Car Accident Lawsuits

By Eugene Bruno on February 10, 2022

With an estimated 2,973,000 vehicles registered in San Diego County, plus countless commercial vehicles and tourists using the roads, it is somewhat inevitable that collisions will occur regularly. Thankfully, most of these incidents are minor, involving nothing more than perhaps some bruising of the vehicle occupants, and superficial property damage. However, this is not always true, and the OTS reports that, in 2015, San Diego County saw:

Speed-Related Car Accidents

By Eugene Bruno on February 10, 2022

Aside from driving whilst under the influence of alcohol or drugs, driving at excessive speeds has been found to be the most common cause of fatal car accidents, not only in San Diego, but across the United States. The dangers, and the potential consequences, of speeding have been known for quite some time now, yet drivers continue to put their foot down and drive faster than the law allows on a very regular basis.

Rear-End Accidents

By Eugene Bruno on February 10, 2022

Whatever the underlying cause may be, the number one type of car accident in San Diego is the rear-end accident. There are a variety of scenarios in which these accidents may occur, but all involve some form of negligence, or lack of attention on the part of the rearmost driver. Even the most attentive of motorists is likely to have experienced at least one moment where a split-second of distraction meant you became closer than you would like to driving into the back of another vehicle, so it is easy to understand why the propensity for distracted driving leads to thousands of rear-end accidents, both in San Diego and across the United States.

Car Accident Injuries

By Eugene Bruno on February 9, 2022

A car accident can wreck your car, send you to the ER, and cause pain and problems that can last weeks, months or a lifetime. Most people are not financially or emotionally prepared for what it’s like after an accident. Injuries can lead to months of pain and suffering and sometimes turn into permanent problems.
