INSURANCE COVERAGE, A GREAT SUPPORT FOR VICTIMS OF A TRAFFIC ACCIDENT

INSURANCE COVERAGE, A GREAT SUPPORT FOR VICTIMS OF A TRAFFIC ACCIDENT

Today is the day of remembrance for the victims of traffic accidents. If there is one day that makes good sense, this is it. In fact, it makes a lot more sense than you believe. Due to the fact that if one thing is discovered when working with insurance figures, it is that the victims of traffic mishaps are even more than we picture, or than we see in the normal stats.

The trick is that the insurance understands all the accident victims since it likewise 

compensates them all. Our legislation, European and regional, is made in such a way that there is not a single person affected by a traffic accident who does not get the compensation to which they are entitled. This makes, naturally, that every accident victim, at some point, goes through the hands of at least one insurance provider. This is why we know, much better than anybody, the true magnitude of accident victims. With figures from 2019, and at our existing level of knowledge, that figure is 293,318 individuals.

As is sensible, the large bulk of this group, some 232,000 individuals, is comprised of people we call short-term injured; individuals who invest a different variety of days of rest depending upon the case but who, at the end of the very same, heals. In the next step are the victims with sequelae, about 60,000, who are the people who suffer some long-term bodily consequence that, therefore, the days of healing do not manage to resolve or not entirely. Lastly, at the unfortunate top of the pyramid, there are about 1,000 individuals, who are all the deceased compensated by the insurance coverage. The overall variety of victims is a little higher due to the fact that you have to consider the people that the insurance does not compensate for being the cause of the accident. But all these data can provide you an idea of the magnitude of the damage to individuals in traffic accidents.

On a day like today, in any case, we wish to dedicate memory to other victims who are not in this statistic: the family members of the deceased. They suffer permanent loss for the rest of their lives. In 2019 it is approximated that there were about 4,150 people who were harmed by deaths in mishaps. This gives you a figure to keep: everyone eliminated in a traffic accident leaves four family members.

The most regular death in a traffic accident leaves behind two moms and dads and a brother, the second most frequent combination being a partner and two kids, and the third two moms and dads and 2 siblings. In fact, 35% of the people who will need to bear the loss of the deceased are his brothers; it is the most typical relationship, followed by children (a third) and moms and dads (17%).

They also should have a memory. And fighting traffic mishaps is likewise battling to reduce your discomfort.
