Riverside Auto Accident Attorneys
Have you been involved in a Riverside automobile or motor vehicle accident? The skilled and dedicated auto accident attorneys at Estey-Bomberger are here to help. Automobile accidents are the most common type of personal injury. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Commission, someone in the United States is involved in a car accident every 10 seconds. It is possible that 1 or 2 people have been injured in the time it has taken you to read this paragraph.
Under the law, automobile accidents are typically considered “negligence”. When operating a vehicle, drivers are supposed to operate their vehicle responsibly and with “reasonable care under the circumstances”. Failure to do so results in automobile accidents, where the offender acting in negligence will be required to pay damages or losses to the injured party. If you have been the victim of a negligent driver, contact a Riverside auto accident lawyer immediately.
Causes of Auto Accidents:
Auto accidents are caused by drivers driving irresponsibly. The two largest causes of vehicle-related accidents are drunk driving and speeding. Knowledgeable automobile accident attorneys in the Riverside area would be the best resources in determining who is at fault in a collision. If you have been injured in an accident through negligence of another, call the experienced and aggressive attorneys at Estey-Bomberger for a free consultation. There are absolutely no fees or costs unless we win money on your behalf.
Common Causes include:
- Negligence is essentially irresponsible driving behavior. 98% of accidents are caused by one distracted driver. Distraction may occur by watching the passing scenery, adjusting the radio, talking with passengers, fatigue from a long day at work, talking on cell phones, and rubbernecking (drivers slowing down cars to watch what is going on—ranging from public events to other car accidents).
- Speeding is a common occurrence—especially on California highways. Speed limits are posted to make our roads safer, and driving faster could cause a painful and expensive collision with another car.
- Weather may also be a factor in auto accidents. Driving too fast in formidable weather such as heavy rain, sleet, or snow may cause cars to skid or lose control on the road, causing an accident.
- Improperly changing lanes and signaling is one of the leading causes of auto accidents in the Riverside area. Other drivers will not know the negligent driver’s intent and possibly cause a collision.
- Drunk Driving is one of the leading cause of fatal automobile accidents in the United States. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), nearly 40% of total traffic fatalities are alcohol-related incidents. Victims of car accidents where the negligent driver is charged with “Driving Under the Influence” (DUI) could be entitled to punitive damages. Statistics report that a person dies in an alcohol-related crash every 30 minutes in this country.
- In some cases, auto accidents are caused by factors unrelated to the drivers involved. One factor may be defects in the operated vehicles; this may point blame at the automobile manufacturers. This is known as product liability. If a product (such as a vehicle) is defective or causes harm or injuries to the consumer, the manufacturer may be liable for such injuries caused. In addition, the driver operating a vehicle that was not repaired properly by a mechanic may not be at fault. The improperly repaired vehicle is the fault of the mechanic, who was negligent in his or her work.
