WHAT HAPPENS IN A COLLISION?

Vehicle accidents are common. In fact, for the latest reporting year in Pennsylvania, we know that there were more than 128,000 crashes. Out of those, we know that there were:

• 1,137 fatalities reported
• More than 80,000 reported injuries
• 4,227 suspected “serious” injuries

A car collision is a traumatic event that can leave victims with various injuries. It is not uncommon for us to represent clients who have experienced one or more of the following injuries as a result of a vehicle collision:

• Traumatic brain injuries/head injuries/concussions
• Spinal cord injuries/paralysis
• Whiplash injuries
• Internal organ damage/internal bleeding
• Broken or dislocated bones
• Severe lacerations or amputations

The most important thing for a victim to do in the aftermath of a crash is to seek medical attention regardless of the injury severity. In some cases, injuries will not show signs and symptoms for hours or days after a crash. Let a doctor make a determination of your situation immediately following a crash.

For major injuries, the medical expenses can become tremendous but are only part of the overall costs. If a victim cannot work due to recovery times or disability, they are going to lose the income they need to support themselves and their families. In many cases, insurance companies do not take these costs into consideration.

Car collisions happen for various reasons, but when another driver’s negligence is responsible for causing injuries, they need to be held accountable.

• 26% of all traffic deaths in Pennsylvania’s latest reporting year were due to alcohol-impaired drivers.
• Drivers distracted by the phone, other electronics, food, cosmetics, or other people are just as dangerous as impaired drivers.
• Many people choose to ignore the speed limits. Speeding is the number one cause of traffic accidents in Pennsylvania.
