Car Accidents in California
Nobody understands how much a motor vehicle accident can completely change their life unless they have the experience of being involved in one. Unfortunately, the devastating consequences of automobile accidents are far-reaching. We see many people left with serious injuries as a result of their crashes. Internal organ injuries, broken bones, spinal cord injuries, and even neck and soft tissue injuries can have a devastating impact on the health and well-being of accident victims.
Unfortunately, hundreds of thousands of accidents take place every year in California. There are many instances where innocent people are hurt in crashes as a result of motorists who operate their vehicles recklessly and negligently. Speeding or driving while intoxicated continues to be some of the leading factors in automobile accidents across our state. We also see a significant number of people hurt as a result of drivers who are distracted by their phones, eating while behind the wheel, reaching down to change the radio station, or weaving between lanes.
When people are injured in motor vehicle crashes due to negligent and reckless drivers, they are able to pursue personal injury claims against them. Personal injury claims are designed to allow victims to recover financially in the aftermath of an accident. These claims allow victims to get the money they need for medical costs, lost wages, and more.
