Car Accidents in Texas
Motor vehicle crashes remain a daily concern throughout Texas, with thousands of people suffering injuries every year. In 2024, state data showed more than 15,000 serious injury crashes. These incidents often involve high traffic areas, intersections, and commuter routes, particularly during early morning and late-night hours.
Let’s take a closer look at some of the common injuries accident victims often experience:
- Whiplash and Neck Injuries: These are some of the most frequently reported injuries. The sudden force of a crash can cause the head and neck to snap forward and back quickly, straining soft tissues. Many people don’t feel the full extent of these injuries until hours or even days later.
- Fractures and Broken Bones: The impact of a collision, especially when vehicles are traveling at high speeds, can lead to broken arms, legs, ribs, or hips. Recovery often requires weeks of rest, physical therapy, or even surgery.
- Concussions and Head Injuries: Even with airbags, head injuries can occur if the head strikes the window, steering wheel, or dashboard. These injuries may cause headaches, dizziness, memory loss, or more severe cognitive issues if untreated.
- Back and Spine Injuries: Spinal injuries can range from mild strain to severe disk herniations. In some cases, damage to the spinal cord may result in partial or full paralysis, significantly changing the victim’s quality of life.
- Lacerations and Bruising: Broken glass and sudden airbag deployment often cause bruises and cuts. While many are minor, deeper wounds can leave permanent scars or require stitches.
- Psychological Trauma: Anxiety, PTSD, and emotional distress are common after serious accidents. It’s not unusual for victims to need mental health support long after physical wounds begin healing.
