Vehicle Accidents in California
According to the National Safety Council, 40,000 people suffered fatal injuries after being involved in vehicle accidents last year. Negligent driving is the main reason why so many people lose their lives in collisions every day. Most drivers don’t think using their cell phone while they drive is dangerous or that turning around to converse with a passenger in the back seat is also dangerous . Sometimes drivers aren’t in their right state of mind, such as when they’re under the influence or fatigued at the wheel. No matter the reason, distracted driving puts everyone on the road at serious risk.
The police are currently investigating this accident to figure out if negligence played a role, or if other factors were involved. Once they conclude their reports, the deceased driver’s family could file a wrongful death lawsuit to help cover funeral expenses and more.
