Car Accidents in Texas
Car accidents remain one of the most frequent causes of injury in Texas. According to state data, one person is injured in a crash about every two minutes on Texas roads. In 2023, the Texas Department of Transportation reported over 240,000 injury-related crashes. These events range from minor fender-benders to multi-vehicle collisions that result in serious harm. Recovery can be physically and emotionally exhausting for victims, especially when dealing with insurance or medical costs.
Each accident brings different consequences, and it’s important to understand some of the most frequent types of injuries drivers and passengers face:
- Neck and Back Injuries: Whiplash and spinal trauma are extremely common in crashes. These injuries may not show symptoms immediately but can develop into chronic pain or disability if untreated. Victims often require physical therapy or chiropractic care, sometimes for months or longer.
- Concussions and Head Trauma: Even with airbags, the force of an impact can lead to serious brain injuries. Concussions can cause confusion, headaches, or memory issues. In more severe cases, victims suffer long-term cognitive impairments that require neurological care.
- Broken Bones: Arm, leg, and rib fractures happen frequently during crashes. Treatment may involve surgery, casting, and long recovery times, affecting a person’s ability to work or complete daily tasks.
- Soft Tissue Damage: These injuries involve muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Though less visible, they can be extremely painful. Recovery may include rest, physical therapy, and medications for pain or inflammation.
- Internal Injuries: Trauma to internal organs is serious and sometimes life-threatening. Emergency surgery may be required to prevent further complications. These injuries are often detected only through imaging tests after a crash.
