Fatal Auto Accidents in California
A vehicle wreck can have an overwhelming impact on your life. Regrettably, we see countless people in Los Angeles hurt daily as a result of automobile accidents. There are many instances where innocent people suffer debilitating injuries due to negligent drivers. Some common factors in car crashes in our state include:
- Distracted driving: This is when a driver is not paying attention to the road because they are doing something else, such as talking on the phone, texting, or eating.
- Speeding: Speeding is a major factor in many car crashes. It increases the chance of losing control of the vehicle and makes it more difficult to stop or avoid an accident.
- Drunk driving: Driving while under the influence of alcohol or drugs is extremely dangerous and can lead to accidents.
- Weather conditions: Bad weather, such as rain, snow, or ice, can make it difficult to drive and can cause accidents.
- Road conditions: Poorly maintained roads can be dangerous and cause accidents. Potholes, debris, and other hazards can cause a driver to lose control of their vehicle or have an accident.
