Vehicle Accidents in California
Studies show that 50 percent of all serious accidents occur at intersections, which means one of the drivers disregarded the fact that the other driver had the right of way. Most of the time the reason why two vehicles collide at an intersection is because of distracted or reckless driving. If a person is speeding at an intersection and they also don’t have the right of way, then there’s a high possibility an accident will occur. If a driver is using their cell phone while trying to turn at an intersection, an accident will more than likely happen since the driver isn’t fully focused.
Once the police get to the bottom of who had the right of way and what led up to this crash, it’s possible that personal injury lawsuits will be filed with the help of a California personal injury attorney.
