I worked an accident in Chandler this week. A lady pulled out of the Pops Chicken Place into oncoming traffic and was t-boned in the driver side of her vehicle by a pick up going about 60 miles an hour. Her left side took the full force of the impact. She was complaining of left-sided rib, neck and back pain and the left side of her face was bruised and swelling. But she was alert and oriented and did not lose consciousness. Obviously, when someone mentions back pain after an accident like this, you instantly fear the worse. All of a sudden, it becomes so evident why disability insurance is such a good idea. After everything was sorted at the accident, I couldn’t help but think about disability insurance further, although I was wondering how long does long term disability insurance last? I have lots of questions about it, so I’m going to take some time to research it further. You never know what’s around the corner, or in this case, coming out of Pops Chicken Place.

Thankfully, the people in the truck walked away with no injuries. Soon as all the firefighters and paramedics showed up, I left. She was in good hands. This is the second accident I helped at in Chandler and no police ever showed up. Traffic control is needed badly.
Can I just say, for Pete’s sake, slow your butts down on a 4-lane highway when you see wrecked cars all over the road and victims on the ground. People were driving so fast around the accident that debris was literally being blown 6 feet in the air and 10 feet across the road. Scared the holy crap out of me. Not a fear you need when kneeling down on the ground stabilizing a victim’s neck. Come on people. No reason for that. SLOW DOWN!
