Car Accidents in Texas
Car accidents are a serious issue in Texas, with thousands of crashes happening every year. In 2022 alone, Texas reported over 300,000 motor vehicle accidents, leading to many injuries and fatalities. Among these, rollover accidents are particularly concerning due to their high severity. Rollovers happen when a vehicle flips onto its side or roof, usually as a result of high-speed impacts or abrupt maneuvers.
Rollovers are especially dangerous because they involve multiple impacts and can cause the vehicle to collapse in ways that other types of crashes do not. There is also a higher risk of being thrown from the vehicle, which can lead to more severe injuries. Common injuries from rollover accidents include traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, broken bones, and damage to internal organs. These injuries can have long-term effects and often require extensive medical care and rehabilitation.
