Children Injured in Car Accidents

How Texas Children Are Injured in Car Accidents

Did you know driver behavior is the top cause of serious car accidents and automobile-related fatalities in Texas? According to a recent report from the Texas Department of Transportation, reckless driving, including speeding and drunk driving, is the primary culprit. Sadly, those preventable actions caused injuries in car accidents for approximately 183,000 children in a single year, per a recent report from the National Highway Traffic Safety Commission. This is unacceptable.

Spinal injuries that can lead to paraplegia or quadriplegia
Punctured organs and other internal injuries
Broken bones and/or torn ligaments
