California Car Accidents
Tens of thousands of people are hurt in California car wrecks each year. A large percentage of these injuries happen in Los Angeles.
Victims and their families are impacted in numerous ways by car accidents. We like to hope that everyone is able to leave the scene of an accident unhurt, however, this is not always the case.

Alarmingly, almost all of these accidents happen due to some form of driver negligence.
