2020 is shaping up to be the worst year for catastrophic injuries in the last decade.
So far this year, injury claims have doubled, according to MPI. Since the start of the year up until the end of July, a total of 18 serious injury (quadriplegic, paraplegic, and/or brain injury) claims were opened with MPI.
In July alone, 9 serious injury claims were opened.
It’s reported that the majority of serious and catastrophic injuries take place on rural roadways, where speed limits are typically higher, increasing the severity of the crash.
Last year set the record for the worst year in the decade with a total of 23 claims opened.
