Car accidents are a common cause of many different types of injuries, ranging from minor abrasions and lacerations to severe, life-altering head and spinal cord injuries or even death. However, the more force involved in the accident, the more often it will result in a serious injury or a fatality. For that reason, three of the most common types of fatal car accidents in the state of California are rollover accidents, T-bone accidents, and head-on collisions. Causes of these accidents are often speeding, drunk driving, or distracted driving. If you or a loved one have been seriously injured in a car accident, it is wise to consult an experienced car accident lawyer to help you deal with insurance companies and to get you the compensation you need.

Distracted Driving

In this age of smartphones and digital devices, distracted driving is, unfortunately, more common than ever. It has been found by the National Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) that “a person who uses handheld devices while driving is four times as likely to be involved in an accident than someone who does not”. Driving distractions can be caused by eating in the car, talking on a phone, using a GPS navigation system, or even just by daydreaming. Whatever the distraction, it’s easy to veer into the wrong lane and be hit by an oncoming car. It only takes one such mistake to end a life or the life of someone else.
