Many people travel to the United States ever year without incident. In fact, the San Diego/Tijuana border alone has 26 million people that cross it each year. Unfortunately, for some of these tourists their trip to the U.S. ends unpleasant and expensive. If, for example, you were involved in a car accident and needed to be treated at a hospital you could expect the following average expenses:
- Minor surgery: is several thousand dollars average
- Surgery for a trauma victim: $113,300 average
- Treatment for a minor rib fracture: $11,600 average
If you’ve been involved in a car accident or injured due to the negligence of someone else while visiting California as a tourist, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries.
