Car Accidents in Texas
Car crashes are unfortunately common across Texas. In fact, the Texas Department of Transportation reports that in 2023, one person was injured in a traffic crash every two minutes and eleven seconds statewide. These collisions range from minor to severe and often lead to significant physical and emotional strain for those involved.
To better understand how these crashes affect victims, here are a few important insights into the kinds of injuries many people suffer in serious auto accidents:
- Soft Tissue Injuries: These are some of the most common injuries, including whiplash, strains, and sprains. They may seem minor at first, but they can cause ongoing pain and discomfort if not properly addressed. Many victims don’t feel the full impact until days after the crash.
- Back and Spine Trauma: Car accidents often lead to herniated discs or spinal misalignment. In some cases, these injuries result in long-term limitations or chronic pain. Recovery can require surgery, therapy, or months of rest.
- Head and Brain Injuries: Even without direct impact, a crash can cause the brain to jolt violently. Concussions or more serious traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) are common. Victims may experience headaches, memory loss, or cognitive issues after the wreck.
- Fractures and Broken Bones: High-speed or multi-vehicle collisions increase the chance of broken limbs or ribs. Treatment for these injuries may involve surgery, casts, or physical therapy, all of which can be physically and financially draining.
