Fatal Car Accidents and Wrongful Death in Los Angeles

Los Angeles has seen a disturbing rise in fatal car accidents, with 2023 recording a significant increase in traffic-related deaths. This surge is driven by factors such as hit-and-run incidents, DUI-related crashes, and speeding, along with a troubling rise in pedestrian fatalities.

The Los Angeles Police Department has ramped up enforcement efforts to curb these dangers, focusing on high-risk areas to prevent further loss of life. Despite these efforts, the growing number of fatal accidents underscores the urgent need for safer driving practices throughout the city.
