In a recent year, more than 3,100 people were killed and 424,000 were hurt due to distracted-driving accidents.

The roads can be a dangerous place, and there is only so much that you can do to prevent a serious crash from taking place. Even the safest drivers can still be hurt due to the actions of a reckless motorist. You always need to seek medical treatment after a crash to make sure you are not seriously hurt. Adrenaline will course through your veins, giving the sensation that you were not damaged in the impact. However, you may later learn that your injuries were more severe than you thought.
