Car Accidents in California
An estimated 400 people are injured in car accidents across California every day. The consequences of an accident often create an overwhelming source of stress in a victim’s life. Typically, victims are filled with questions and doubt and unsure of how to move forward.
Even though most car accidents end with only minor injuries to those involved, additional tens of thousands of victims will necessitate hospitalization, surgeries, and emergency medical treatment for their injuries. Based on the kind of car accident, the odds of critical and life-threatening injuries may be higher for certain people.
