Vehicle Accidents in California

Statistics reveal that about 29 percent of car accidents are caused by vehicles failing to yield the right-of-way to other drivers at traffic lights. When drivers do this, it’s often caused by distracted driving, drunk driving, fatigued driving, or aggressive driving. No matter a driver’s intention, they’re responsible for abiding by all traffic laws for the safety of themselves and other drivers. When they fail to do so and expect other drivers to yield to them, the results can be catastrophic or deadly.
