Top Causes of Car Accidents in Hesperia

Our lawyers believe that a goal of zero fatalities in the state of California is possible, because we know that car accidents are not inevitable; instead, they are the result of human error, and are entirely preventable as such. One of our jobs when you come to us after being involved in a car accident is to determine the cause of that accident so that the responsible party can be held liable for your damages. Over the years, we have seen car accidents caused by a myriad of different things – some of the most common include:

• Driver error. By far, driver error is the number-one cause of car accidents in Hesperia. Acts of driver error that lead to crashes include:
• • Distracted driving, such as using a cellphone to text or talk, eating, self-grooming, attending to passengers, and more;
  • Speeding – the faster a vehicle is traveling, the greater the risk of accident and the risk of damages in that accident being more severe;
  • Driving while drunk or impaired;
  • Failing to adhere to traffic safety laws;
  • Running red lights or stop signs;
  • Following too closely/tailgating; and
  • Driving aggressively.

• Vehicle defects. Another cause of crashes in Hesperia, although much less common than accidents caused by driver error, is vehicle defects. When a vehicle or vehicle part is designed or manufactured defectively, it could cause a severe accident. Examples of vehicle defects that often lead to crashes or serious injuries include tire tread defects, brake defects, airbag defects, and more.
• Poor road conditions. Poor road conditions can increase the risk of a car accident. Some road conditions are the work of Mother Nature, and cannot be prevented, such as rain. However, even when roads are slick and visibility is poor, drivers still have a duty to operate their vehicles responsibly, and to adjust their driving based on the weather (i.e. slow down, provide more following distance, etc.). Other types of road conditions that can lead to an accident include uneven road surfaces, potholes, lack of signage or improper signage, poorly marked construction zones, unremoved debris, and more.

After your car accident, we’ll help you get to the bottom of how it happened and who’s to blame and then can bring forth a claim against the appropriate party and insurance provider as such.

Types of Damages Recoverable in a Car Accident Claim

When you are involved in a car accident that is caused by no fault of your own, you deserve to be fairly compensated for the full extent of damages you have suffered. Types of damages that are recoverable in a car accident claim in Hesperia include:

• Property damage expenses: If your vehicle requires repairs as a result of the accident or has to be replaced entirely, you shouldn’t have to pay for these costs.
• Medical expenses: Even minor injuries can be expensive to treat – doctors’ appointments, hospital stays, surgeries, medications, and physical therapy can total tens of thousands of dollars. You should be compensated for the full value of your medical expenses related to the accident and future medical expenses.
• Lost wages: If you have been in a car accident and have suffered injuries, chances are that these injuries preclude you from returning to work immediately. In fact, if your injuries are serious, you may even be unable to work long term, perhaps indefinitely. You should be compensated for the value of your lost wages and loss of earning capacity.
• Pain and suffering: While a large percentage of the damages that a person accrues in a car accident are economic in nature, meaning that they have an actual cash value, damages can also be noneconomic. Pain, suffering, emotional distress, and loss of quality of life are all examples of noneconomic damages for which you deserve to be compensated.
