Shocking Personal Injury Facts Everyone Needs To Read

 

Most of you will have seen the amount of companies on TV advertising assistance for personal injury cases. We wanted to find out the truth about the situation and hopefully set the record straight. Some of the facts we discovered were incredibly shocking. We’ve listed some of the most interesting ones below, but anyone who wants to know more should take a moment to browse through the attached infographic.

  1. 31,000,000 injuries that require medical attention occur in the US every single year. A staggeringly high percentage of those cases were not the fault of the victim. That means claims are often made for compensation.
  2. 2,000,000 people in the US are hospitalized every year due to their injuries. When that happens, they often obtain medical evidence that can be used to convince a court about the seriousness of the incident.
  3. 52% of all personal injury cases related to car accidents at the current time. Those who are unlucky enough to become involved in a smash stand a good chance of getting the compensation they deserve. That is especially the case if there were witnesses or video evidence on the highways.
  4. 96% of all US personal injury cases are settled before they reach the courts. That is because companies will try to reduce their costs in the best way possible. Often, it makes more sense to settle outside of the courts if there is a lot of evidence. 

We hope you have learned a lot about the personal injury situation in the US from that short post. Just remember, there is a lot more information on the infographic!
