Liability In Bakersfield Car Accidents
The vast majority of car accidents involve some amount of human error. According to the Center for Disease Control, “more than 32,000 people are killed and 2 million are injured each year from motor vehicle crashes. In 2013, the US crash death rate was more than twice the average of other high-income countries.” There are a number of factors that could potentially contribute to a car accident including:
- Speeding
- Drunk driving
- Inclement weather
- Driver intoxication
All drivers have a legal obligation to exercise due care to avoid collisions. Pursuant to California Vehicle Code 22450, the driver of any vehicle approaching a stop sign must stop at the entrance of a limit line before entering the crosswalk on the near side of the intersection.
