Injury Accidents in California
Each year, more than 150,000 people are injured in accidents that take place on California’s roadways. In the Southern California area, accidents often involve bicyclists and pedestrians. Bicycle riders are at an increased risk of injury after being involved in an accident due to the lack of protection afforded to bicycle riders.
