Auto accidents negatively impact the lives of tens of thousands of people each year in the U.S. At Lipsig, Shapey, Manus & Moverman, P.C., our seasoned personal injury attorneys have represented hundreds of auto accidents victims, and we know how much trauma is inflicted on the individuals and families who have experienced the property loss and injuries that so often accompany auto accidents.

Millions Are Injured in Auto Accidents
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), about two and a half million people are injured in auto accidents every year in the U.S. Shockingly, motor vehicle collisions are the cause of more deaths among children and young adults than any other single cause.

Americans drive millions of miles and spend thousands of hours on the streets, roads and freeways that cover our nation. For the most part, these hours are spent uneventfully. However, about 43,000 Americans die each year in auto accidents - as drivers, passengers, or pedestrians.

The Huge Costs of Auto Accidents
The cost to the nation of all these auto accidents comes to more than $150 billion per year, but the costs to an individual or a family involved in an auto accident can be even more overwhelming. Aside from the cost of repairing an auto, SUV or truck that is damaged in an auto accident, the physical injuries or fatalities can be life-altering:

• Medical bills
• Physical rehabilitation costs
• Lost wages
• Loss of a career
• Job retraining
• Permanent disability
• Disfigurement
• Out-of-pocket expenses
• Long-term care
• Nursing home costs

In cases of fatalities:

• Funeral and burial costs
• Loss of a parent’s guidance
• Loss of a spouse’s or child’s companionship
• Loss of a family member’s income
• Pain and suffering
