Man Seeks $50K Following Automobile Accident
According to a report on medisonrecord.com, an Illinois man is seeking $50,000 following an automobile accident in which he suffered severe injuries. Brian Sabatino, the driver of the vehicle that was struck, is suing Ann W. Behne arguing that Behne crossed dividing line traveling in the opposite direction of the roadway he was on and struck his vehicle.
Sabatino argues Behne was negligent in maintaining control of her vehicle including its speed and her ability to operate the vehicle. Sabatino claims he has lost wages, has become disabled and incurred pain and suffering as a result of the accident.
Head-on traffic accidents can often lead to very serious injuries. There is no information on what specific injuries Sabatino suffered in this incident but in any head-on accident, the victim can suffer severe neck and back trauma or even fatality. By reconstructing the events of the accident, investigators would be able to determine whether or not Behne was actually at fault for the accident as Sabatino claims. Many factors go into the decision on the amount of damages a victim receives including the severity of the injuries and the severity of the accident itself. In addition, the victim’s inability to work and as a result, lose wages is also taken into consideration. This incident demonstrates the ease of which an automobile accident can occur and the fact that victims can easily suffer serious injuries, especially in a head-on collision.
