Car Accidents in Texas
Texas continues to report some of the highest numbers of vehicle accidents in the nation. According to the Texas Department of Transportation, in 2023, there was at least one crash-related injury every 2 minutes and 9 seconds across the state. With high-speed interstates and increasing traffic volumes, injury-causing collisions remain a serious public concern in both rural and urban areas of Texas.
To help our readers better understand what might follow a serious accident like this, here are some key facts about common injuries sustained in Texas car accidents:
- Whiplash and Neck Injuries: These are among the most common injuries, particularly in rear-end crashes. Symptoms like stiffness, dizziness, and headaches may not show up immediately. Medical evaluation is crucial, even if the pain appears mild at first.
- Back and Spinal Cord Trauma: Spinal injuries can range from minor disc problems to life-altering paralysis. These injuries often require long-term physical therapy and, in severe cases, surgical intervention.
- Fractures and Broken Bones: The impact of a crash can cause arms, legs, ribs, or hips to fracture. Recovery may involve casting, surgery, and lengthy rehabilitation depending on the severity and location of the break.
- Internal Bleeding and Organ Damage: Not all injuries are visible. Collisions may cause internal trauma that isn’t immediately apparent. Rapid diagnosis and treatment are necessary to prevent long-term complications or death.
- Head Injuries and Concussions: Even with airbags, traumatic brain injuries and concussions are common. These injuries can lead to memory loss, difficulty concentrating, and mood disorders, sometimes with permanent effects.
