Common Injuries Caused by Car Accidents

Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI): A traumatic brain injury can cause death, and they kill almost 50,000 people each year. Car accidents are a primary cause of TBI, and when a victim doesn’t die from the injury, they are left with a lifelong disability.
Back & Spinal Cord Injury: When a car impacts another vehicle or stationary object, the effect on the body is tremendous. It can lead to spinal cord and back injuries ranging from paralysis to chronic pain and disability.
Soft Tissue Damage: Your skin is strong, but when it encounters asphalt, shrapnel, chemicals, hot liquids, or gas from a car accident, it can lead to burns, scraps, and lacerations. Burns and chemical damage can require intensive medical care.
Broken Bones & Limb Loss: A car traveling at high speeds can leave a driver or passenger at risk of severe injury to arms and legs upon impact with another object. Legs can be broken, severed, or crushed beyond repair, requiring amputation.
Neck, Seatbelt, & Airbag Injuries: One of the most common injuries stemming from a car accident is the harsh slamming action caused by engaging automobile brakes to stop a vehicle. Whiplash is a neck injury affecting the tendons. Whiplash can happen if at lower rates of speed. Airbags travel upwards of 100 mph when deploying, and seatbelts can snap into action to save your life, causing severe bruising. A driver or passenger can receive serious damage from these lifesaving measures.
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder: When we think of a car accident, we think of physical health primarily. However, studies have shown that drivers experience mental anguish and lasting mental health issues in serious car accidents. Drivers may experience debilitating fear and worry when in a vehicle, requiring mental health treatment.

Leading Causes of Car Accidents in Denton and the DFW Area

The Texas Department of Transportation (TXDOT) reported over 350,000 crashes in 2020. According to TXDOT, 2021 was the second deadliest year to drive on Texas records since they’ve started keeping records. While the uptick of fatalities is in step with national trends, Texas fatalities increased 15% year over year. To tackle car accident injuries and fatalities, safety experts continue to stress the importance of encouraging good driving habits while discouraging many of the bad habits that have increased over time.

Car accidents are typically caused by poor driving habits, such as:

Speeding
Reckless lane changes
Failure to stay in one lane
Tailgating
Dangerous left-hand turns
Failure to obey stop signs and signals
Loss of control while traveling at high speeds

While poor and impatient driving habits are very common and a typical cause of car crashes, some of the most damaging and fatal car crashes are caused by only a few issues:

Reckless Driving: Driving at high speeds while ignoring stop signs and driving conventions is a common cause of fatal car accidents. Reckless drivers operate their vehicles on roadways with little concern for other drivers, which is in opposition to the duty of care each driver is required to afford to one another.
Distracted Driving: One of the major contributors to fatal car accidents in Texas is distracted driving. TXDOT researchers found that 20% of all crashes are caused by driver distraction. While mobile phone use is prohibited while driving, laws have not led to the decrease in crashes safety experts hoped for and expected.
Impaired Driving: Operating a motor vehicle while impaired is a serious problem that hasn’t changed over the years and continues to be a large source of severe injury for drivers and passengers. DUI-related crashes account for 25% of fatal crashes in Texas. When these crashes do not end in death, they can still cause life-threatening injuries.
