Traffic Accidents in California 

Car accidents in California happen very suddenly and unexpectedly. While not every crash will result in injuries many of them will. A substantial number of these collisions will end in serious injuries and even deaths. According to recent statistics, more than 3,000 people will lose their lives every year on our state’s roadways. This number represents more than 10% of all traffic fatalities nationwide. It goes without saying that California is a dangerous place for motorists.

There is nothing more devastating than the loss of a loved one in a traffic crash, especially if the crash was caused by someone else. While a beloved family member can certainly never be replaced, you may have legal rights if you have experienced the loss of a relative in a crash. Under California’s car accident and personal injury laws, the deceased victim’s next-of-kin may have the option to file a wrongful death claim following a fatal crash. These cases are complicated, however, and should only be handled by an experienced attorney.
