North Beach Car Accident Attorney
North Beach Car Accidents
Car accidents are responsible for injuring and killing thousands of Americans every year. In 2008, more than 3,400 people lost their lives in California car accidents. Unfortunately, the majority of those lives could have been saved had other motorists upheld their duty to drive in a reasonable manner. Driver negligence is a growing problem here in California and across the nation. Types of driver negligence include:
- Falling asleep
- Talking on a cell phone
- Eating or drinking
- Texting on a cell phone
- Running a red light
- Abruptly changing lanes
- Unsafe left-hand turn
- Fidgeting with the radio
- Substance abuse
- Applying makeup
- Reading.
If you have been seriously injured in a car accident, you may be entitled to financial compensation. Depending on the circumstances surrounding the accident, you may have several sources of compensation for your car accident injuries. In cases where the driver was under the age of 18 or the driver was driving a company-owned car, the owner of the vehicle may be held financially liable. A car manufacturer may also be named in a personal injury lawsuit if a faulty car part was responsible for an accident occurring. Car manufacturers may also be liable if a car component, such as an airbag or seatbelt, caused the injury. Lastly, a government agency may be fully or partially at-fault for a car accident if it is determined a road design flaw, faulty traffic signal or poor road condition was the reason for the accident.
Whether an owner, car manufacturer or government agency is to blame, contacting a skilled North Beach traffic accident attorney at Estey Bomberger is recommended.
