A serious car accident can leave people with substantial medical bills, lost income, and a long recovery. When the driver responsible for the crash is uninsured or underinsured, the financial consequences can be even harder to manage.
The Accident Guys established the Victim Fund to help eligible, low-income accident victims who have sustained substantial injuries and cannot afford their medical expenses. The fund also assists families with funeral costs following a fatal car accident.
For five consecutive years, The Accident Guys has held Thanksgiving turkey giveaways, with the effort now reaching families across multiple states. The team also works directly with local food banks.
The firm partners with Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) and supports community fundraisers for families dealing with the aftermath of a fatal accident.
The Victim Fund extends that community involvement by providing financial assistance to eligible people injured by uninsured or underinsured drivers and to families facing funeral expenses after a fatal crash.
The fund is overseen by a board whose members bring experience in personal injury law, client relations, business, marketing, and medicine.
