Car accidents happen so often that it is no longer shocking to hear about them on the evening news or read the details of the latest smash online. Even when there are fatalities involved, many of us will feel a fleeting moment of empathy with the victims and their families, before moving on with the rest of our day. However, when that car accident has resulted in you, or a loved one, sustaining serious or fatal injuries, it becomes infinitely more important. You may think that, as a careful driver who abides by the rules of the road at all times, you have little chance of becoming involved in a collision. Maybe you have escaped without significant injuries, but your car, which you cannot work without, is beyond repair. When you have been impacted by a Santa Ana car accident, an expert attorney from the Law Offices of Howard Kornberg could ensure you recover the full settlement you are entitled to.
