Vehicle Accidents in California
Studies show that 10% of vehicle accident fatalities are head-on collisions. The leading cause of these collisions is negligent driving, which consists of speeding, driving under the influence, using a cell phone,falling asleep at the wheel, violating traffic laws, and improper turning. Most of the time drivers collide from wrong way driving as well. Whenever two vehicles collide head-on, at least one of the drivers will be held responsible because the roads aren’t designed for drivers to collide head-on. The roads are designed for people to drive in the same direction or in the opposite direction.Therefore, colliding head-on usually means one of the drivers are driving reckless.
Once the police determine what caused this accident and who will be held liable, it’s likely that personal injury lawsuits will be filed with the help of California personal injury attorneys.
