Liability For Santiago Canyon Car Accidents
Speeding remains one of the most common causes of car accidents in the United States. According to the NHTSA, “For more than two decades, speeding has been involved in approximately one-third of all motor vehicle fatalities. In 2020, speeding was a contributing factor in 29% of all traffic fatalities.” Drivers are much more likely to lose control of their vehicle at higher speeds. There are a number of steps that drivers should take to avoid collisions.
- Drivers should slow down as they approach curves.
- Drivers should adjust their speed as required depending on the prevailing conditions of the road.
- Drivers should be well-rested before they head onto the road.
It is illegal to operate a motor vehicle at an unsafe speed. Pursuant to California Vehicle Code 22350, no person shall operate a motor vehicle at a speed greater than would be reasonable given the prevailing conditions of the roadway. Even driving the speed limit could be unsafe if the roadway is wet or if traffic is heavy. Victims of car accidents tend to suffer very serious and costly injuries including:
- Broken bones
- Head injuries
- Spinal cord injuries
- Nerve damage
Even after the physical injuries of a car accident subside, many accident victims are left with psychological trauma. Any person that is injured in a car accident may have legal recourse through a bodily injury claim. Damages in a civil claim can help cover many of the expenses that come with a car accident. A personal injury attorney can examine all of the unique facts of your case and let you know what your legal options are.
