Motor Vehicle Accidents
In the blink of an eye, your life may change forever.
A careless act by another driver may result in profound injury -- a traumatic brain injury, a spinal cord injury, amputation, paralysis -- or even death.
These serious injuries may also result in significant medical bills and loss of your job.
Each year more than 30,000 Minnesotans are injured in traffic accidents. Most traffic accidents occur in good weather and under good driving conditions. This means that most traffic accidents occur because of human or driver error. According to the Minnesota Department of Public Safety (MDPS), most traffic accidents can be prevented. This is why MDPS uses the term "crash" rather than "accident". See Minnesota Motor Vehicle Crash Facts 2010 at 1.
