Car Accidents in California
Every year, California experiences hundreds of thousands of reported accidents, many resulting in serious injuries that require extensive treatment. While each accident is unique, several common types occur frequently:
- Failure to yield accidents: These occur when a driver fails to give the right of way to another, often due to distractions or inattention.
- Hit and run accidents: In these incidents, one or more drivers flee the scene without exchanging information or contacting authorities, leaving victims with limited recourse for damages or injuries.
- Rollover accidents: These involve a vehicle flipping onto its side or roof, often caused by factors like excessive speed, poor road conditions, or defective automobiles, particularly those with high centers of gravity.
These accidents can have a devastating impact on victims, leaving many with serious injuries requiring hospital treatment. Unfortunately, there are instances where victims passed away as a result of their injuries.
