Serious injuries caused by accidents in Houston, TX

• Traumatic brain injuries (TBI): This occurs when the brain is damaged due to an injury or a blow to the head. This can result in life-changing injuries that affect someone’s quality of life and ability to work or care for themselves.

• Spinal cord injuries: This type of injury can lead to paralysis. The impact of a crash can even cause long-term disability for victims.

• Back injury: Your spine isn’t made to be able to withstand heavy impact, so back injuries are common in all types of accidents. These injuries can be delayed in showing up after and lead to severe pain and loss of mobility later.
