The trip was supposed to be simple.
After an hour long workout at the gym you were simply making the trip home to shower and make dinner. The same trip that you took several times a week; multiple times a month; hundreds of times a year. On this one trip, however, nothing was normal.
The driver ran through the light and the resulting accident changed most of what you consider normal. Most of what you consider simple. The legal team for the careless driver knew what he was doing, but you failed to get the best advice. After settling for a small settlement you were left with bills from doctors, bills from physical therapists, and bills from chiropractors. You are finding your way out of the mess, but things really could have been much simpler if you would have had a legal team who put your best interests first.
Personal Injury Attorneys Can Help You Anticipate the Future Costs of Getting Past an Accident
Did you know that drunk driving costs the U.S. as much as $199 billion a year. In addition to the financial costs, however, is the additional emotional expense that can come with a life of pain and recovery. The decision to seek the help of a legal team can help you make the transition from a difficult life of doctor’s appointments and lost work to having the financial help that you need for the future problems that you will incur.
When the victim does not take the time to at least get the legal advice of an accident attorney, he or she risks a litany of problems that can result in financial problems that can take a lifetime to recover from. Statistics from 2013 indicate that 3,154 people were killed in motor vehicle crashes involving distracted drivers. Additionally, 424,000 people were injured in motor vehicle crashes involving distracted drivers. The latest research shows that five seconds is the average time a driver’s eyes are off the road whenever they are texting. When traveling at 55mph, this means that this is enough time to cover the length of a football field. Unfortunately, that distance is being traveled blindfolded.
If you want to make sure that you are not blindsided by an accident, make sure that you seek legal advice.
