Car crashes are serious events that can impact your life in ways that you haven’t begun to think about. When you are involved in a car accident that isn’t your fault, there is a chance that you will opt to seek compensation for the injures that you suffered. This is something that requires you to think and plan your case carefully.

One thing that usually comes up in these cases is finding out what actually happened. This is sometimes very easy to determine, but it can also be very hard to figure out.

Speed is a factor in some car crashes. In fact, your chance of dying in a car accident increases by double for every 10 mph over 50 that you are traveling.

Would you believe that the damage to the car in an accident all occurs in less than one second? This is exactly what happens, according to the Georgia Paramedics Against Drunk Driving. This is also why wearing your seat belt is so important. Many times, you won’t know that you are going to be in a crash until it is happening, and by that time, it is too late to do anything.

The type of car accident you are in has an impact on the injuries. The most common type of crash is the rear-end crash, but it isn’t the deadliest type of crash. Head-on collisions are the deadliest type of accident that can occur. Side collisions, or T-bones, are the deadliest type of accident that occurs at intersections. Other types of accidents include sideswipes and rollovers, each of which has their own specific dangers.
