Auto Accidents in California
Motor vehicle collisions are unfortunately all too common in California, causing significant harm year after year. Tragically, thousands lose their lives, and tens of thousands suffer life-altering injuries as a result. Many of these accidents result from negligence, with factors such as inattention, driver fatigue, reckless driving, intoxicated driving, and negligence during adverse weather conditions often playing a role.
