The consequences of a car accident can be far-reaching. Because cars have become so ubiquitous in our daily lives, many drivers are unaware of their potential for harm and death.

According to the California Office of Traffic Safety, 1,989 people were injured or died in car accidents in Riverside last year (OTS).

Intoxicated or distracted drivers, speeders, careless pedestrians, and drivers who ignore traffic laws are the most common causes of these collisions.
