On their road to recovery, auto accident victims may endure a number of hardships. Sometimes, the consequences of a car accident can interfere with professional personal lives from a long-term point of view. For example, someone may need to work in a lower-paying field due to a permanent disability, or they may encounter problems in their marriage because of the ways in which the crash changed their lives. Furthermore, some people may struggle with other hardships due to a car accident, such as developing a drug addiction.
