Fatal crashes can be psychologically and physically traumatic for the loved ones and survivors of these crashes.
The aftermath of a single-vehicle accident extends far beyond property damage. Victims often face:
- Life-altering traumatic injuries requiring extensive rehabilitation
- Psychological trauma, including PTSD and anxiety about driving
- Financial burdens from medical expenses and lost income
- Long-term disability requiring lifestyle adjustments
While it might seem that liability in single-vehicle accidents is straightforward, these cases often involve factors such as potential vehicle defects or mechanical failures, poor road design or maintenance issues with inadequate signage at hazardous locations.
