Car Accidents in California

California experiences a high volume of car accidents each year, particularly in busy cities like Santa Ana. These crashes are often caused by driver negligence, including speeding, distracted driving, and failing to obey traffic signals. Intersections, in particular, are frequent sites of collisions due to heavy traffic and misjudged right-of-way.

Victims of car accidents can suffer from a variety of injuries, including:

• Whiplash and Soft Tissue Damage – These injuries are common in rear-end collisions and can cause persistent pain and limited mobility.
• Fractures and Broken Bones – High-impact crashes often result in fractures, which may require surgery and lengthy rehabilitation.
• Head and Brain Injuries – Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) can lead to memory loss, cognitive difficulties, and long-term health issues.
• Spinal Cord Injuries – Damage to the spinal cord can result in chronic pain, loss of movement, or even permanent disability.
• Internal Injuries – Blunt force trauma from a crash can cause internal bleeding and organ damage, which may not be immediately apparent but can be life-threatening.

If you or a loved one has been injured in a crash, seeking medical attention is critical. Some injuries may not show symptoms right away, so it’s important to get checked by a doctor to ensure proper treatment.
