There were more than 5.5 million car accidents in the United States in 2009. Although fatalities fell from 33,808 in 2009 to 32,788 in 2010, the lowest level since 1949 thanks to better roadways and improved automobile safety features, more than 1.5 million people were injured. Nearly 27% of drivers have been involved in a car crash in the last five years. In this country, the leading cause of death of people ages 1-34 years is from motor vehicle accidents. Car accidents are listed as the leading cause of physical impairment and disability in the country.
There were 59,164 serious injury crashes in Texas in 2009. These crashes resulted in 80,640 people sustaining serious injuries. The fatality rate on Texas roadways for 2009 was 1.34 deaths per hundred million vehicle miles traveled. One person was killed every 2 hours and 50 minutes. One person was injured every 2 minutes 14 seconds and one reportable crash occurred every 74 seconds.
The head, neck and back are the parts of the body most commonly injured in traffic accidents. Injuries to the neck include whiplash injuries, which are typically not life-threatening but can lead to a prolonged period of partial disability. There are significant economic expenses related to whiplash that have reached 30 billion dollars a year in the United States, including medical care, disability payments, sick leave, and lost productivity. Back injuries can vary from strains and sprains to spinal fractures, and their consequences range from pain to paralysis. The most serious of all head injuries is traumatic brain injury (TBI). TBI symptoms may be mild to severe, but all affect cognitive ability and can have a significant impact on your ability to function.
“I fight for justice in the toughest cases—whether it’s a defective medical device, a catastrophic industrial accident, or standing up for the injured against powerful corporations. Every client deserves a voice, and I’m here to make sure it’s heard.”
Other motor vehicle injuries include lacerations and bone fractures in the arms, legs, hands, fingers, wrists, ankles, feet, hips, knees and shoulders. Rotator cuffs are also a common site of injury. Internal organs may be injured and the spleen, kidneys, liver, intestines, heart and lungs are among the organs at risk. Burns can be some of the most physically painful injuries. They can result in multiple surgeries, scarring, loss of function, and emotional pain.
The symptoms of a motor vehicle accident injury are not always present immediately following the accident. In fact, the delay of symptoms does not rule out serious injury. Injuries from car accidents range from minor injuries, such as bruises and cuts to severe injuries that disrupt or threaten your life. It is important to get medical help immediately after an accident and whenever symptoms appear.
