Fatal Auto Accidents in California
California experiences a high number of reported accidents each year, resulting in serious injuries for tens of thousands of people annually. Although every accident is unique, there are several common types that occur frequently. These include:
- Failure to yield accidents: Occur when a driver fails to give the right of way to another driver, often due to distractions or inattentiveness.
- Hit-and-run accidents: Involve one or more drivers fleeing the scene without exchanging information or contacting authorities, leaving victims with limited options for seeking compensation.
- Rollover accidents: Involve a vehicle flipping onto its side or roof, which can be caused by factors like excessive speed, poor road conditions, or defective automobiles, particularly those with a high center of gravity.
Any motor vehicle collision can have a significant impact on the lives of those involved, resulting in severe injuries that require hospital treatment.
