Innocent accident victims are shook following a serious car accident. Their world has been turned upside-down.

Who is going to look after the kids while you’re injured?
Who is going to walk the dog, get the groceries or take out the garbage?
How am I going to manage my work obligations?
How am I going to pay my bills?
Who is going to pay for all of the treatment and medication I need?
Who is going to help me fill out the pile of forms which the insurance companies are asking me for?
