Car Accidents in Texas
Car accidents happen frequently across Texas, especially in busy cities like El Paso. Intersections such as George Dieter Drive and Pendale Road see heavy traffic throughout the day, making them hotspots for serious collisions. Even a few seconds of inattention can lead to devastating results.
Many crashes occur when drivers ignore traffic signals, follow too closely, or attempt unsafe turns. Others happen because of distraction from cell phones, food, or navigation systems. Speeding and fatigue also remain major causes of severe accidents across the state, increasing both impact force and injury severity.
Injuries from serious car accidents often include:
- Head Injuries: Even a minor head strike can cause a concussion or more severe brain injury.
- Spinal Cord Damage: These injuries can lead to partial or complete paralysis, often requiring long-term rehabilitation.
- Fractures: High-impact crashes frequently cause broken bones that demand surgery and extended recovery.
- Internal Bleeding: Hidden internal injuries can be life-threatening and require immediate emergency care.
These injuries can lead to long hospital stays, months of rehabilitation, and lasting physical and emotional challenges. Victims often face financial strain from medical expenses and time away from work, while their families struggle to adjust to the sudden changes.
