Car Accidents in California
Car accidents throughout the state of California have an overwhelming impact on the lives of families. In fact, more than 150,000 people have their lives interrupted by accidents caused by negligent and reckless drivers throughout the state of California each year. In many cases, victims are forced to go through extensive medical treatment for broken bones, spinal cord injuries, and traumatic brain injuries. These accidents often leave people with overwhelming mental, physical, and financial pain and suffering.
Although there are a number of causes for collisions, roughly 80% are caused by the actions of drivers. When drivers are reckless, drive impaired, engage in distracting behaviors, or take their eyes off the road for any reason, it can lead to life-changing accidents. Many victims require hospitalization, therapy, and months to recover. Thousands of accident victims are left with permanent disfigurement and pain and suffering that impacts their health and wellbeing.
