Car, Truck & Motorcycle Accidents

Attorneys Serving Clients Throughout California

Car, truck, and motorcycle accidents involving freeway pile-ups, head-on collisions, intersection crashes, and single vehicle mishaps occur daily on highways across the U. S.

Statistics indicate that more than 6 million vehicle accidents annually result in serious injuries, deaths, and billions of dollars in property damage. The National Highway Safety and Transportation Administration (NHSTA) reported that more than 42,000 people died in traffic accidents in 2006 and another 2.5 million motorists and non-motorists were injured. For California, NHSTA figures show Los Angeles County leading the state in total traffic accident fatalities, total alcohol related fatalities, and total motorcycle related fatalities.

Common Causes of Traffic Accidents

In California 42% of fatal accidents involve alcohol. Most other injury accidents occur because the driver is not paying attention. Unruly children, talking on a cell phone, eating while driving, changing a CD, or looking at a GPS device, may distract a driver. Other causes may be related to defects in a highway, weather conditions, confusing signs, construction, or even animals or unexpected objects in the roadway.

When you are a victim of a traffic accident and suffer serious or catastrophic injuries, or a family member dies as a result of the negligence of another person, a lawyer who has expertise in personal injury lawsuits and regularly handles this type of case can protect your interests, deal with the insurance companies, and recover damages from the party responsible for your injuries.
