Car accidents are one of the leading causes of facial trauma, and the costs of facial damage and disfigurement that can result from car crashes caused by drunk drivers can be tremendous.
In the case of 20-year-old Jacqueline Saburido, a Venezuelan exchange student who survived an accident caused by a drunk driver in Texas, she lost her vision, eyelids, lips, nose, ears, hair, and partial use of her hands when she suffered severe burns after being trapped beneath a smoldering vehicle. She has undergone about 100 procedures at an estimate $5 million in costs and she doesn’t have health insurance.
Although not all car crashes caused by drunk drivers result in facial trauma as profound as Saburido’s, it’s a chilling reminder of the impact an accident with a drunk driver can have, both financially and emotionally. Costs can range drastically, but many injuries to the face are complex enough that they require multiple surgeries, which can mean multiple hospital stays and additional fees.
