Depending on the speed involved, the kind of car they are driving, and where you are hit, you can be severely injured and face tens of thousands of dollars in medical bills as well as loss of wages, and much more. These accidents can have a traumatic impact on a person, forcing them to go through a prolonged rehabilitation. Keeping them away from work, and maybe even leading to several surgeries before they are able to reach a level of recovery.<\/p>\n
