Vehicle Accidents in California

Unfortunately, studies show that over one million people lose their lives in vehicle accidents every year in the United States. The leading cause of most accidents is negligent driving, which includes speeding, driving under the influence, driving fatigued, using a cell phone, and more. Drivers multi-task on the road for many different reasons, sometimes in the event of an emergency. However, regardless of one’s intent, violating traffic laws and driving distracted always puts everyone in harm’s way.

The police are currently investigating this accident to determine what led up to the crash and who will be held responsible. Depending on what they uncover regarding the accident, the deceased person’s family may be eligible to file a wrongful death lawsuit with the help of a California wrongful death attorney.
