Catastrophic Accidents

Car Accident Lawyers – Catastrophic Brain Injuries, Burns, Paralysis, Broken Bones, Spinal Cord Injuries

Collisions between commercial trucks and private automobiles happen daily. Every morning you can open the newspaper, read the news online, or watch television and you will hear of a catastrophic collision that severely injured or killed someone in your city, county, or state. The vehicles and trucks crash into each other, motorcycles, or run over a pedestrian walking, jogging, or riding a bike. If not fatal, these collisions often result catastrophic injuries, dismemberments, brain injuries, broken bones, spinal injuries, and burns.
The frequency of these types of injuries is alarming. The personal injury attorneys at the Vogel Law Firm understand that this type of injury results in outstanding medical expenses, lost wages, lost future earning capacity, and an extreme amount of pain, suffering, and the general loss of enjoyment in life, among other things. Securing the help of our personal injury team will assist you in recovering for these losses and to the full extent possible, secure your future as you recover from injuries that were not your fault.

Distracted driving, aggressive driving, inattentive driving, driving too fast for the existing conditions, and driving while under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol are often found as causes for the resulting catastrophic injuries in motor vehicle crashes. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), nationally 324,652 people were hurt in distracted driving crashes in 2020 alone. The NHTSA has also calculated that in any given year, approximately 587 pedestrian and bicycle operators are killed in the United States because of distracted drivers. According to The National Safety Council, in 2021, large trucks were involved in 5,700 fatal crashes, killing 5,788 people. This is a 47% increase in fatalities over the preceding 10 years. In 2021, large trucks were also involved in 117,300 crashes injuring 155,000 people. Of this number, 71% of the injuries predictably involved occupants of the “other vehicle.”
