Broken BonesFractures in arms, legs, ribs, or other bones due to the impact of the crash. Severity can range from minor cracks to complex breaks requiring surgery.

Spinal Cord InjuriesDamage to the spinal cord that can lead to partial or complete paralysis. These injuries often have long-term or permanent effects on mobility and sensation.
Soft Tissue InjuriesDamage to muscles, ligaments, and tendons, such as sprains or strains. These injuries can cause pain, swelling, and limited movement.

Speeding accidents in Texas are often caused by drivers exceeding the speed limit, driving too fast for road conditions, or failing to adjust speed during inclement weather.
On average, Texas reports tens of thousands of speeding-related accidents each year. For the most accurate and up-to-date statistics, refer to the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT).
Penalties for speeding in Texas include fines ranging from $25 to $200, court costs, and potential points on your driving record. Excessive speeding can lead to higher penalties, including license suspension.
Speeding contributes to a significant percentage of traffic fatalities in Texas, often accounting for 25-30% of all road deaths, according to TxDOT data.
Speed limits in Texas vary by area: 30 mph in urban areas, 70-75 mph on highways, and up to 85 mph on certain toll roads like SH 130.
Speeding increases the force of impact during a collision, leading to more severe injuries and a higher likelihood of fatalities.
Common types include rear-end collisions, rollovers, and single-vehicle crashes caused by losing control at high speeds.
Weather conditions like rain, fog, or ice can make speeding even more dangerous, as it reduces traction and increases stopping distances.
Urban areas like Houston, Dallas, and Austin, as well as rural highways, often see higher rates of speeding accidents due to traffic density and open road conditions.
Drivers can prevent speeding accidents by obeying speed limits, adjusting speed for road and weather conditions, and staying alert to traffic patterns.
