Traffic safety is a major concern on California highways and city roadways. Initiatives to keep drivers and their passengers safe on the roads are significant undertakings by the California State Transportation Authority. With more drivers on Los Angeles roadways than ever before, and despite law enforcement efforts and the Transportation Authority to protect citizens from danger, accidents can and will occur.

The number of traffic fatalities in California declined slightly from 2017 to 2018, resulting in a total of 3,563 vehicular accident-related deaths. Many of the fatalities occurring on roadways are the result of alcohol or drug-impaired driving. Despite the more than $18.3M spent on alcohol-impaired driving initiatives, and the more than $13.0M drug-impaired driving initiatives, The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reported an increase in both drug and alcohol-impaired driving fatalities in recent years.

Nationwide, 12% of car accident-related deaths take place in California, many in Los Angeles County. Statistically, Los Angeles is the most dangerous county in California, with roadway injuries and fatalities accounting for more than 82K cases annually. Despite laws against texting and driving, more than 40% of drivers report checking text, email, and other phone-related concerns while they are behind the wheel.

Approximately 80K auto accidents resulted in property damage within Los Angeles County in recent years. Additionally, of those accidents, 50K people experienced an injury as a result of vehicular accidents in the county. Sadly, many of those who suffer injury as a result of an auto accident in Los Angeles will struggle to receive compensation for their losses.

Insurance companies don't work "for the client" when it comes to disbursing payments to accident victims. The claims process is both complex and challenging to navigate for the average consumer. Failure to follow the process precisely or a lack of knowledge of the process can result in a loss of compensation, reduced compensation, or missed opportunities to collect fair compensation. Your lawyer will advocate for you, protecting your interests, and backing up your claim.

Our Los Angeles accident attorneys have a reputation for success in the courtroom. However, most of our car accident claims are settled outside of the courtroom. We work hard to negotiate terms with the insurance company that will help you get your life back on track with minimal disruption, but in the event that we cannot obtain the compensation that your case deserves, we'll fight for you at trial. Insurance companies know our firm and know we will fight them if a lawsuit is filed. Thus, when you hire one of our auto accident attorneys, most insurance providers will think twice before offering you a less than fair settlement.
