Car Accidents in Texas
In cities like Dallas, car accidents involving injury calls are common, particularly during high-traffic hours. The Texas Department of Public Safety reports that every two minutes, someone is injured in a crash on Texas roads. These accidents frequently occur near busy intersections or residential areas.
Understanding common reasons for ambulance requests can shed light on the severity of certain crashes:
-
Neck and back pain: These are often delayed injuries that emerge shortly after a crash. Even if not immediately visible, they can indicate serious spinal or muscular trauma.
-
Airbag impact: While airbags save lives, they can cause abrasions, bruising, and even fractures. Drivers often require medical assessment to rule out internal injuries.
-
Chest or abdominal pain: Blunt force trauma from seat belts or steering wheels can cause internal bleeding or organ damage, requiring emergency evaluation.
-
Shock or trauma: Accidents can trigger acute emotional or psychological responses, which can affect breathing, heart rate, or awareness. Medical teams respond not only to physical trauma but also to psychological distress.
-
Head injuries: Concussions or more severe brain trauma are a top concern after any head contact during a crash, even if symptoms appear minor at first.
