Car Accidents in California
Car accidents are a leading cause of injuries across California, especially in urban areas like San Francisco, where traffic congestion and narrow streets can increase the risk of collisions. Many crashes occur due to speeding, distracted driving, or failure to yield, all of which can lead to serious injuries and extensive property damage.
Seeking medical attention after an accident is crucial, even if injuries seem minor at first. Some conditions, such as whiplash or internal injuries, may not present symptoms immediately but can worsen over time. Obtaining medical documentation can also be important for insurance claims or potential legal actions.
Victims of car accidents may have the right to pursue compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages if another driver’s negligence contributed to the crash. Establishing liability often requires reviewing police reports, witness statements, and any available traffic camera footage.
