Car Accidents in Texas
Texas continues to see high numbers of roadway crashes each year. According to the Texas Department of Transportation, in 2023, over 15,000 serious injury crashes were reported across the state, with thousands more involving minor injuries or property damage. Hit-and-run incidents add another layer of hardship, especially for victims left behind without immediate assistance or accountability.
These crashes can leave victims facing long-term consequences. Below are common injuries people may experience after a motor vehicle accident:
- Soft Tissue Injuries: These include sprains, bruises, and whiplash. While often invisible to the naked eye, soft tissue damage can cause persistent pain and discomfort, sometimes requiring physical therapy.
- Head Trauma: Even seemingly mild head injuries can lead to concussions or traumatic brain injuries. These conditions may not show immediate symptoms but can seriously affect memory, cognition, and mood.
- Broken Bones: Fractures are common in car accidents and often demand extended recovery time. Some breaks require surgery or physical rehabilitation, interrupting a person’s ability to work or care for themselves.
- Back and Spine Injuries: Damage to the back or spinal cord can lead to chronic pain or even paralysis in severe cases. These injuries often involve high medical costs and extensive recovery efforts.
- Emotional Trauma: Beyond physical harm, many victims suffer anxiety, depression, or PTSD following a crash. Mental health support becomes essential for full recovery after traumatic incidents.
- Internal Injuries: Organ damage or internal bleeding may not show signs immediately, making emergency evaluation crucial. These injuries can be life-threatening without quick medical intervention.
