery may be required.
- Concussions and Head Injuries: Even with airbags, head injuries can happen during collisions. Some victims suffer from traumatic brain injuries that affect cognition, memory, and behavior.
- Internal Injuries: Blunt force trauma can damage organs and internal systems, sometimes without immediate symptoms. These injuries are life-threatening and require urgent care.
- Facial Injuries: Glass shattering or airbag deployment can cause facial cuts, bruises, or dental damage. Some injuries result in lasting scarring or the need for reconstructive procedures.
