Auto Accidents in Texas
Car accidents are a major issue in Texas, with nearly half a million crashes reported every year. Various common factors contribute to these incidents, with distracted driving—such as texting or using a phone while operating a vehicle—being one of the main causes. Speeding and reckless driving also greatly increase the chances of accidents. Driving while impaired poses an even higher risk, while adverse weather conditions like rain and fog make the roads more dangerous, leading to an increase in collisions.
Injuries from car accidents can range from minor to severe. Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) are particularly concerning, as they often happen when a person’s head hits an object during the crash. Broken bones, like leg fractures or arms, are also common. More serious injuries, like damage to the spinal cord, can lead to long-term mobility issues or even paralysis. Whiplash, caused by sudden jerking motions of the neck, frequently occurs in car accidents, along with soft tissue injuries such as sprains and strains, which can cause ongoing pain and discomfort.
