The good news? Backover accidents are preventable if you follow some guidelines to keep your children safe.
However, if you or someone you love is injured in a backover accident, you will need a reputable Sacramento car accident lawyer by your side. Our team has decades of experience handling a variety of car accidents and can help you fight for the compensation you need.
