Car Accidents in Texas
Texas roads are the site of thousands of crashes every year, many of which result in injuries or fatalities. Data from the Texas Department of Transportation shows that there was at least one crash involving injury or death every five minutes across the state. As cities like Tyler grow, so does traffic volume—and with it, the potential for serious collisions.
Understanding what can happen during and after an accident is key to moving forward safely.
Here are a few common injuries that occur in Texas car accidents:
- Whiplash and Neck Injuries: Sudden stops or collisions often cause the head and neck to snap forward or backward, leading to whiplash. These injuries can be painful and lingering, sometimes taking weeks or even months to fully heal.
- Broken Bones: Arms, legs, ribs, and other bones are at risk during impact. Fractures can range from minor to severe and might require surgery or extended rehabilitation, depending on the location and nature of the break.
- Head and Brain Injuries: Even if the head doesn’t strike a surface, the force of a crash can cause a traumatic brain injury. These injuries range from concussions to more severe conditions that impact memory, cognition, and quality of life.
- Back and Spinal Cord Injuries: Injuries to the spine can be life-altering. Damage to the vertebrae, discs, or spinal cord can lead to chronic pain or even paralysis, especially in high-speed or rollover crashes.
- Internal Injuries: Blunt-force trauma can damage organs, cause internal bleeding, and may not always be immediately obvious. Quick medical evaluation after any crash is important to identify these potentially dangerous injuries.
