Rear-End Accidents in California

Sadly, every 2 minutes and 20 seconds an individual sustains injuries in California as a result of traffic collisions. Most rear-end accidents are caused by driver’s inattention, which occurs when drivers are on their cell phones, drunk, or tired at the wheel. When rear-end accidents occur after midnight, it’s most likely due to drunk or fatigued driving since both produce the same bodily effects. For families who have lost loved ones in rear-end accidents, it’s important to immediately seek help from an experienced California wrongful death attorney.
