Liability For San Francisco Car Accidents
Car accidents remain one of the leading sources of serious injury and death in the United States. According to the Centers for Disease Control, “more than 32,000 people are killed and 2 million are injured each year from motor vehicle crashes.” There are a number of factors that could contribute to a car accident including:
- Speeding
- Drunk driving
- Inclement weather
- Driver fatigue
All drivers have a legal obligation to exercise due care in order to avoid collisions. Nearly one third of all car accidents are due to drivers that are speeding. If a driver fails to reduce their speed to avoid a collision, this could form the basis of a negligence claim. Victims of car accidents tend to suffer very serious and costly injuries including:
- Broken bones
- Head injuries
- Lacerations
- Spinal cord injuries
Any person that is injured due to the negligence of another driver may have legal recourse through a wrongful death claim. Damages in a civil claim can help cover lost wages, medical bills and pain and suffering. It is important that evidence is properly preserved after any collision. A San Francisco car accident attorney can examine all of the facts of your case and let you know what your legal options are.
