Abstract

Yearly, one in a hundred families in Poland suffers because of road accidents. It affects them not only in material terms but first and foremost in moral terms. Road accidents are one of the main causes of degradation in the quality of life. In Poland we hardly know anything about the fate of the road traffic victims, their life problems connected with their profession, existential problems or difficulties in claiming one's own rights. Beside the obvious difficulties which appear during the administrative procedures, at work, in legal proceedings and insurance processes. Stress caused by those difficulties significantly deteriorates health , particularly mental health, often leading the victim to a crisis (A). For the covering abstract of the conference see E217780.
