Liability In Orangevale Car Accidents
Wrong-way drivers are the cause of many collisions every year. According to Patch, “Wrong-way driving crashes caused 2,008 deaths between 2015 and 2018, an average of about 500 per year, compared with an average of 375 deaths per year from 2010 to 2014, the data shows.” There are many factors that could contribute to a car accident.
- Speeding
- Drunk driving
- Driver distraction
- Inclement weather
All drivers have a legal obligation to exercise due care in order to avoid causing accidents. Pursuant to California Vehicle Code 21651, it is a crime to drive on the wrong side of the road. There is a presumption of negligence on any driver that hits another vehicle while traveling down the wrong side of the road. Victims of wrong-way collisions often suffer very serious injuries including:
- Broken bones
- Lacerations
- Spinal cord injuries
- Organ damage
Any person that is injured in a collision may have legal recourse through a bodily injury claim. Damages in a civil claim can help cover lost wages, medical bills, and pain and suffering. Unfortunately, insurance companies will often fight hard to downplay the extent of a victim’s injuries. A personal injury attorney can examine all of the unique facts of your case and let you know what your legal options are.
