Lewisville Personal Injury Statistics

Car accidents, slip and falls, workplace injuries, and other situations can all cause serious harm. Often, these injuries are preventable. They occur when someone with a duty to use reasonable care to prevent injuries fails to meet this obligation. 

When someone else’s negligence causes harm, an injured person in Texas is entitled to compensation for their injuries. Compensation can cover medical bills, lost wages, and other losses resulting from the injury. When an injury causes death, the family can bring a wrongful death claim.

Car Accidents in Texas

The Texas Department of Transportation (TXDOT) recorded the following car accident statistics in Texas in 2023:

• 4,283 people died in Texas car accidents.
• 18,752 people suffered serious injuries.
• 807 pedestrians were killed when a vehicle struck them.
• 599 motorcyclists died in roadway crashes.
• 105 bicyclists were killed in a collision with a vehicle. 

Some accidents were more serious and deadly than others. In five separate accidents in 2023, six or more people died. 

Denton County has higher rates of accidents and injuries than many surrounding counties. In 2022, 319 people suffered serious injuries in a Denton County car crash. Another 1,187 people suffered mild or moderate injuries. Even minor injuries, however, can cause problems with pain, movement, and basic body functions. Seeking compensation after these injuries is essential.

Workplace Injuries

The US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reports that in 2023, 564 people died as a result of work-related injuries or occupational illnesses in Texas. These deaths included:

• 246 people who died in work-related transportation incidents, like car accidents,
• 92 people who suffered fatal injuries from a trip, slip, or fall at work,
• 86 people who died after coming into contact with something, such as being struck by equipment or materials,
• 71 people who were killed by others committing intentional violence at a workplace,
• 57 people whose exposure to harmful chemicals, extreme temperatures, or other dangerous environments proved fatal, and
• 11 people who died as a result of an explosion or fire at work. 

The Texas Department of Insurance notes that Texas workplaces experience non-fatal injuries at lower rates than the US average. However, Texas workers aren’t immune to injury at work. Thousands of workers experienced work-related injuries and illnesses in 2023 that required medical attention or time away from work to address. Some were injured so badly they could not work again. 

Slip and Fall Accidents and Injuries

Slip and fall accidents are among the top causes of death in Texas workplaces. In 2020, about 15 percent of all work-related deaths resulted from a slip, trip, or fall. 

Slip and fall accidents cause serious injuries outside workplaces as well. Falls are the most common accident that sends people to the emergency room, according to the National Flooring Safety Institute (NFSI). The Texas Department of Insurance estimates that 8.9 million US residents visit emergency rooms each year for injuries related to a slip, trip, or fall. 

Texas law requires businesses to make their premises reasonably safe for visitors. If a business can’t immediately fix a hazard, it must warn visitors about the risk. “Wet floor” signs set out after an employee mops a floor are a common example of a business warning customers about a slip-and-fall risk. 

Common hazards that can cause a slip, trip, or fall include:

• Spills, debris, puddles, and similar messes on floors,
• Broken or uneven flooring,
• Torn, wrinkled, or folded carpeting,
• Uneven or broken steps or floor surfaces,
• Worn or missing treads on steps and stairs,
• Inadequate, broken, or malfunctioning lighting, and
• Broken or missing handrails, especially on steps and ramps. 

Falls can be prevented. If you’re injured in a slip and fall accident in a Lewisville business, talk to an experienced attorney right away. 

Wrongful Death

Fatal car crashes claimed dozens of lives in Denton County, Lewisville, and surrounding cities in 2023, according to the Texas Department of Transportation. Falls are among the most common causes of workplace deaths not only in Texas, but the entire United States. Defective products, dog bites, and other hazards can also cause fatal injuries. 

When a family loses a loved one due to another’s negligence, surviving family members can file a wrongful death claim. A wrongful death claim seeks compensation for the deceased person’s injuries. It also seeks compensation for the survivors’ losses. Speak to an experienced Lewisville injury attorney to learn more about how wrongful death claims proceed in Texas. 

Common Types of Serious Accident Injuries

Any type of accident can cause serious injuries. Some of the most common injuries seen after a serious accident include:

• Head and brain injuries, like concussions, other forms of brain trauma, and facial injuries.
• Spinal cord injuries, which can cause permanent paralysis and other issues,
• Back and neck injuries like whiplash, broken vertebrae, or herniated discs,
• Broken bones, crush injuries, or amputation of the limbs or digits,
• Soft tissue injuries,
• Internal injuries like organ damage and internal bleeding,
• Burn injuries from thermal, chemical, electrical, or friction sources,
• Scarring and disfigurement, or
• Mental and emotional issues, like psychological trauma. 

Many people who suffer a serious accident experience multiple types of injuries. For example, someone injured in a car accident may experience broken bones, a head injury, and internal bleeding or organ damage, as well as other potential injuries. 

Each person’s injuries are specific to their situation. The needs of each person after a crash are specific as well. Speak to an attorney to learn more about how a personal injury case may compensate you for your injuries. 

Bringing a Personal Injury Claim in Lewisville

In a personal injury claim, an injured person seeks compensation for the losses they suffered in an accident. Texas law and court rules set guidelines for how these claims proceed. 

Each personal injury case has a unique set of facts, and proving your case requires skilled insights, experience, and the dedication of a committed law firm to back you up. 

Time Limits on Lewisville Personal Injury Cases

Texas law sets a two-year time limit on filing personal injury claims. This two-year window begins on the date of the injury in most cases. A personal injury claim must be filed within the two-year time limit, or it cannot be heard in court.

Some exceptions exist, but they are narrow. Speak to an attorney as soon as possible to preserve your opportunity to file or to understand your options if the deadline has passed. 

Compensation in Lewisville Personal Injury Cases

Compensation in a personal injury case comes in several forms, including economic, non-economic, and punitive damages. 

Economic damages compensate you for financial losses. These losses are usually proved in court with paperwork like bills, receipts, invoices, or bank statements. Common economic losses include medical bills, lost wages, and the cost to repair or replace damaged property.

You can also seek compensation for future economic losses. For instance, if your injuries will require medical care for the rest of your life, you can seek compensation for future medical costs. You can also seek compensation for future lost wages if your injuries prevent you from ever working again. 

Non-economic damages compensate you for losses that are harder to prove with paperwork. Your conscious pain and suffering, emotional anguish, and the loss of hobbies or activities you once enjoyed are all examples of non-economic damages.

In some cases, punitive damages are also available. Punitive damages seek to punish a negligent or reckless person or company for the harm they caused. These damages are typically available only in cases where the injuries resulted from particularly egregious or outrageous behavior. Speak to an attorney to learn more about punitive damages and whether they apply in your situation.
