Tiger Woods was injured in a serious car crash Tuesday and needed to be extricated from his vehicle with the "jaws of life," the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department said.

Woods was the sole occupant in the crash near the Rolling Hills Estates and Rancho Palos Verdes neighborhoods of Los Angeles. Officials said the crash occurred at around 7:12 a.m. and the vehicle sustained "major damage.

"The vehicle was traveling northbound on Hawthorne Boulevard, at Blackhorse Road, when it crashed. The vehicle sustained major damage," officials said. "The driver and sole occupant was identified as PGA golfer, Eldrick 'Tiger' Woods. Mr. Woods was extricated from the wreck with the 'jaws of life' by Los Angeles County firefighters and paramedics, then transported to a local hospital by ambulance for his injuries."

It is unclear what caused the accident. Police said that they are investigating.
Woods' agent Mark Steinberg released a statement following the crash.

"Tiger Woods was in a single-car accident this morning in California where he suffered multiple leg injuries. He is currently in surgery and we thank you for your privacy and support," Steinberg said.

Celebrity Jada Pinkett Smith and Miami Heat legend Dwyane Wade posted pictures and videos with Woods on Monday.

"Guess who I had the most awesome golf day with yesterdayyyyyy??? Yes! The magnificent @TigerWoods!!!! Yes ... dreams come trueI can’t wait for you to see my golf journey with Tiger. Stay tuned!" Pinkett Smith wrote.
Woods recently had a fifth back surgery on Dec. 23, and the first since a procedure to fuse his lower spine back in April 2017. On Sunday, he couldn't say whether or not he would be at The Masters.

Medical Malpractice Lawyer: When You May Have a Case

Patients trust doctors, nurses, and hospitals to provide safe care. Unfortunately, medical mistakes can happen. A medical malpractice lawyer helps patients who were harmed by negligence, misdiagnosis, surgical errors, medication mistakes, or poor hospital care.

Not every bad medical outcome is malpractice. To have a case, there usually must be evidence that a healthcare provider failed to meet the proper standard of care and caused harm.

Common Medical Malpractice Cases

Common cases include missed diagnosis, delayed diagnosis, surgical mistakes, birth injuries, anesthesia errors, medication errors, infections, and failure to treat. A hospital negligence attorney can review medical records and determine whether negligence may have occurred.

What Compensation May Include

A medical lawsuit may seek compensation for medical bills, future care, lost income, pain and suffering, disability, and reduced quality of life.

Final Thoughts

Medical malpractice cases are complex and require strong evidence. If you believe a doctor or hospital mistake caused serious harm, speaking with a medical malpractice lawyer can help you understand your options.

Mesothelioma Lawyer: Asbestos Compensation Guide

Mesothelioma is a serious cancer often linked to asbestos exposure. Many people were exposed to asbestos at work, in military service, in construction, in factories, or through old building materials. A mesothelioma lawyer helps victims and families seek compensation from companies responsible for asbestos exposure.

An experienced asbestos attorney understands how to investigate exposure history. Many asbestos cases involve events that happened decades ago. A lawyer may review employment records, military service records, job sites, product history, and medical records to identify where exposure occurred.

What Is Mesothelioma Compensation?

Mesothelioma compensation may come from lawsuits, settlements, asbestos trust funds, or veterans’ benefits. Compensation may help cover medical bills, cancer treatment, lost income, travel expenses, pain and suffering, and family financial support.

Many companies that used asbestos created trust funds for victims. A mesothelioma lawyer can help determine whether you qualify for an asbestos exposure claim or trust fund payment.

Why Legal Help Matters

Asbestos cases are complex. Different states may have different deadlines for filing a claim. A lawyer can help file paperwork correctly and make sure important deadlines are not missed.

Final Thoughts

If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with mesothelioma, speaking with a mesothelioma lawyer may help you understand your rights and possible compensation options.
