Car Accidents in Texas

Texas continues to lead the nation in motor vehicle-related injuries. Each year, tens of thousands of people are hurt in crashes across the state. According to the Texas Department of Transportation, there was not a single day in 2023 without at least one fatal crash on Texas roadways, a somber statistic that underscores how common and serious these incidents are.

To better understand the lasting effects of car accidents, here’s a closer look at some common long-term injuries survivors may face:

• Chronic Back and Neck Pain: Spinal injuries and whiplash can lead to ongoing discomfort. Many people require physical therapy or even surgery and may live with mobility issues for years.

• Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs): TBIs can result in cognitive difficulties, memory loss, and behavioral changes. Some victims face permanent impairment, affecting both personal and professional aspects of life.

• Emotional and Psychological Trauma: Many crash survivors experience PTSD, anxiety, or depression. Mental health support becomes a vital part of the recovery process, especially in severe cases.

• Joint Damage and Restricted Movement: Injuries to knees, shoulders, or hips can cause long-term pain or reduced range of motion. This can significantly impact a person’s quality of life and ability to perform everyday activities.

• Scarring and Disfigurement: Lacerations or burns may result in lasting visible scars. These injuries often carry emotional impacts and may require reconstructive procedures.
