A woman and a man living in St. Clair County, Michigan recently filed separate lawsuits against a negligent driver who crashed into their vehicle – causing them disfigurement, disability, and a diminished earning capacity.
The car the victims rode in was traveling south on Union Hill Road in late April. As it approached an intersection, another vehicle appeared and failed to yield, resulting in a severe car accident that left both individuals disfigured and in need of intensive medical care. Both lawsuits claim that the accident was due to recklessness and negligence on the part of the driver, who “failed to keep a proper lookout,” failed to brake, and failed to reduce his speed in order to avoid a collision.
Each suit seeks a judgment of more than $50,000 – plus costs and any other form of relief the court deems just – in order to cover medical costs and the “pain and mental anguish” caused by the victims’ respective disfigurements.
When an accident occurs, sometimes the personal injury sustained by a party goes far beyond what is treatable. Disfigurement affects your personal and professional life in unalterable ways, often leading to depression and psychosocial problems. It can seem impossible to go back to life the way it once was.
