Car Accidents in Texas
Traffic accidents are unfortunately common across Texas, especially in rural areas like Wood County. The Texas Department of Transportation notes that a person is injured in a crash every two minutes on average across the state. These incidents often disrupt lives in an instant, causing pain, confusion, and financial strain for victims and their families.
When accidents like this occur, there are many unseen ways they can impact a person’s life. Below are a few examples of common accident-related injuries:
- Whiplash and Neck Injuries: Whiplash is one of the most reported injuries in rear-end collisions. It happens when the neck is suddenly forced back and forth. Victims may experience stiffness, pain, dizziness, or even long-term discomfort if not treated promptly.
- Back Injuries: The spine is vulnerable during vehicle impacts. Herniated discs and soft tissue injuries can leave victims unable to work or care for themselves, requiring physical therapy or surgery depending on severity.
- Broken Bones: Arms, legs, ribs, and facial bones are often fractured during car crashes. Healing can take weeks or months, and some breaks may need pins or rods to ensure proper alignment and function.
- Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI): Even mild concussions can have lasting effects. More serious TBIs may affect memory, concentration, or personality, sometimes requiring lifelong care or adjustments in employment and daily routines.
