Vehicle Accidents in California

Majority of vehicle accidents in California are caused by negligence, which is considered a civil wrong. When drivers are on the road, they have a duty to drive responsibly so as to not put others at risk. When drivers choose to drive under the influence, speed or use their cell phones, they’re not giving the road their undivided attention. Therefore, they won’t be aware if another driver attempts to switch lanes, step on their brakes, or turn at a light. It only takes a few seconds of distracted driving to cause serious injuries or even death.

The police are currently performing a thorough investigation of this accident to determine if alcohol or drugs played a role, if one of the drivers violated a law, or if there were mechanical issues with one of the vehicles. They’re also evaluating the damages of each car and the impact the damages left behind, such as skid marks and gouge marks. Once the police finalize their report, the injured victims could file personal injury lawsuits to help cover medical costs.
