California is one of the most dangerous places in the U.S. for drivers. According to the County Medical Examiner’s Office, San Diego traffic deaths increased by 18 percent in 2014. San Diego motor vehicle fatalities in 2014 totaled 291 compared to 247 in 2013. California traffic deaths during the first six months of 2015 were 14 percent higher than in 2014. So far, 1,566 people have died in crashes in California during 2015; that’s a 20 percent increase over last year. San Diego draws scores of visitors every year. They come to enjoy the warm, sunny weather, the beautiful ocean beaches, and the many art galleries, museums, gardens and parks. Unfortunately, accidents happen, even in beautiful places. Many of those accidents leave injured victims in their wake whose lives will never again be the same. Car accidents are very common. In fact, in 2008 alone there were a total of 13,527 injury crashes and 246 fatal auto accidents in San Diego County, California (according to California Highway Patrol statistics). As such, the probability that you will be involved in a car accident at some point in your life is very great. Depending on the case, you may suffer serious injury and may also be left dealing with damage to your vehicle, which can add up to serious emotional trauma and stress. Medical costs, the strain of dealing with your car accident insurance claim and also the physical and emotional injury you have sustained may leave you facing what seems like a bleak future.
