Moments of recklessness or negligence on the road can put other drivers at risk and cause avoidable accidents. When circumstances such as these are the cause of an auto accident, the negligent party should be held accountable for the resulting damages. A collision can lead to a wide number of injuries, including minor abrasions, neck and back injuries, and even paralysis. Facing these issues could cause you and your family to be placed under the heavy financial burdens associated with the cost of medical bills, prescription medications, physical therapy, or specialized equipment.
