Auto Accident Deaths

More than 43,000 auto accident deaths and 2.5 million injuries in traffic accidents occurred across the United States in 2006. Over half of the people who died in those accidents weren't wearing a seat belt. In fact, according to the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), there were more than 4,300 auto accident deaths in California alone in 2005.

The Kuvara Law Firm has represented hundreds of families whose loved one was killed in a traffic accident. We know how devastating the effects of an auto accident death can be—the grief, confusion and anxiety over the future—and we strive to handle each case with the dedication and compassion our clients deserve. The legal rights of the survivors must be upheld, and when the losses and damages due to the death are eligible for compensation, we fight to obtain the best possible outcome for each of our clients.
