Wrong-Way and DUI Accidents in California
Whenever wrong-way accidents occur, the cause is usually impaired or distracted driving. These types of accidents usually happen late at night when there are significantly less cars on the highway. Whenever drivers consume too much alcohol, they begin losing control of their body and their perception is altered and slowed. Therefore, it’s easy to see how a drunk driver would enter the wrong part of the freeway, especially if not many cars are on the road.
Because this accident was caused by negligent behavior, each injured victim could file a personal injury lawsuit with the help of a California personal injury lawyer.
