Car And Motorcycle Accidents Help From Car Accident Attorney

Motor vehicle crash and related injuries with the fatalities cost about 100 billion

USD to the American economy every year; not to mention the loss of man-hours and productivity at work places. In fact a study conducted by the Centers for Disease Control reported that medical expenses in the motor vehicle crash related injuries account to about 17% of the $100 billion, the remaining is accounted to loss of man-hours at work and productivity thereof. This translates to an approximate 500 USD for every licensed US driver. The cost incurred in deaths and other non-fatal injuries for drivers as well as other parties in car and truck accidents cost about $70 billion, and that of motorcycles cost $12 billion, cyclists account $5 billion and pedestrians $10 billion; a whopping money that is!

The researchers at Centers for Disease Control analyzed injury and death data from year 2005 and the fatal injuries that involved motor vehicles which included death of drivers and/or passengers, pedestrians and cyclists summed up to more than $55 billion. Unfortunately it is men that suffered more deaths or injuries than women. And of all teen and young adult drivers accounted to 28 percent of deaths and injuries, and this group has incurred about 31% of total medical expenses. Motor vehicle injuries are also the major cause of deaths among children in America and the number of children dying in road accidents is increasing every year.

The motorcycle drivers/pillions accounted to about 6% of killed and injured in motor vehicle accidents, yet the costs incurred on the motorcyclist accidents was about 12% of the total which is due to need for extensive medical care due to relative severity of the injuries.

According to the CDC study report, majority of deaths and injuries are preventable and also severity of injuries reduced if motorists drive taking some precautions such as wearing seat belts, not driving when drunk, not talking over mobile phone or texting while driving, etc. These precautions save lives and not mere dollars.

It is very likely for an average individual to be involved in a personal injury lawsuit during his life. But few individuals know to seek help of a car accident attorney and have knowledge to assess the credentials of the personal injury lawyer to help them bail out of the litigation.
