Common Causes of Auto Accidents in Southern California
Many car crashes that occur in Los Angeles and elsewhere in California are caused by one driver’s or the other’s negligent – or careless, in other words – acts. This means (unfortunately) that many California car wrecks are avoidable and could be prevented through greater care and safer driving behaviors. According to the California Office of Traffic Safety’s statistics:
- Traffic fatalities increased 7 percent from 3,387 in 2015 to 3,623 in 2016.
- Unrestrained passenger vehicle occupant fatalities in all seating positions increased 3 percent from 568 in 2015 to 586 in 2016.
- Some of the most common causes of traffic collisions include: distracted driving/texting while driving, speeding, and failing to yield the right of way/failing to obey traffic control signs and signals.
In determining the cause of your car crash, Rohde Law Office can help you pursue compensation against any other person or entity that contributed to your crash and injuries through careless or reckless conduct. In so doing, we’ll help maximize your chances of obtaining monetary compensation from these at-fault parties so that you do not have to bear the expenses and costs of your injury and recovery.
