A car accident is a very disruptive event for most people. A damaged vehicle may mean you cannot get to work, grocery shop, take your kids to school or sporting events, and so on. Injuries may mean you are unable to work, hence unable to support yourself or your family due to lost wages. And not only are you missing income because you are unable to work, but you now have unexpected debts for medical treatment, sometimes in the tens of thousands of dollars. Dealing with all of these challenges at once can feel overwhelming, particularly if you have never been involved in an accident before. If the at-fault driver had insurance, you are probably dealing with requests for information from the insurance company too.
