Car accidents are one of the leading factors of injury deaths in California. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), over 3,304 recorded fatal car accidents in California in 2017.

Attention to the road, competence behind the wheel, and proper vehicle maintenance can reduce the odds of getting into a collision. Negligence, recklessness, and breaking the law are at the heart of most “accidents.”

Determining who the at-fault party is in an auto collision is a complicated process. Although it is easy to determine who the responsible driver is during the crash, it can be quite challenging to prove the other driver’s negligence.

Insurance companies also tend to pressure their victims to settle for a quick payout even though the case is worth more. They would attempt to limit the compensation and disregard the long-term consequences and suffering that a victim might experience.
