Auto Accident Statistics


As the number of vehicles on California streets and highways continue to increase, auto accidents become an ordinary event.

In fact, every 13 minutes some one dies of auto accident. Americans ages 1-33 are the often targets of these incidents.

Annually, about 3,727 accidents happened involving various vehicles such as cars, trucks, buses and motorcycles. In 2004 alone, auto accidents became the leading cause of death amounting to 1,336 fatalities representing 35% of the total car wrecks.

Auto Accident Causes


California follows strict road cautiousness but most people are still not safe from negligent acts of another. In fact, auto accidents are greatly attributed to negligence.

The National Highway Safety Traffic Administration reveals that most auto accidents are due to distractions such as:

•    Engaging in discussions with other passengers - 81%

•    Listening to the radio or CD – 66%

•    Eating or Drunk driving – 49%

•    Using the cell phone – 25%

The above mentioned causes are preventable if only extreme caution and road consciousness are observed.  

Auto Accident Litigation

Deaths or injuries caused by auto accidents are actionable wrongs. The law gives the victims or their families the right to file charges against the responsible parties.

The suing party must allege the facts and circumstances surrounding the claim. The following allegations must embody the complaint.

•    Extent of damage or injury

•    Auto accident report with the police

•    Facts of the accident (names and addresses of the persons involved, plate numbers, etc.)

Proving the foregoing facts may appear simple and less complicated but the law requires more than plain understanding of the process.

Auto accidents usually concern another person or a property. This makes it complicated. The interplay of various laws makes it overwhelming for an ordinary person to understand. You need legal expertise and experience to know the intricacies of tort law.
