Car Accidents in Texas
Major crashes that result in entrapment are among the most severe incidents on Texas roads. According to the Texas Department of Public Safety, collisions requiring extrication are more likely to cause life-threatening injuries because of the force involved and the time it can take to free occupants safely.
It’s important to understand some of the challenges victims often face after these kinds of crashes:
- Severe Orthopedic Injuries: Victims who are trapped often suffer from broken bones and joint damage. Recovery can include multiple surgeries, physical therapy, and a long rehabilitation process.
- Internal Trauma: Crushing injuries can cause significant internal damage that isn’t immediately visible. Quick transport to a hospital is critical for diagnosis and treatment.
- Emotional Distress: Being trapped inside a vehicle can be terrifying and traumatic. Many survivors experience anxiety or post-traumatic stress that requires professional counseling.
- Lengthy Recovery Times: Severe injuries mean victims may miss weeks or months of work, which can put families under financial strain. Legal help is often needed to pursue compensation for lost wages and medical bills.
- Insurance Delays and Disputes: Insurance companies may challenge claims, argue about fault, or offer low settlements. Having legal representation ensures victims are treated fairly.
