Car Accidents in Texas
Texas roads see a significant number of car accidents each year, with congested city roads being especially prone to multi-vehicle crashes. In 2023 alone, the Texas Department of Transportation reported over 600,000 motor vehicle accidents across the state. Many of these incidents resulted in injuries, requiring medical attention and prolonged recovery periods.
When accidents occur, victims often face immediate and long-term challenges. Here are some of the most common injuries sustained in crashes:
- Whiplash & Soft Tissue Injuries – Sudden impacts can strain muscles, ligaments, and tendons, causing neck and back pain that may take weeks to heal.
- Broken Bones & Fractures – High-impact collisions frequently result in fractures, which may require surgery or extended immobilization.
- Head & Traumatic Brain Injuries – Even with airbags, victims can suffer concussions or more severe brain trauma, leading to cognitive and physical impairments.
- Spinal Cord Injuries – Some crashes result in damage to the spinal cord, which can cause temporary or permanent mobility issues.
- Internal Injuries – Blunt force trauma from an accident may lead to internal bleeding or organ damage, which can be life-threatening if not treated promptly.
