Car Accidents in Texas
Motor vehicle accidents continue to be a leading cause of injury and death throughout Texas. In 2023 alone, the state recorded thousands of crashes that led to serious injuries or fatalities. Whether in urban intersections or rural highways, collisions are a daily reality for Texas drivers. Speeding, distracted driving, and failure to yield are among the top causes reported in statewide traffic studies.
When people are injured in Texas crashes, the impact can be long-lasting. Below are a few common injuries sustained in crashes like the one in Tyler:
-
Whiplash and Neck Injuries: These soft tissue injuries occur when the head snaps forward and back during a collision. Whiplash may seem minor at first but can develop into chronic pain that requires physical therapy or long-term treatment.
-
Head Injuries and Concussions: Even when airbags deploy, drivers and passengers may hit their heads on windows or dashboards. A mild concussion can lead to dizziness, memory loss, and concentration problems, while more serious head trauma may require emergency care and rehabilitation.
-
Broken Bones: From fractured wrists and ribs to broken legs, bone injuries are common in high-impact accidents. Recovery may require surgery, casting, or physical therapy, sometimes leading to lasting mobility challenges.
-
Back and Spinal Injuries: Spinal cord trauma can range from herniated discs to full paralysis. Even minor injuries may limit a person’s ability to work or perform daily tasks, with significant recovery time required.
-
Internal Injuries: Blunt force from a crash can damage organs or cause internal bleeding. These injuries may not be immediately apparent but can quickly become life-threatening if not treated right away.
