You Survived A Deadly Car Crash. Here's Why.


Life flashing before your eyes, you begin your sideways tumble down a rocky embankment. Getting ready to be rammed by an SUV with another vehicle closing in, choices were limited: make one slight correction and roll down what appears to be a 200-foot rocky hill, or get pancaked by two cars, which lessens your chances of survival. So, Plan A it is.

Luckily, you chose correctly, because apart from whiplash and banged up bones, you’re going to survive.

Not everyone reacts to car accidents the same. Some lose cognitive control, some have an uncanny ability to tap into their ‘fight or flight’ instinct quicker than others. You, however, survived because you made a split-second decision, and although you’ll still inevitably hire a Los Angeles car accident attorney, you’re thankful you cheated death.

So, if you’re reading this, but survived what should’ve been a deadly car accident, here are other reasons:

You paid for safety

Today’s technology affords automobile manufacturers the opportunity to implement safety features, such as blind spot detection and air bags in multiple places. Newer features, such as autonomous braking, detect objects large enough to cause damage to vehicles and apply brakes before humans have time to react. Of course, cars with this type of technology cost more, however paying for safety now could save your life later.

Luxury vehicles and sports cars appeal to different tastes, yet without added safety features, your next car accident may be your last action on earth.

Victim escaped quick enough

Not many people survive vehicle explosions. With that said, not all explosions are immediate. If you’ve been rear-ended hard enough, or your gas tank is positioned where side wrecks may significantly damage your gasoline tank, escaping the vehicle as quickly as possible would allow you to survive an agonizing death by explosion. You’ll then probably want to call a Los Angeles car accident attorney.

Victims who can get out of a window and escape from a car getting ready to fall significant distances, too, can often survive a deadly car crash.

Luck. Sheer luck.

Although we can all speculate speed, proximity, weight of at-fault driver’s car in relation to the victim’s car and road conditions, sometimes people survive deadly car crashes out of sheer luck. Sure, they may be badly banged up, but victims who walk away from car crashes they shouldn’t have should walk into a church the next day and thank their higher power.

Survivor’s luck isn’t purchased from Walmart or inherited at birth. It’s a completely random element endowed to a person for the right reasons, at the right times.

Just Remember

Should you survive a deadly car crash, perhaps review your car insurance policy and the type of vehicle you own to make sure both are sufficient, especially if you have children or spouses that would be left behind without a means of survival.

Nonetheless, were all glad you’re alive after your horrific accident, and pray that whomever is responsible for this injustice pays what you deserve.

If you called one car accident attorney Los Angeles residents used when they needed compensation for their injuries, who would it be? Many choose JML Law. Find out why.

How to Seek Compensation in Multiple-Victim Car Accidents?

At a time when reckless and drunken driving has become a widespread issue in Los Angeles, getting hit by a car is no longer something you can only read about in the newspapers.

The driver of the van was said to be at fault for the collision as he ran through a red light shortly before the accident. Just  last month , a Porsche plowed into a group of people in a car show in Idaho, injuring 1...
