Common Injuries in Texas Car Accidents

A motor vehicle collision can happen in an instant, but its effects may be felt for months or even years to come. In many cases, accident victims struggle to recover, and they can experience a great deal of difficulty as they seek medical care, determine how their ability to work will be affected, and address the pain and emotional trauma that they are experiencing. Multiple types of serious injuries can impact a person and their family, including:

  • Whiplash - A sudden impact in a collision can cause a person's neck to make sudden back-and-forth movements that may strain and damage muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Whiplash injuries from a car wreck can take a great deal of time to heal, and they can impact a person's ability to work and live while recovering.
  • Spinal cord injury - Car accidents account for almost half of all spinal cord injuries that take place in the United States each year. These injuries can affect a person's strength, and they may limit sensation and mobility below the affected area. If nerves in the spinal cord are damaged or severed, this can result in partial or total paralysis, including paraplegia or quadriplegia.
  • Broken bones - Wrists, ribs, ankles, arms, and legs are all parts of the body that may experience an injury from the impact of a car wreck. If parts of the body are crushed in a collision, this may result in severe fractures that may require surgery or that may permanently limit a person's ability to use the parts of the body that were affected. If fractures are not immediately apparent, an accident victim should seek medical help should as soon as possible after noticing deformities or a lack of reduction in swelling.
  • Cuts and burns - In a car accident, broken glass, loose objects, seat belts, airbags, and the impact of a collision can cause multiple types of cuts, scrapes, and burns. Victims will want to document even minor injuries to ensure that they can be fully compensated for all of the ways they have been affected.
  • Dislocations - Car wrecks may result in joint injuries that can be very painful, limiting a person's range of motion and making it difficult to perform daily tasks while recovering. Shoulder dislocations are most common for adults who are involved in car accidents, but dislocations can occur in multiple other joints, depending on the type of impact, the position of a person's body, and other factors.
