About car accidents

The automotive industry has come a long way in improving road safety for pedestrians and motorists alike. And although technology has certainly advanced, minor and serious accidents still happen every day.

Catastrophic injury claims

In 2019, the United States Department of Transportation recorded 3,316 fatal automobile accidents in California and another 2,950 in Florida.

Although these numbers are high, they still don’t include the thousands of other non-fatal injuries inflicted on victims every year.

Personal injury claims

Injuries can affect virtually every part of the body, and they may include:

• Lacerations, bruises and “road rash”
• Soft tissue, muscle, ligament and tendon damage
• Fractured and broken bones
• Disfiguration and scarring
• Internal injuries
• Burns
• Limb loss and amputations
• Traumatic brain injuries

In addition to these physical injuries, it’s also common to experience psychological injuries, such as:

• Anxiety
• Depression
• Grief
• Travel phobias
• Post-traumatic stress disorder
