Car Accidents in California
Thousands of people in Southern California are left with significant injuries as a result of automobile accidents. Unfortunately, we see many people hospitalized with traumatic brain injuries, internal organ injuries, and severe compound fractures. No matter how safe you are while traveling along our roadways, you cannot prevent others from engaging in acts of negligence. Regrettably, nearly four out of every five crashes take place as a result of driver error. Some of the leading causes of car crashes in our state include:
- Distracted driving: This is by far the leading cause of car accidents. Drivers who are distracted by their cell phones or other passengers in the car are more likely to get into an accident than those who are focused on the road.
- Road conditions: Poor road conditions can also lead to car accidents. If the roads are full of potholes or there's construction going on, drivers need to be extra careful to avoid getting into an accident.
- Drunk driving: Another major cause of car accidents is drunk driving. Drivers who have been drinking alcohol are much more likely to get into an accident than those who haven't been drinking.
- Speeding: Speeding is another leading cause of car accidents. Drivers who are speeding are more likely to lose control of their car and get into an accident.
