Car Accidents in California
A motor vehicle accident can have a significant impact on your life. Unfortunately, automobile collisions occur daily in California that have devastating impacts on victims. There are countless instances where people are harmed in accidents as a result of negligent drivers. Some of the leading factors in motor vehicle accidents across our state include:
- Impairment: When drivers are under the influence of drugs or alcohol, the chances of them being able to control their vehicle in a responsible manner are dramatically decreased. Drivers who are impaired may not be able to make responsible decisions, and they may have problems recognizing colors, understanding or comprehending street signs, or maintaining a single lane of travel.
- Distractions: When behind the wheel, it is critically important that drivers have their attention on the road at all times. Unfortunately, we see many accidents take place as a result of drivers who are texting on their phones, talking to their passengers, and other actions that take their attention off the road ahead.
- Pass stop signs: Countless car accidents take place in California as a result of drivers who pass stop signs at busy intersections. Stop signs are in place to provide motorists with the ability to safely pass through an intersection without harm. Unfortunately, when drivers disregard the stop signs, they can crash into other vehicles and cause serious injuries.
