Car crashes take place far too often in California. Many of them result in serious injuries for those involved. There are many instances where people are left with trauma to the head, broken bones, and even severe spinal cord injuries as a result of crashes. Suffering any type of injury can impact your health and well-being forever. Unfortunately, many people are hurt as a result of accidents caused by driver negligence.
