Top Rated Car Accident AttorneysÂ

Every year thousands of people are injured in motor vehicle accidents throughout California. As population density grows and distracted drivers become more common, our roads and freeways are more dangerous than ever. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration shows an increase in deaths arising from motor vehicle accidents and injured victims year over year. Sadly, most of these injuries and deaths are preventable and are due to careless or negligent behavior of the driver.
As the use of technology grows so does injuries on our roadways. Texting, checking sports scores, using cell phones or simply taking ones eyes off the road yield to dangerous accidents for innocent victims throughout Los Angeles, Orange and Riverside Counties.
FOCUSED DRIVING IS SAFE DRIVING
Although common sense for many people, it’s imperative to drive only when alert and focused. Driving under the Influence (DUI/DWI) has become an epidemic and according to the Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA):
- Alcohol impaired driving accounts for 40% of fatal crashes
- 3 in every 10 Americans will be involved in an alcohol-related crash at some time in their lives
- Nearly 1.5 million people are arrested each year for driving while intoxicated and 2/3 are first time offenders.
- Every 12 minutes someone dies in a motor vehicle crash, every 10 seconds an injury occurs and every 5 seconds a crash occurs.
The dangers of our main form of transportation, a motor vehicle, are real and how prepared you are after an accident can make all the difference in your case.
