Fatalities are on the Rise

California is a car culture. It's not surprising that we lead the country in traffic fatalities. In 2005, 4,329 people were killed in motor vehicle traffic crashes in the state, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Fatalities were up 1.4 percent nationally compared to 2004, while California traffic deaths rose 5.1 percent.

Serious Injuries

Auto accidents can cause injuries ranging from soft tissue injuries like whiplash to broken bones to injuries of the head, back, and neck. Car crash-related spinal cord injuries can cause paralysis that requires a lifetime of care.

At the Law Offices of David G. Smith, we understand that physical symptoms from auto accidents often take many weeks or months to appear. That is why we counsel all injured people not to sign any settlement agreement from an insurance company representative without talking with an experienced auto accident attorney. If you settle too early, you are probably giving up all rights to be compensated for late-appearing symptoms.
