Car Accidents in Texas
Every year, thousands of Texans are injured in vehicle collisions. In 2023, the state saw over 15,000 serious injury crashes, according to the Texas Department of Transportation. Urban areas like Tyler are especially prone to multi-car accidents, often due to high traffic volumes and frequent intersections.
Let’s take a look at some common injuries people experience in these crashes:
- Neck and Back Injuries: One of the most frequent injuries in car wrecks is whiplash, caused by sudden jerking motions. Herniated discs or spinal misalignments can also develop, sometimes requiring long-term therapy or surgery. Even low-speed impacts can lead to serious spinal trauma.
- Head Injuries: Concussions and other traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) can occur when the head strikes a steering wheel, dashboard, or window. These injuries may not be immediately apparent but can cause long-lasting symptoms such as memory loss, dizziness, and fatigue.
- Broken Bones: Arms, legs, ribs, and hips are all commonly fractured in car accidents. These injuries often require casting or surgical intervention and can take weeks or even months to heal fully. In more serious cases, recovery may involve physical therapy.
- Soft Tissue Injuries: Strains, sprains, and deep bruises affect muscles, tendons, and ligaments. These injuries can limit mobility and lead to chronic pain. Victims may require a combination of rest, physical therapy, and medication for relief.
- Internal Injuries: High-impact crashes can cause damage to organs such as the lungs, liver, or spleen. These are serious, sometimes life-threatening injuries that may not show symptoms right away. Prompt medical attention is essential.
- Psychological Trauma: Emotional effects such as anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder are also common after a serious accident. Mental health support is often needed to help victims cope with the aftermath.
