The Aftermath of Traffic Crash

California’s road accident rate continues to increase, rather than decrease, despite the additional safety features on newer vehicle models.

The increasing crash rate reflects that auto accidents are a major public health threat. They are a leading cause of death for individuals ages 5-64.

As a matter of fact, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), two out of three motorists will be involved in an injury accident during their life.

That is why it is important to know what to do if you or a loved one was involved in a vehicle accident.
