Car Accidents in Texas

Texas experiences a significant number of traffic accidents each year. In 2022, there were over 15,000 serious injury crashes in the state, leading to more than 18,000 people suffering severe injuries. Many accidents occur due to reckless driving, failure to yield, or driver inattention.

Understanding the risks on the road can help drivers stay safer. Here are some common injuries that result from car crashes:

• Whiplash and Neck Injuries – Sudden impacts can cause the head to jerk forward and backward, leading to painful neck strains and long-term discomfort.
• Head Trauma – Even with seat belts and airbags, drivers and passengers may suffer concussions or more severe brain injuries in high-impact crashes.
• Broken Bones – Collisions often cause fractures, particularly in the arms, legs, and ribs, which may require surgery and extensive recovery time.
• Back and Spinal Cord Injuries – Damage to the spine can lead to chronic pain or, in severe cases, paralysis, significantly altering a person’s life.
