Traffic Fatalities Decreasing but Still Significant
California has a car culture. It's not surprising that we lead the country in traffic fatalities, despite a 6 percent reduction in fatal car accidents. In 2007, 3,974 people were killed in car accidents in the state, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. If you have lost someone dear to you in a motor vehicle accident, we can help you seek justice in a wrongful death claim.
Serious Injuries Demand Full Compensation
Car accidents are a common cause of serious injuries ranging from soft tissue injuries like whiplash to broken bones, spinal cord damage and traumatic brain injury. Catastrophic injuries to the head or back often require a lifetime of care for persons with paralysis or brain damage. In order to receive the full compensation you need for an accident injury, it's important to understand the exact nature of your injuries.
You Only Get One Chance at Fair Rewards
At the Law Offices of David G. Smith, we often see clients who were injured in a car accident whose physical symptoms took weeks or even months to appear. That is why we counsel all injured people never to sign any settlement agreement with an insurance company without talking with our experienced Bay Area auto accident attorney first. If you settle an accident injury claim too early, you are probably giving up all rights to be compensated for late-appearing symptoms.
