Common Injuries After Conroe Car Accidents

Not all injuries show up at the scene. Some take time to appear—days or even weeks. And some don't produce pain until your body starts adjusting to the trauma.

At Pierce Skrabanek, we've helped clients in Conroe recover from:

• Soft tissue injuries and muscular strain. Injuries like whiplash or shoulder trauma may not be visible on an x-ray but can cause limited mobility, chronic discomfort, or inability to handle work tasks.
• Fractures and broken bones. Car crashes commonly lead to broken ribs, wrists, ankles, or hips. These injuries may require surgery, pins, or months of therapy.
• Spinal injuries. Even a "minor" wreck can aggravate a bulging disc, herniation, or nerve damage, leading to movement limitations and costly ongoing treatment.
• Traumatic brain injuries (TBI). You don't have to lose consciousness or hit your head directly to suffer a concussion. Any brain injury deserves careful medical follow-up and thorough documentation.
• Internal injuries. The force of a crash can cause trauma to the organs—resulting in internal bleeding, punctured lungs, or other complications that need immediate care.
• Visible injuries and disfigurement. Burns, lacerations, and facial injuries caused by airbag deployment or glass can leave physical reminders of the crash, along with emotional ones.

A Conroe car accident attorney serves as a point of coordination. We work closely with your healthcare providers to ensure that injuries are properly linked to the crash and create a clear timeline of pain, treatment, and progress.

Emotional and Mental Health After a Crash: What's Not on the Imaging Results

Recovery isn't just physical. After a serious collision, many clients describe emotional effects that last much longer than soreness or bruising.

People come to us with:

• Panic attacks or flashbacks when driving,
• Trouble focusing at work or school,
• Avoidance of certain intersections or routes,
• Recurring nightmares about the crash, and
• Personality changes or mood swings.

This kind of trauma isn't often reflected in ER records. But it's real, and it matters. Through counseling records, psych evaluation, or even testimony from family members or coworkers, we show the full impact of the wreck and seek damages that reflect it.

You Didn't Ask for This Wreck. You Shouldn't Be the One Paying for It.

The other driver may hand off their insurance info and walk away without a scratch. Meanwhile, you're facing weeks of missed work, fighting through therapy, and keeping up with every appointment they recommend just to prove you're actually in pain.

We file claims that reflect the actual cost of your recovery.

What Can a Conroe Auto Accident Lawyer Help You Recover?

A successful personal injury claim recovers damages for everything the crash has taken from you—physically, financially, and mentally.

We pursue compensation for the following:

• Medical expenses. This includes ambulance transport, scans, hospital stays, follow-up care, therapy, and prescriptions. Future medical needs, such as surgical intervention, injections, or revisits, may also be included in your claim.
• Lost income. This includes wages missed due to hospital visits, time off work for recovery, or job losses resulting from permanent limitations.
• Pain and suffering. Not everything is quantifiable. But Texas law allows you to recover for chronic pain, loss of enjoyment, anxiety, and other intangible losses that alter your quality of life.
• Damage to your vehicle. We help clients pursue repair estimates, depreciation claims, or full-value claims when the car is totaled.
• Wrongful death damages. In fatal crash cases, surviving family members may seek compensation for lost future income, medical expenses, funeral costs, and the irreplaceable loss of a loved one.

Every case is different. But when appropriately calculated, a claim should mirror what you've lived through, not what an insurance adjuster considers "average." 

We Don't Settle for Less Than What Clients Deserve

Insurance isn't designed to be generous—it's designed to get you to settle. Our reputation for trial readiness gives us a competitive advantage that most firms can't match.

$117 Million Jury Verdict—Ambulance Crash Victim

A young mother suffered life-altering injuries when a negligently operated ambulance slammed into her car. Our firm secured a jury award that will cover her lifetime care needs.

$2 Million Jury Verdict—Car Collision in Texas

We served as trial counsel in a case where the insurance company offered less than $400,000. A jury returned five times that amount.

These results reflect what is possible when a case is properly prepared from the outset. According to a Martindale-Nolo consumer study, people injured in car accidents who hired a lawyer received nearly 3.5 times more in compensation compared to those who handled claims on their own.

That difference isn't just about money. It reflects deeper investigations, stronger documentation, and fewer mistakes early on that cost people later.

"Most people we talk to feel ignored. They know what they're going through, but the insurer doesn't listen. That stops with us. We give them a voice, and we make sure it's heard."

What Should You Do After a Wreck in Conroe?

Here's what we recommend immediately following an accident, whether it just happened or took place days ago:

1. Seek medical attention. Even light tenderness or delayed discomfort should be evaluated. Your body doesn't always react right away.
2. File or request the police report. You can do this through the Conroe Police Department or DPS. Reports often include observations, statements, and evidence that may fade over time.
3. Document what you can. Photos of the car, your injuries, license plates, and weather or road conditions can preserve key evidence.
4. Be cautious in insurance calls. Insurance representatives may seem friendly but are trained to gather statements they can use later to limit your claim.
5. Contact a Conroe auto accident attorney before settling. Once you sign their offer, your case is closed for good. There's no "redo" if treatment continues or damages rise.
