Car Accidents in Texas
Texas roads see thousands of crashes each year, many of which lead to injuries or fatalities. According to the Texas Department of Transportation, there were over 4,400 traffic-related deaths statewide in a recent year, with countless others suffering severe injuries. Speeding, distracted driving, and impaired driving contribute to a significant number of these accidents.
Understanding the risks on Texas roadways can help prevent collisions. Below are some common types of injuries that victims often suffer after a crash:
- Whiplash and Neck Injuries – Sudden movements during an impact can strain the neck and soft tissues, leading to pain and stiffness that may persist for weeks.
- Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs) – A forceful blow to the head can result in concussions or more severe brain injuries, affecting memory, motor function, and cognitive abilities.
- Spinal Cord Damage – Damage to the spine can lead to limited mobility, nerve pain, or even paralysis, depending on the severity of the injury.
- Broken Bones – Arms, legs, and ribs are particularly vulnerable in high-impact crashes. Fractures may require surgery and long-term rehabilitation.
- Internal Injuries – Blunt force trauma can cause organ damage and internal bleeding, which may not be immediately apparent but require urgent medical care.
When injured in a crash, it is crucial to seek immediate medical attention and document your injuries for potential legal action.
