Sacramento Automobile Accidents
Sacramento Car Crash Lawyer - California Car Wreck
Attorney
There is a auto accident every 10 seconds of every day in America - over
6,000,000 every year. These auto accidents cause over 40,000 deaths and
3,000,000 injuries each year. Some of the auto accidents are caused by momentary
mistakes or inattention, some by sleepy drivers, others by overly aggressive
driving, still others by intoxicated drivers. A surprising number are caused by
defects in the motor vehicle (bad tires or brakes), unclear road markers or
signs, or road hazards-some of which may be created by sloppy construction. Many
auto accidents are minor and involve more hassle than heartache, but the serious
ones create significant problems for the innocent victims. Medical bills, lost
wages, disability and physical incapacity, rehabilitation and future health care
may seem insurmountable obstacles. Even figuring out the other driver's
insurance company and amount of insurance coverage can be a major problem.
There is a death caused by a auto accidents crash every 12 minutes; there is a
disabling injury every 14 seconds. Auto accidents are the leading cause of death
for people ages 1 to 33. The age groups most affected by auto accidents are
15-24 and 75+. There were an estimated 5,800 pedestrian deaths and 90,000
injuries. Walking in the roadway accounted for only 9% of all pedestrian deaths
and injuries. About 3 in every 10 Americans will be involved in an
alcohol-related auto accident at some time in their lives. Bicycling resulted in
about 800 deaths in collisions with motor vehicles.
