Facts About Automobile Accidents

According to both the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) and the national Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), traffic accidents are broken down as follows:

6,000 total accidents per year
3,000,000 claimed injuries per year
42,500 deaths per year
2,000,000 of the claimed injuries result in permanent damage to some part of their body

Every 14 seconds, someone is injured in an automobile accident. Accidents are largely the result of drunk drivers (40%), and speeding (30%). About 3 million people experience whiplash, neck and back injuries. Of these, 1.5 million will recover. Another 600,000 will continue to have long term symptoms and pain, and another 150,000 will become disabled disabled in one way or another as a direct result of the trauma.

15 % of auto accident victims develop serious nerve damage or post traumatic arthriitis. Arthritis can ruin a person's posture by giving them a slumped or hump back appearance. Osteoarthritis can cause the discs in the spine to degenerate and creat scar tissue formation leading to chronic stiffness and the inability to move properly.

FAQs

Car Accidents / Automobile Accidents

I just picked up my car from the body shop and noticed that the replaced rear window was an aftermarket window and not the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) part.  I asked the body shop about it and they said that the insurance company would not approve the OEM part.  Can I make the insurance company pay for the OEM part and get that placed on my car?

I didn't see a doctor for five months after the accident. Now, the insurance company is saying there is a time limit to see a doctor and they won't pay me. Is this true? Is there a time limit to see a doctor?

I have been in a car accident and my doctor [hospital, chiropractor, fill in the _____] does not want me to submit my bills to my health insurance company. Is this a good idea?

I've been in a car wreck and I've received a letter from my own health insurance company demanding that I pay the medical bills back if i get a recovery in my automobile accident case.  Do I really have to pay them back and is that legal? ...

What are the laws about riding a 16 year-old on the back of a pick-up truck here in Georgia?...
