Injury Car Accidents in Los Angeles
Los Angeles is one of the U.S. cities with the highest number of vehicle collisions, reporting over 40,000 accidents in 2022, with 15,000 resulting in injuries. Busy intersections, speeding, and distracted driving are common causes, particularly in dense areas like Koreatown. Injury accidents often lead to physical, emotional, and financial challenges, including costly medical treatments and lost wages.
California law allows victims to seek compensation for damages through personal injury claims, covering medical expenses, property damage, and more. Acting promptly is crucial, as the statute of limitations is two years. While not mandatory, hiring an experienced personal injury attorney increases the likelihood of securing fair compensation by managing evidence, negotiations, and legal proceedings.
