Aversa & Linn represents drivers, passengers, pedestrians and cyclists who have been injured in a vehicle accident caused by someone’s negligence or reckless behavior.
Government and insurance industry statistics demonstrate that car accidents in the US have both significant health and economic impacts. Each year:
- 5 million accidents are reported to police
- 1 million of the reported accidents result in injuries requiring medical attention.
- The remainder of the reported accidents – about 4 million – cause property damage only.
- 35,000 people die in vehicle accidents.
- The healthcare costs and productivity losses associated with vehicle accidents total $100 billion.
