Car Accidents in Texas
Across Texas, car crashes remain a significant concern for families and communities. In 2023, there were more than 15,000 serious injury crashes on Texas roads, according to state data. Thousands of lives are impacted each year, highlighting how dangerous roads can become in a matter of seconds. Every Texan is vulnerable to motor vehicle accidents—whether commuting to work, dropping off kids at school, or running a quick errand.
Understanding the impact of vehicle accidents on children can help families stay prepared:
- Common injuries in child passengers: Young passengers are especially at risk for head injuries, fractures, and internal trauma during crashes due to their physical vulnerability and size. Properly installed child safety seats and booster seats can reduce this risk significantly.
- Emotional trauma after crashes: Children may experience fear, anxiety, or sleep disturbances after witnessing or being involved in a crash. Support from caregivers and counselors can help them process these feelings.
- Medical follow-up is essential: Even minor injuries in children should be followed up with thorough medical evaluations, as symptoms can sometimes develop slowly or be difficult for children to describe.
- Insurance complications for families: When multiple children are injured, insurance coverage can quickly become a challenge. It’s important for families to understand policy limits and file claims appropriately to avoid financial strain.
- Legal guidance for minors’ claims: Children injured in crashes may be entitled to compensation, but these cases often require special handling through guardianship or court approvals. Legal guidance ensures their rights are fully protected.
