Car Accidents in Texas
Every year, thousands of people across Texas are injured in motor vehicle crashes. In 2023 alone, the Texas Department of Transportation reported over 15,000 serious injury crashes. These collisions affect families physically, emotionally, and financially—and often require long-term care. Whether in major cities or rural communities, Texans are impacted daily by vehicle accidents across the state.
As the dust settles after a crash, many victims face challenges beyond physical recovery. Below are several common injuries resulting from car accidents that impact recovery and long-term health:
- Whiplash and Soft Tissue Injuries: Neck strain and soft tissue damage are among the most common injuries, particularly in rear-end collisions. These injuries may not appear immediately but can cause lingering pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility.
- Broken Bones: Fractures in the arms, ribs, and legs are often seen in moderate to severe collisions. Depending on the bone and severity, recovery can require surgery, immobilization, and months of physical therapy.
- Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI): Even with seat belts and airbags, head injuries remain a serious risk. TBIs can range from mild concussions to permanent brain damage, affecting memory, coordination, and mood.
- Internal Injuries: High-impact collisions can cause damage to internal organs, including the liver, kidneys, or lungs. These injuries may not be visible and are often discovered only through hospital evaluations.
- Spinal Cord Injuries: Accidents can damage the spinal cord, leading to long-term issues including chronic pain, nerve damage, or paralysis. These injuries often involve intensive rehabilitation and lifestyle changes.
