Vehicle Collisions in California

Unfortunately, most two-vehicle accidents occur because of driver’s error, which includes speeding, driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol, conversing with other passengers, using a cell phone, and violating traffic laws. Most drivers don’t mean to put themselves or others in harm’s way when they partake in negligent behavior because they believe they’ll get away with it. Unfortunately, that has proven to be an inaccurate assessment, especially since negligent driving is responsible for nearly every accident in the United States.

Once the police get to the bottom of what caused this accident, it’s possible that Peters’ family may be able to file a wrongful death lawsuit with the help of a California wrongful death attorney. The other three victims may also be able to file personal injury lawsuits.
