Car Accidents in Texas
Each year in Texas, thousands of lives are impacted by vehicle crashes, ranging from minor collisions to more serious incidents involving injury or death. According to state data, in 2023 alone, there was one reportable crash every 57 seconds. With such high numbers, it’s critical that drivers stay alert and cautious on the roadways.
Understanding what happens after a crash is just as important. Here are a few key things to know about injuries resulting from Texas car accidents:
- Soft Tissue Injuries: These are some of the most common injuries and include damage to muscles, ligaments, and tendons. Even a low-speed crash can cause whiplash or sprains. While these might not seem serious at first, symptoms can worsen over time if not treated promptly.
- Head and Brain Trauma: Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) can occur even if there is no visible head wound. Concussions, for example, may not show symptoms right away but can lead to long-term cognitive and emotional issues. Getting checked by a medical professional is essential after any head impact.
- Spinal Cord and Back Injuries: Damage to the spinal column can have life-altering effects. Herniated discs, fractured vertebrae, or nerve injuries may require surgery or long-term care. Chronic pain is also a common result of back trauma.
- Internal Injuries: Organ damage or internal bleeding may not be obvious immediately following a crash. These injuries can be fatal if left untreated, so emergency medical evaluation is vital.
- Fractures and Broken Bones: Arms, legs, ribs, and facial bones are all susceptible in car accidents. Recovery often involves casting, physical therapy, or surgery, depending on the severity.
- Emotional and Psychological Impact: The trauma of a crash can trigger anxiety, depression, or post-traumatic stress. Mental health care should not be overlooked when addressing recovery from an accident.
