Car Accidents in Texas
Texas consistently sees some of the highest numbers of car accidents in the country. According to the Texas Department of Transportation, more than 15,000 people sustained serious injuries in car crashes across the state in a single year. These accidents frequently result from speeding, distracted driving, and failure to yield. With its growing population and extensive highway system, the risks on Texas roads continue to increase.
When looking at how crashes affect people, here are some common injury types often associated with car wrecks:
- Back and Neck Injuries: Whiplash and spinal damage are common outcomes of rear-end collisions and sudden stops. These injuries may not appear immediately but can develop into long-term problems that impact daily mobility and quality of life.
- Concussions and Head Trauma: Even with airbags, victims can suffer head injuries if their head strikes a window or steering wheel. These can range from mild concussions to traumatic brain injuries, sometimes requiring long-term neurological care.
- Broken Bones and Fractures: Arms, legs, and ribs are frequently fractured during high-impact crashes. Recovery often involves surgery or physical therapy, causing extended time away from work and personal responsibilities.
- Lacerations and Soft Tissue Damage: Shattered glass or vehicle components can cause deep cuts or tissue injuries. In some cases, these wounds result in infections or permanent scarring.
- Emotional and Psychological Impact: Not all damage is physical. Many crash survivors experience anxiety, PTSD, or depression, especially after a severe or fatal accident.
- Internal Injuries
Damage to organs such as the liver or spleen may not be immediately visible but can pose life-threatening complications if not treated quickly.
