Experienced and Trusted Car Accident Lawsuit Law Firm
Car Accident Lawsuit Lawyers in San Diego
With an estimated 2,973,000 vehicles registered in San Diego County, plus countless commercial vehicles and tourists using the roads, it is somewhat inevitable that collisions will occur regularly. Thankfully, most of these incidents are minor, involving nothing more than perhaps some bruising of the vehicle occupants, and superficial property damage. However, this is not always true, and the OTS reports that, in 2015, San Diego County saw:
20,385 injuries and fatalities arising from traffic accidents
Approximately 1,300 hit and run accidents
According to the Same Reports
Alcohol was involved in 2,454 of these accidents
Speed played a part in around 4,814 San Diego car accidents
Pedestrians were injured in 1,269 accidents
Cyclists were involved in 990 incidents
Motorcyclists were injured in 1,667 collisions
As the presence of alcohol and excessive speed indicates, a large proportion of San Diego car accidents occur due to either negligent or deliberately dangerous behavior on the part of one or more motorists. If you, or a loved one, have sustained serious injuries due to the actions of another driver, you may be entitled to file a lawsuit with the assistance of a San Diego car accident attorney.
Common Causes of San Diego Car Accidents
With the I-5 and I-15 highways listed amongst the most dangerous in the United States, San Diego attorneys are no strangers to car accident lawsuits. We have a proven track record of successfully handling lawsuits relating to all manner of car accidents, with some of the most common causes tending to include:
Distracted driving, which may be caused by texting when driving, take a call when driving, adjusting a GPS system, air-con, or music, speaking to passengers, eating or drinking, attempting to retrieve an item from the floor of the car, and various other factors
Defective vehicle components, including brakes and safety devices
Poorly-maintained road surfaces
Congestion, which is constantly increasing on San Diego roads
Regardless of how the car accident you were involved in was caused, when you have been injured through no fault of your own, you may be entitled to file a lawsuit to recover damages in respect of the loss of earnings, pain and suffering, property damage, and medical expenses incurred as a result of your San Diego car accident.
