Car Accidents in California
It is also common for motor vehicle accidents to take place in California that have devastating consequences for those involved. Every year, the reckless and negligent actions of drivers take the lives of thousands of people while leaving hundreds of thousands more with serious injuries that impact their lives forever.
There are many instances where people are involved in serious collisions as a result of drivers who are under the influence of alcohol. We also see a significant number of accidents take place as a result of drivers who are traveling above the posted speed limit, inattentive, or engaging in other negligent actions. When drivers refuse to operate their vehicles in a manner that is safe for everyone else nearby, they can cause devastating accidents that impact the lives of innocent people forever.
Car crash victims are often left with serious injuries that require extensive medical care. There are many cases where victims are forced to deal with traumatic brain injuries in the aftermath of their accidents. These painful injuries can have a lasting effect. Regrettably, victims who suffer from them are often left paralyzed forever.
We also see a significant number of victims left with traumatic brain injuries. These injuries can severely alter the victim’s ability to concentrate. They can also impact their mood, memory, and balance.
