In California, car accidents are the leading cause of personal injury and wrongful death lawsuits. Regardless of how similar they are, each claim has its own circumstances. A California car accident lawyer should thoroughly investigate each of these accidents.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimates that 5 to 6 million car accidents occur in the United States each year. Each year, more than three million Americans are injured in car accidents, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 3,304 Californians died in car accidents in 2017.
