Car Accidents in Texas
Texas roadways are no stranger to accidents, with thousands of crashes occurring each year. The Texas Department of Transportation reports that in one recent year, over 250,000 people were injured in traffic accidents across the state. Intersections like Lindbergh Drive and Troup Highway often see high traffic volumes, increasing the likelihood of collisions.
When accidents happen, victims often face significant challenges. Here are some common types of injuries sustained in car crashes:
- Whiplash and Neck Injuries – Sudden impact can cause the head to jerk forward and back, leading to painful soft tissue injuries. Many victims experience stiffness, headaches, and reduced mobility.
- Broken Bones – The force of a collision can lead to fractures, often affecting the arms, legs, ribs, and collarbones. Recovery may require surgery or extensive rehabilitation.
- Head Injuries and Concussions – Even minor crashes can cause head trauma, leading to dizziness, memory loss, or long-term cognitive issues. Severe cases may involve traumatic brain injuries (TBI).
- Back and Spinal Cord Injuries – Damage to the spine can result in herniated discs, nerve damage, or even paralysis in serious cases. These injuries often require long-term treatment.
- Internal Injuries – The impact of a crash can cause internal bleeding or organ damage, sometimes without immediate symptoms. Seeking medical attention right away is crucial.
