Car Wrecks Have Devastating Effects on Victims
Car wrecks can turn lives upside down in an instant. Victims often face severe physical injuries like broken bones, spinal cord injuries, and traumatic brain injuries. The emotional toll caused by these accidents can also lead to anxiety, depression, and PTSD.
Financially, the burden of medical bills and lost wages can be overwhelming, even for well-off families. Speaking of families, they suffer, too, beyond the financial bracket.
The stress of caring for an injured loved one and the potential loss of companionship are just some of the many ways such accidents can make the victims’ lives miserable.
Car Accidents Occur Mostly Because of Negligence
Negligence is a leading cause of car accidents, even here in St. Petersburg. Mind you, negligence takes many forms. That’s why you need a car wreck expert to help determine whether it was indeed a factor in that particular incident.
Just to give you some perspective, some common examples of negligence that could lead to car wrecks include:
- Texting while driving
- Speeding
- Running red lights
- Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
- Failure to signal when changing lanes
- Ignoring stop signs
- Following other vehicles too closely
- Driving recklessly in bad weather
- Failure to maintain their vehicles properly
You May Be Entitled to Compensation
To secure compensation after a car wreck, four key elements must be established. First, you must show that the other driver owed you a duty of care. What this means is that they had a responsibility to drive safely.
Then there is breach, meaning the other driver breached this duty by acting negligently.
Thirdly, causation must be established. This means that the breach you’re claiming directly caused the accident and your injuries.
But that’s not all – you must be able to prove damages. These include but are not limited to medical bills, lost wages and (or) earning potential, and pain and suffering.
