Life can change without warning. Upon leaving home, one generally expects to arrive at his or her destination, complete the reason for being there and then return home. However, another individual's actions can have life-altering effects for numerous California residents. Rather than returning home, a loved one can be involved in a serious accident.
Hit-and-run driver causes serious accident
Accidents happen. Typically, when an serious accident occurs along a California roadway, all drivers involved stop, report the accident to the proper authorities, make sure that everyone is okay and exchange insurance information. These steps are not only required by law but also are the right thing to do. Unfortunately, this does not always happen. There are times when drivers choose to avoid responsibility for their actions.
Car accidents occur when drivers do not adhere to traffic laws
Crossing the street should be a simple process. Stop at the crosswalk, look both ways and then proceed. As long as everyone else is doing what they should be doing, the California resident should be able to safely cross. However, when drivers fail to follow traffic laws, car accidents occur.

Impaired drivers are a danger on California highways. Impairment can involve distractions such as drinking and driving or even using drugs and then operating a motor vehicle. Car accidents involving impaired drivers occur on a daily basis throughout California as well as the rest of the United States. The results of such accidents can be devastating to all involved, often ending in injury or even death.
