Multi-Vehicle Accidents in California
Tens of thousands of people are hurt in car accidents each year in California. Victims of such incidents frequently require substantial medical care after being injured. Many casualties lose their ability to work for several weeks or months while they heal from their wounds.
The reckless and inconsiderate behaviors of others, unfortunately, leave many people with life-altering injuries after accidents. Our state’s vehicle accident victims typically suffer from the following types of injuries:
- Soft tissue damage
- Loss of limbs
- Back injuries
- Cuts and lacerations
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Emotional distress
- Broken bones
Extensive medical care may be needed for any kind of serious injury. Many unfortunate victims must also deal with being unable to work due to their injuries and the need for extensive medical care. After suffering injuries in a vehicle accident, victims often find it difficult to move on with their lives. It can be very difficult to gather enough money for medical expenses and other needs.
