Becoming the victim of a car crash can happen to anyone these days from film stars to schoolchildren. With more and more vehicles on the road, collisions are ever more likely but, fortunately, the number of deaths and serious injuries in the UK as a result of road traffic accidents is falling.
When a known personality, such as an actress, an MP or a top footballer, has a car accident then the information and photos will be all over the newspapers for a few days. Even if he or she has only been involved in a shunt or small bump in a car park, it is likely to be reported in great detail.
There have been high profile road deaths, such as that of Diana, Princess of Wales, who might well have survived the Paris car crash which killed her and her companion Dodi Fayed if she had been wearing a seat belt, but fatal accidents to celebrities are few and far between.
In contrast, the 'ordinary' 27,000 people killed, or seriously injured, in road accidents every year may not have the circumstances of their situation splashed all over the papers but each one is a person with family, friends and colleagues who will all be affected by the consequences of the incident.
Those whose fame and fortune has put them in the public eye usually have employees, personal assistants or agents, who can represent them if need be after an accident but everyone else has to rely on those close to them to help cope with the aftermath of the collision.
Even in a vehicle crash which only incurs injury such as whiplash, there are practical details to be considered in the aftermath.
The police usually help with clearing debris from a road and liaise with a garage but the driver's insurance company will need to be informed immediately and information gathered about other people involved in the incident so that, if necessary, a claim can be made for damages and perhaps a replacement vehicle organised.
Parents who are injured may not be able to look after their children or carers of elderly relatives may need to make arrangements for extra help until their health is restored.
Self-employed workers will be particularly hard hit if they suffer disabling injuries and contract employees may find themselves out of a job after recovering from a crash.
In all these circumstances ordinary people will suffer practically and financially from a car crash far more severely than a so-called celebrity. Although insurance can cover some of the unexpected outgoings, if the accident was not the fault of victim or even only partly so, it is reasonable to expect recompense from the person who was liable.
