Fatal Pedestrian Accidents in California
Auto accidents that take place in California are often preventable. Many of these accidents are a result of negligence. Some of the leading causes of car crashes across our state include:
- Distractions: There is a high risk of collisions when drivers are distracted. Distracted drivers are more likely to cause accidents because they are unable to pay attention to the road.
- Running stop signs: Stop signs are installed at intersections to ensure the safe movement of vehicles and pedestrians. Those who ignore stop signs at intersections risk crashing into others.
- Speeding: When drivers are reckless and go too fast, they cause countless car crashes every year. Too much speed can make it hard for drivers to keep their vehicles under control, which is why they risk losing control and colliding with other vehicles. When traveling at high speeds on winding roads, drivers risk losing control and colliding with oncoming traffic.
Regrettably, these and other acts of negligence take the lives of thousands of people here in California every year.
