On your way home from dropping your child off at school, a semitruck slams into your vehicle. You are alive, but you can’t feel anything below your belly button. The paramedics rush to the scene and put you on a hard board and place a neck brace on you. Once you are at the hospital, you find out that you have a spinal cord injury.

The news you are facing is grim. You are paralyzed, but you are going to live. Now, you have to think about how your life will change because of the trucker’s decision to pay attention to his phone instead of his driving.

Rear-ended on your way to work? Here’s what you need to know

It is a common enough occurrence and it was bound to happen to you eventually. You were on your way to the office in rush hour traffic. You came to a stop behind a traffic jam. The car behind you did not. The impact from the vehicle that rear-ended you was hard enough to push you into the car ahead and caused your airbag to deploy.

Now you are dealing with a broken nose, a nasty case of whiplash, and a boss that is not very happy with the time you have to take off from work. On top of that, your brand new sedan looks very similar to an accordion.

Arbitration Clauses

We live in an age where the right to fair compensation is under attack. More often than not, if you have been the victim of negligence, fraud, or breach of contract, your only hope of recovering damages is by selecting an excellent attorney. From the obstacles to filing a lawsuit to caps on the recoverable damages, the odds of success are simply stacked against individuals in favor of large corporations. One tool used by large corporations that is becoming all too common and that can eliminate your constitutional right to an impartial jury claim is an arbitration clause. Unfortunately, these clauses are often hidden underneath pages of fine print in the contract you are asked to sign.
