Officers reported an unknown number of injuries, so the victims' current conditions are unknown.

Multi-Vehicle Collisions in California

Highways like the 105 in West Los Angeles move large volumes of traffic at generally high speeds. A moment’s distraction—such as checking a text or adjusting the car’s controls—can lead to sudden braking, spinouts, or multi-vehicle pileups. The “unknown injuries” label suggests that first responders were not able to confirm details on-site or that victims declined immediate medical aid. Despite an initial appearance of minor impact, individuals might later discover they’ve sustained injuries that worsen over time, including soft-tissue injuries or mild concussions.

If insurance companies are involved, they often request thorough documentation to validate claims of property damage or bodily harm. Photographs from the accident scene, police notes, and testimonies from bystanders all help determine who bears responsibility. Proving negligence under California law generally requires evidence that a driver failed to exercise reasonable care—whether by speeding, tailgating, or ignoring traffic regulations—and directly caused another person’s injuries.

In cases of uncertain liability, negotiations with insurers can be lengthy. Adjusters may delay or minimize payout offers, questioning the link between the collision and reported injuries. For victims dealing with ongoing medical treatments or forced time off work, waiting for fair compensation can be both stressful and financially straining. Having a legal advocate to manage discussions with insurance representatives can significantly reduce the burden and shorten resolution times.
