Vehicle Accidents in California
Recent studies reveal that about 487 children are injured every day in the United States after being involved in vehicle accidents. The most unfortunate aspect of vehicle accidents is that most of them could have been avoided, especially those caused by negligent behavior. When drivers decide to multi-task behind the wheel, they put themselves and others at high risk of being seriously injured or killed.
Once the police determine what led up to this accident and who will be held liable, it’s possible that the injured children could file personal injury lawsuits with the help of a California personal injury attorney.
At Brady Law Group, we think it’s unacceptable when drivers commit negligent acts that result in the injuries of innocent children. We work hard to defend their rights and make sure they receive financial coverage to pay for medical expenses, emotional distress, pain and suffering, and more.
