Car Accidents in California

Car accidents in California remain one of the leading causes of serious injuries. With heavy traffic and busy intersections, collisions involving multiple vehicles often result in catastrophic injuries. Even with safety features like airbags, crash victims may face broken bones, brain injuries, or lasting trauma.

Common causes of car accidents include:

• Distracted driving, such as using a phone or adjusting navigation.
• Speeding or aggressive driving in crowded intersections.
• Drivers failing to yield the right of way.
• Impairment from alcohol or drugs.
• Poor road conditions or mechanical failure.

Victims of car accidents often need emergency care, follow-up medical treatment, and rehabilitation. These expenses, combined with missed work and emotional stress, can place a heavy burden on families. Working with a seasoned car accident attorney ensures that victims understand their rights and receive guidance through the legal process.

A skilled attorney can gather evidence, review police and fire reports, and negotiate with insurance companies on behalf of victims. Legal action may also provide compensation for medical costs, lost wages, property damage, and pain and suffering.

When accidents cause catastrophic injuries, such as spinal damage or traumatic brain injuries, victims may face lifelong challenges. In these situations, families benefit from the support of a knowledgeable lawyer who can pursue the maximum recovery available under California law.
