Injury Multi-Car Accidents in Santa Monica
Santa Monica sees a high number of multi-car accidents each year due to heavy traffic, tourist activity, and its proximity to major highways like I-10 and Pacific Coast Hwy. Many of these collisions occur at intersections and highway ramps, often caused by distracted driving, speeding, or failure to yield.
Injury accidents can result in severe physical, emotional, and financial challenges for victims, including medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Those injured due to another party’s negligence may file compensation claims and should act promptly, as the statute of limitations in California is typically two years. Documenting the scene, gathering witness statements, and consulting an attorney are key steps to building a strong case.
