Car Accidents in Texas
Each year, thousands of individuals in Texas are injured in traffic accidents due to various causes, including driver error, vehicle malfunctions, and road conditions. According to data from the Texas Department of Transportation, more than 19,000 serious injury crashes occurred statewide in 2022. This highlights how frequently accidents happen and the importance of road safety.
Vehicle collisions can lead to serious injuries, property damage, and emotional distress for those involved. Here are some common injuries sustained in car accidents:
- Whiplash and Neck Injuries: These are among the most common injuries caused by rear-end collisions. The rapid back-and-forth motion of the neck can lead to pain, stiffness, and limited mobility.
- Broken Bones: High-impact crashes often result in fractures, particularly in the arms, legs, ribs, or pelvis. Recovery may involve surgery and extensive rehabilitation.
- Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI): Head injuries can range from mild concussions to severe TBIs, which may cause long-term cognitive and physical impairments.
- Soft Tissue Injuries: Sprains, strains, and bruises are frequent injuries that can still cause significant discomfort and require medical care.
- Internal Injuries: The force of a collision may cause damage to internal organs, which can be life-threatening without immediate medical attention.
