Car Accidents in Texas
Vehicle crashes happen daily across Texas, with rural counties like Henderson often seeing serious incidents on state highways and farm roads. In 2023, the state recorded over 600,000 traffic crashes, many of which resulted in injuries requiring medical attention. Highways such as the one involved in this Mabank incident often present risks due to speed limits, traffic flow, and limited shoulder space.
When a wreck like this occurs, many victims suffer injuries that impact their daily lives. Let’s take a closer look at common challenges people face after a crash:
- Neck and Back Injuries: These injuries are among the most frequently reported after vehicle collisions. Even in what may seem like a minor crash, the force of impact can cause significant strain or damage to the neck and spine. Long-term treatment may be needed, including chiropractic care, physical therapy, or even surgery.
- Burns and Lacerations: Broken glass, twisted metal, and vehicle fires can all cause cuts and burns. Some injuries are superficial, while others may result in permanent scarring or the need for reconstructive treatment. Quick medical care is essential to reduce the risk of infection and long-term damage.
- Airbag-Related Injuries: While airbags save lives, they can also cause injuries, especially when deploying at high speed. Victims may suffer facial injuries, broken noses, or bruised ribs. Proper seat positioning and seat belt use help minimize these risks.
- Internal Injuries: These injuries are particularly dangerous because they are not always immediately visible. Blunt force trauma can damage internal organs or cause internal bleeding, requiring urgent surgical care. Prompt medical attention is vital after any crash involving high impact.
