Pedestrian Accidents in Texas
Pedestrian accidents are the cause of hundreds of deaths in Texas every year. Thousands of additional victims are left injured and have to go through extensive medical treatment. Due to the fact that pedestrians do not have much protection during accidents, there is a significant chance that they will be left with injuries that require extensive medical care. Common injuries reported in pedestrian crashes include:
- Broken bones: It is common for victims of pedestrian accidents to suffer broken arms, legs, and even ribs as a result of their accidents. This is due to the fact that these victims are extremely unprotected during accidents and are more vulnerable to suffering significant injuries.
- Internal organ injuries: There is also a chance that victims suffer internal organ injuries in pedestrian accidents. These injuries can affect the lungs, spleen, or even kidneys.
- Spinal cord injuries: Back injuries and injuries to the spine can have a debilitating impact on victims. Unfortunately, spinal cord injuries can result in paralysis and the need for extensive medical care.
