Street Racing Accidents in California

According to California Law, because street racing is illegal, those engaged in such activity could face misdemeanor or felony charges. Street racing is highly dangerous and could result to drivers, passengers, and pedestrians being seriously injured or killed. Statistics show that out of 48 racing accidents, 60 people were injured, and one person was killed in 2002.

Because so many injuries resulted from this accident, it’s likely that personal injury lawsuits will be filed, especially since witnesses claim street racing was involved.
