According to the Federal Highway Administration, there were nearly 6,420,000 auto accidents in the United States in 2005. The financial cost of these crashes is more than 230 Billion dollars. 2.9 million people were injured and 42,636 people killed. About 115 people die every day in vehicle crashes in the United States. That’s one death every 13 minutes.
Many important questions arise when you, a child, or a loved one is involved in an Auto Accident. Questions such as:
- Who pays for the car repairs?
- Who pays for the rental car?
- Who pays for the medical bills?
- Should I get a medical examination after the accident?
- How do I know if I have enough insurance?
- How do I know if the other driver has enough insurance?
- Who is at fault?
Sometimes it is hard to determine the exact cause of an auto accident. Defective seat belts, Defective Automobile Designs, defective gas tank, the automobile (car, truck or vehicle) being defective in some other way, or the fault of the other driver can turn a minor auto accident into a very serious auto accident.
