Car Accidents
According to the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration, approximately 40,000 people die in motor vehicle accidents each year. Many more are severely injured as a result of someone else’s negligence. Common injuries in car accidents include brain injury, neck injury, spinal cord damage, broken bones, or even death. Whether the injured person was a driver, passenger, or pedestrian, the resulting injuries are life-altering. Additionally, the cost of living for an injured party can quickly rise after an accident; conversely, the party’s income typically declines.
