Car Accidents in Texas
Motor vehicle accidents are an unfortunate reality across Texas. In 2023 alone, the Texas Department of Transportation reported over 15,000 serious injury crashes, with thousands more experiencing less severe but still impactful injuries. These incidents can happen anywhere, at any time, and often leave lasting effects on victims and their families.
Understanding how these incidents affect victims can help people better prepare for the potential aftermath of a crash. Here are several types of injuries that are frequently reported:
- Soft Tissue Injuries: These include whiplash, sprains, and bruising, and they’re among the most common injuries after a crash. While they may seem minor, they can result in lasting discomfort and limited mobility. Some soft tissue injuries also worsen over time, requiring medical follow-ups and rehabilitation.
- Fractures and Broken Bones: Collisions often produce enough force to break bones, especially in high-impact crashes. Victims may require surgeries, casts, or physical therapy. Broken arms, legs, ribs, and facial bones are often reported, particularly when airbags deploy or vehicles roll over.
- Concussions and Traumatic Brain Injuries: Head injuries can be some of the most complex and unpredictable consequences of a car accident. Symptoms may not be immediate, ranging from headaches to memory issues. Ongoing medical monitoring is often necessary to manage recovery.
- Spinal Injuries: Damage to the spinal cord or surrounding areas can cause long-term complications or permanent disability. Even less severe spinal injuries can interfere with day-to-day functioning and employment.
- Psychological Effects: An often-overlooked part of recovery is emotional trauma. Anxiety, PTSD, and depression can all stem from a serious crash, especially when injuries are severe or the crash involves a fatality.
