Car Accidents and Personal Injury Claims in Los Angeles
Los Angeles continues to grapple with a rising number of traffic-related incidents. In 2022, the city recorded 312 car accident fatalities, reflecting a 5% increase from 2021 and a staggering 30% rise compared to 2020. This figure only accounts for vehicle-related deaths, excluding pedestrian and bicyclist fatalities that would further elevate the overall count.
The issue of personal injury claims in Los Angeles is also fueled by deteriorating infrastructure. Crumbling sidewalks in affluent neighborhoods have resulted in numerous falls and serious injuries, leading to costly lawsuits against the city. From 2019 to 2023, approximately $65 million was spent on settling claims related to defective sidewalks, highlighting the ongoing struggle to maintain safe walking environments.
Furthermore, high-profile settlements have underscored the city’s challenges in addressing personal injury cases. Legal battles involving a range of incidents, from traffic accidents to infrastructure-related injuries, demonstrate the persistent demand for improved safety measures and better accountability throughout Los Angeles.
