Common Causes of Motor Vehicle Accidents in California
Many crashes happen because of driver actions. Common causes include distracted driving (such as using a phone), speeding, driving under the influence, reckless actions like unsafe lane changes, running red lights or stop signs, and sometimes poor road conditions or vehicle defects. These issues lead to serious crashes every day in California.
Types of Injuries from Motor Vehicle Accidents
Severe crashes often cause catastrophic, life-altering injuries. Common ones include traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries that can lead to paralysis, multiple broken bones, internal organ damage, amputations, severe burns, and chronic pain conditions. These injuries typically require long-term medical care and change lives forever.
What to Do After a Motor Vehicle Accident
If you are involved in a crash, taking the right steps can protect your health and any future claim. Here is what to do:
- Stay at the scene if it is safe to do so.
- Call 911 right away if anyone is hurt.
- Move vehicles out of traffic if possible and turn on hazard lights.
- Exchange names, contact information, license plates, and insurance details with the other driver.
- Take photos of the scene, vehicle damage, and any visible injuries.
- Get contact information from any witnesses.
- See a doctor as soon as possible, even if you feel fine at first—injuries can appear later.
- Report the crash to the police and get a copy of the report.
- Notify your own insurance company about the accident.
Why Motor Vehicle Cases Can Be Complex
Winning catastrophic injury cases demands rare skill and financial resources. Veen Firm meets that demand every day.
California uses a fault-based system, meaning the driver responsible for the crash must pay for the damages. The state also follows pure comparative negligence rules, which allow recovery even if you share some fault, though the amount is reduced by your percentage of blame.
Insurance companies frequently deny valid claims or offer low settlements. Many serious cases involve multiple parties, such as employers, rideshare companies, or manufacturers of defective vehicle parts. Catastrophic injury claims require detailed proof of future medical costs, lost wages, and ongoing pain and suffering.
