Injury Accidents in Chesapeake
An estimated 1,000 people are killed in car accidents throughout the Commonwealth every single year and an additional 65,000 victims will be seriously injured.
Long after the actual accident is over, many victims still suffer from long-term physical issues and psychological trauma. This is especially true if they endured a critical injury such as a traumatic brain injury, bone fractures, and spinal damage.
Even if you make every effort to drive defensively to protect yourself and other drivers, you cannot ensure that others will be as considerate. Sadly, tens of thousands of people are left with debilitating injuries after these accidents. Crashes that are caused by a driver’s negligence can leave victims in harrowing circumstances.
Oftentimes, these victims require medical treatment and ongoing therapy lasting for months or years. As a result, victims may pay tens of thousands of dollars out of their own pockets.
