Car Accidents in California
Car accidents are frequently reported in the state of California. In fact, hundreds of people are injured every single day as a result of these collisions. In California, there are several reasons why we continue to see such frequent motor vehicle accidents in our state. These include:
- Speeding: We see a significant number of people severely harmed in accidents involving speeding motorists. When drivers travel too fast, they are likely to roll over and lose control of their vehicles.
- Impairment: Being under the influence of intoxicants can have a significant impact on a person’s ability to control their vehicle. Unfortunately, people are injured every day in automobile accidents as a result of drivers who are under the influence of drugs or alcohol while operating their vehicles.
- Recklessness: Drivers who engage in reckless actions continue to cause serious accidents in our state. This can include tailgating, switching between lanes recklessly, improper passing, and racing other vehicles.
- Distractions: There are thousands of accidents reported annually as a result of drivers who are distracted. Drivers who are texting, eating while operating their vehicles, and engaging in other reckless actions continue to cause harm to innocent people.
Drivers who engage in these and other reckless and careless actions while operating their vehicles place the lives of everyone else at risk. Regrettably, these actions can have serious consequences for innocent people. If another person’s negligent or reckless actions have caused you harm, you have the legal ability to pursue compensation from them.
