There is nothing fun about getting injured in a car accident. Not every driver on the road is cautious. Some people drive their cars as if they are playing bumper cars. Getting injured due to a negligent driver can not only ruin your day but ruin your life. The injuries sustained by a car accident can lead you to a life of pain and frustration. The driver responsible for your pain and suffering should be held accountable. You shouldn’t have to rely on your checkbook or your family members. Our car accident lawyers at the Law Offices of Howard Kornberg are here to help you get the compensation you deserve.
Tragedy Strikes
Car accidents happen at any time of the day, any day of the week. They can happen when you are driving alone or with a group of people. Worse, they can happen when your furry friends are in the car.
It was a Tuesday morning when a van struck a 41-year old woman. She was driving a Ford Escape with six dogs. The van was speeding and hit the woman with five dogs at such a speed that the Ford Escape was thrown into three other cars. Once the police arrived on the scene, it was not looking good for all involved. The 41-year old woman was taken to the hospital where she died because of her injuries. Of the six dogs, only one survived with a significant injury. The van driver survived and was arrested and charged with evading a police officer, DUI, and vehicular manslaughter.
The woman was a local Long Beach dog walker. She was helping clients by taking their pups for a ride. The van struck with such speed that witnesses could barely understand the severity of the situation until the van struck the Ford Escape.
Major to Minor Injury
The woman was the victim of a fatal car accident. Thankfully, not all car accidents result in death, but they almost always result in life-changing circumstances. Injuries common to car accidents include:
- Head Trauma
- Broken Bones
- Lacerations
- Internal Bleeding
- Spinal Cord Injury
- Neck Injury
- Back Injury
- Paralysis
The majority of these injuries can take from weeks to years to recover. The whole time you are recovering, you are more than likely unable to work. This means you will be unable to generate any income. At least, not the same amount of income had the accident not occurred. All the while, your medical bills are increasing.
