Common Causes of Car Accident Injuries in Texas
Injuries from minor to potentially fatal can arise from automobile accidents in Texas. You can be more cautious and take the appropriate safety measures if you are aware of the most frequent causes of these injuries.
- Distracted driving is one of the main reasons why people get hurt in auto accidents in Texas. Engaging in activities that take your focus away from the road, such texting, chatting on the phone, eating, or utilizing in-car technology, increases the risk of an accident.
- Another major factor contributing to injuries in auto accidents is speeding. Drivers' reaction times are slowed down and crash severity escalates when they surpass the posted speed limits. Our Killeen attorneys for car accidents frequently deal with situations in which violent collisions result in serious injuries.
- In Texas, driving under the influence (DUI) of drugs or alcohol is a common problem. Drivers with impairments are more likely to be involved in accidents because they have poorer judgment, slower reaction times, and less coordination.
- Car crashes and the injuries they cause are also mostly caused by reckless driving, which includes aggressive driving techniques including tailgating, weaving through traffic, and making frequent lane changes.
- Other weather-related factors that might cause car accidents in Texas include rain, fog, and ice. Roads that are slick and have poor visibility make it challenging for drivers to keep control of their cars.
- Last but not least, running stop signs or red lights is a frequent reason for intersection-related accidents. This behavior frequently stems from distraction or impatience and can result in significant injuries.

Why seek medical attention even though you’re not severely injured?After a crash, some injuries can be more visible and apparent than others. You may notice a large wound or a broken bone right away. However, some injuries aren’t immediately noticeable. For example, the signs and symptoms of a traumatic brain injury may show up days, weeks or even months after a crash and hit you when you least expect it. That’s why seeking immediate medical care can help you or a loved one quickly identify and find the appropriate treatment.
