The number of vehicle accidents increases every year in California, which means more drivers, passengers, and pedestrians are suffering from injuries that could be minor, severe, catastrophic, or fatal. For those filing personal injury lawsuits to recover compensation, they must be able to prove causation by showing the link between the other driver’s negligent behavior and their own bodily injuries.
