Causes of Car Accidents in Los Angeles

From the moment cars first appeared on our roadways, the possibility of car accidents reared its ugly head. Now, with higher speed vehicles, congested highways, large numbers of impaired drivers behind the wheel, and an ever-increasing number of electronic distractions, car accidents are all too common. Everyday causes of car accidents in California include:

As if driver-caused accidents were not enough for us to worry about, car accidents also result from random occurrences such as:

  • Distracted driving (while texting, talking on the phone, eating, reaching)
  • Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
  • Speeding or ignoring traffic signals
  • Driving while sleepy or fatigued
  • Improper turning or lane changing
  • Failing to obey traffic signals
  • Tailgating
  • An animal on the road
  • A sudden storm, explosion, or bridge collapse
  • Objects falling off passing vehicles
  • The medical event of another driver
  • A large pothole or debris on the road
  • A defect in the car itself (e.g. defective brakes)

While it may seem that the above random occurrences are not anyone’s fault, they may be due to negligence on the part of the trucking company tasked with tying down cargo, negligence on the part of the county or state responsible for maintaining a clear road surface, or negligence on the part of the auto manufacturer that put cars with dangerous defects on the road in the first place.

When you engage the services of Compass Law Group, you can trust us to investigate the cause of your accident thoroughly by: examining and photographing the accident site, interviewing witnesses, reviewing the police report, having involved vehicles’ checked for mechanical flaws, and finding out the state of the other driver’s physical health, sobriety, and stability. You can count on us to find the root cause of your accident and to hold the liable party accountable. You can also trust us to locate expert witnesses in related fields, for example, to describe the extent of your injuries, explain automotive dysfunctions, or investigate the reason for a slippery road surface. We may also, if we feel it is necessary, bring such experts to court to testify on your behalf.

Types of Car Accidents

If two or more vehicles are involved in a car accident, depending on the direction they were traveling at the time of the collision, and on other factors such as weather and road surface, the angle at which the vehicles make contact will vary. The accident in which you were hurt may have been one of the following:

Car crash on a highway during a cloudy day.
  • Head-on collision
  • Rear-end crash
  • Rollover
  • Side-impact collision (T bone)

It should be noted that, in some cases, even low-speed collisions can result in serious injuries. Much may depend on where the victim is seated in the vehicle as related to the point of impact.

Our attorneys are all too familiar with the enormous costs incurred when recovering from a traumatic, or even catastrophic, injury. If someone else bears even partial responsibility for the harm that has come to you, California law potentially entitles you to:

  • Economic compensation for medical, surgical and pharmaceutical costs, lost income (present and future), property damage, physical and psychological therapy, alterations to make your home accessible
  • Non-economic compensation for intangibles, such as physical pain, emotional anguish, scarring or other disfigurement, permanent disability, loss of enjoyment of life

If the accident that caused your injury was the result of extraordinary recklessness or intentional malice, our attorneys may also be able to obtain punitive damages.
