Car Accidents in California
Every day, countless accidents take place in California that leave people with serious injuries. It is unfortunately all too common for victims of car crashes to suffer from spinal cord injuries, broken bones, internal organ injuries, and various other serious injuries that require extensive medical care. Even though most drivers are careful while operating their vehicles on our state’s roadways, we continue to see innocent people suffer serious injuries as a result of drivers who fail to do so.
We see many people left with serious injuries due to drivers who are under the influence of drugs or alcohol, traveling too fast for road conditions, or engaging in other reckless actions while behind the wheel. If you have been hurt as a result of a car crash that was caused by the negligent or careless actions of another motorist, you may be able to take legal action.
