A car accident can be extremely disruptive to your life. In addition to damages to your vehicle, an accident can cause serious bodily injuries that can take time to recover from. Injuries can lead to missed time from work and costly medical bills.
California is a fault-based motor vehicle accident state. If you or your loved one has been injured in a car accident, you have the right to hire a personal injury attorney to get the compensation you deserve. Windsor Troy has a strong track record of helping injury victims recover full and fair compensation.
