Picture this: You’re cruising down familiar streets when, suddenly, a collision shatters the peace. Life’s unpredictable turns can lead you to unexpected places, like finding yourself in a car accident that’s clearly not your fault.  According to the Traffic Incident Management System (TIMS), California witnesses thousands of collisions each year, leaving a trail of emotional […]

Under California law, a person who negligently injures someone is legally responsible for paying that person’s medical bills.
