Car Accidents in Texas
Texas continues to rank among the states with the highest number of serious car accidents. Each year, thousands of people are hospitalized, and many lose their lives in devastating collisions. While many crashes happen on highways, serious incidents can also occur in unexpected places, such as sidewalks, parking lots, or restaurants, just like the recent accident in Southlake.
The Texas Department of Transportation reports that a person is injured in a crash every two minutes statewide. These accidents often result in severe injuries that change victims’ lives. Common injuries include:
- Head injuries such as concussions or traumatic brain injuries.
- Spinal cord damage that can lead to long-term pain or paralysis.
- Chest and abdominal trauma from blunt-force impact.
- Emotional trauma, including anxiety or PTSD.
The aftermath of a major crash can be overwhelming. Victims and families often face mounting hospital bills, missed work, and long recovery periods. Under Texas law, you may be entitled to financial compensation to help with medical expenses, lost income, and pain and suffering.
