Car crashes lead to serious injuries and fatalities every year. In the first half of 2023, 19,515 people died on the roads in the U.S. according to estimates by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

According to the National Safety Council, around 5.4 million people seek medical attention for injuries suffered in motor vehicle accidents every year. In 2020 the average claim for injuries for those involved in crashes was more than $20,235, due partially to increasing medical costs.

Among the serious injuries caused by car accidents is renal trauma. The results of these injuries can be life-threatening or life-altering, such as internal bleeding, kidney failure, and lifelong medical treatment.
