Car Accidents in Texas
Car accidents across Texas remain one of the leading causes of injury and emergency room visits each year. In 2023, there was not a single deathless day on Texas roads, highlighting the constant risk drivers face. Thousands of crashes result in serious injuries, leaving many families facing overwhelming circumstances and long-term recovery.
Accidents often change lives in an instant. Here are some common outcomes that many victims endure:
- Long-Term Physical Recovery: Even a seemingly minor crash can result in back, neck, or head injuries that linger. More severe cases may include internal injuries, fractures, or paralysis. Victims may need physical therapy, surgeries, and follow-up appointments that extend for months or years.
- Insurance Delays and Denials: Many crash victims are surprised to find that insurers don’t always act quickly—or fairly. Claims can be underpaid or denied outright, especially if liability is contested. Having legal guidance helps victims push back and pursue full compensation.
- Limited Transportation Options: A damaged or totaled vehicle can leave a person without reliable transportation. For those in rural areas or without easy access to public transit, this can severely impact their ability to work or care for family members.
- Household Stress and Disruption: Injuries and lost wages put stress on the entire household. Missed bills, added responsibilities, and emotional tension can wear on relationships and impact everyone in the home.
