Liability In Tracy Head-On Collisions
Head-on collisions are among the most dangerous types of accidents that a person can be involved in. They account for only around 2% of all collisions but over 10% of all traffic fatalities. Speeding, in particular, is one of the most common causes of head-on collisions. But there are a number of other factors that could contribute to any accident including:
- Drunk driving
- Inclement weather
- Distracted driving
- Poor road conditions
It is illegal to operate a motor vehicle at a speed greater than would be reasonable or safe given the prevailing conditions of the roadway, pursuant to California Vehicle Code 22350. The family of any person that is killed in a car accident may have legal recourse through a wrongful death claim. Damages in a civil claim can help cover lost wages, medical bills and funeral expenses. A wrongful death attorney can examine all of the facts of your case and let you know what your legal options are.
