Virginia Commonwealth Multiple-Vehicle Collisions
According to Virginia’s traffic specialists and researchers, over a thousand people are killed annually in auto accidents. What’s more, over 65,000 people have had life-threatening injuries as a result of these tragedies.
The degree of a car accident victim’s injuries will influence whether they will have long-lasting bodily or mental anguish. Those with severe wounds such as traumatic brain injuries, large bone fractures, spinal cord injuries, and other catastrophic wounds are more likely to need long-term medical care. This is due to the fact that victims of severe trauma may be unable to work for weeks, months, or even permanently.
The three most prevalent causes of automobile accidents are speeding, driving while distracted, and driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. No matter how cautiously you drive, you cannot ensure that other motorists will obey traffic laws and act responsibly.
