Common Injuries in Car Accidents
Even crashes that appear minor can cause serious, lasting injuries. Insurance companies often try to use low-speed impact to minimize your claim — but the science doesn't support that. Here are the injuries we commonly see:
The most common result of rear-end collisions — often dismissed by insurers but genuinely debilitating.
Impact forces compress spinal discs, causing chronic pain, numbness, and mobility limitations.
Head impacts — even without direct contact — can cause concussions and long-term cognitive effects.
Arms, legs, ribs, and facial bones commonly fracture in side-impact and head-on collisions.
Blunt force trauma can rupture organs without external signs — always seek immediate medical evaluation.
High-impact crashes can cause partial or complete paralysis — life-altering and requiring enormous lifetime care.
Fire, airbag deployment, and chemical leaks can cause severe burns requiring surgical treatment.
PTSD, anxiety, and depression after a traumatic crash are real, compensable damages.
What Compensation Can You Recover?
Texas law allows injured car accident victims to pursue two categories of damages:
- Emergency room and hospital bills
- Ongoing medical treatment and therapy
- Future medical costs and care
- Lost wages during recovery
- Reduced future earning capacity
- Vehicle repair or replacement
- Out-of-pocket expenses related to your injury
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Disfigurement or permanent scarring
- Loss of consortium (impact on relationships)
- Mental anguish
- Permanent disability or impairment
In cases involving egregious negligence — a drunk driver, a company that ignored safety violations — Texas courts may also award punitive (exemplary) damages to punish the at-fault party.
What to Do After a Car Accident
A police report is critical evidence. Never leave the scene without one, even in minor accidents.
Even if you feel fine, injuries often don't surface for hours or days. A medical record created the same day ties your injuries to the crash.
Photos of damage, the other vehicle, road conditions, traffic signals, and any visible injuries. Get contact info from witnesses.
Even saying "I'm sorry" can be used against you. Let the investigation determine what happened.
Insurance adjusters are trained to use your own words to reduce your payout. Decline and call us first.

Texas Car Accident Law: What You Need to Know
Texas follows a "modified comparative fault" rule. If you are found partially at fault for the accident, your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault. However, if you are found 51% or more at fault, you cannot recover anything.
This is exactly why insurance companies try so hard to shift blame onto the injured party. George Oginni builds cases that establish clear liability — protecting your right to full recovery.
In Texas, you generally have 2 years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. Missing this deadline almost always means losing your right to recover entirely. Don't wait — call today.

Every case is different. Actual recovery depends on the facts — but here is what we fight for.
