The most common type of personal injury case in the court system today is automobile accidents. With the continued population rise in Orange County and California alone, more and more drivers are clogging the roadways. Most of these accidents are caused by pure negligence of one or more drivers—and can result in the serious injury or death of others.
Every 10 seconds, someone in the United States is involved or seriously injured in an automobile crash, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Under California law, all drivers are required to exercise “reasonable care under the circumstances” while operating a vehicle on California State public and private roads. Failure to use such reasonable care in these circumstances may be considered negligence. An individual who negligently operates their vehicle and causes serious injury or death to another may be required to pay for harm or damaged property caused by their negligence. The victim of such a crime—the plaintiff and their experienced Orange County auto accident attorney—must prove that the accused was indeed negligent, their negligence caused the collision, and this collision resulted in the serious injury or death of the plaintiff.
Typical Causes of Automobile Accidents in Orange County:
- Speeding: exceeding the posted speed limit or driving too fast for current road conditions
- Excessive or improper lane changes
- Failing to use turn signals
- Using an emergency lane to pass or passing on the shoulder
- Adjusting radio, cell phone, eating, drinking coffee, or attending to passengers while driving
- Driving while under the influence of drugs or alcohol
Drunk Driving:
Someone in the United States dies every 30 minutes from an alcohol-related collision. Over 1 million people were seriously injured in alcohol-related collisions last year alone. If a lawsuit arises from a drunk driving accident, a social host or bar may also be found liable for an already-intoxicated guest.
