Car Accident
When you are walking from store to store, or maybe walking to a restaurant during your lunch break, we know the last thing you think about is getting hurt. You certainly do not plan on a vehicle ending up on the sidewalk with you, upside down after an accident.
Thank goodness nobody was hurt in a crash over the summer that saw a vehicle hit several parked cars before flipping and coming to a stop on the sidewalk in Philadelphia’s Brewerytown section.
The driver of the vehicle was placed into custody and charged with driving under the influence.
While we are thankful nobody was injured or killed, we know this could have been much worse than the property damage which resulted from the crash. The driver of this vehicle made a choice to get behind the wheel, essentially turning himself into a weapon to everyone on and around the roadway.
Let’s look at the latest reporting year statistics for Pennsylvania:
When people think of drunk driving accidents, they usually think of vehicle versus vehicle crashes. We do not want you to forget just how vulnerable other people are when someone is driving drunk.
As opposed to people in a vehicle, these groups have much less protection from the impact of a vehicle.
Injuries from a drunk driving accident can be severe. Often, the person who has been drinking does not even hit the breaks until after the accident, leading to high-speed collisions.
While even minor injuries can mean large medical bills, drunk driving accidents often lead to major injuries like spinal cord and head trauma as well as severe internal organ damage. If you face a long period of recovery and rehabilitation, how will you support your family? What if you are never able to return to work?
Will insurance cover all of your accident-related expenses?
What about any psychological or emotional issues you may encounter in the aftermath of an even this traumatic?
