Car Accidents in Texas

Texas experiences a high volume of motor vehicle accidents annually due to the state's vast roadways and significant population. According to data, Texas averages over 500,000 vehicle crashes per year, with tens of thousands of injuries reported. Many accidents stem from driver errors, such as speeding, distracted driving, or impaired operation.

Accidents can result in a range of injuries that deeply affect victims’ lives. Below are common types of vehicle accident injuries:

• Whiplash and Neck Strains: These soft-tissue injuries are often caused by rear-end collisions. They can lead to long-term pain and restricted movement.
• Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI): Concussions and other brain injuries may occur from direct impacts or violent motion. TBIs can have lasting physical and cognitive effects.
• Spinal Cord Injuries: These are among the most severe and can lead to partial or complete paralysis, requiring extensive medical care and rehabilitation.
• Bone Fractures: Broken bones are common in car accidents, particularly in high-impact crashes. Recovery can require surgery and prolonged therapy.
