Car Accidents in California
Traffic accidents constantly occur in California. In California, a car is a necessity for most people to commute. California is home to over 27 million registered vehicles and is one of the country’s most dangerous places to drive. Every day the roads are flooded with traffic and are extremely busy with long commutes and traffic jams.
Every day when drivers travel on California’s roads, they are at risk of getting into a traffic accident. However, getting in an accident is something that no one ever plans for. Awareness of some of the most frequent causes of accidents can help drivers reduce overall risk. Some of the most common causes of accidents in California include the following:
- Distracted driving
- Drunk driving
- Speeding
- Braking traffic laws
- Inattention
- Failure to yield
- Drowsy driving
- Inexperienced driver
- Dangerous roadways
- Poor weather
Almost all of these factors can be prevented with due care from the drivers on the roads. Each driver on the road owes a legal duty of care to the other drivers that they will operate their vehicle safely and responsibly to avoid harming others. When an accident happens, this legal duty of care has likely been breached, and they can be held liable for the resulting damages.
