LOS ANGELES, CA, September 23, 2010 (Press-News.org) Driving is a way of life in the state of California. California encompasses hundreds of thousands of miles of highways that wind around the ocean and the mountains, through and around major cities. Additional thousands of miles of local streets and rural roads provide vehicle access to desert and small towns areas.
Although a vital necessity, driving can result in fatal tragedy. The California Highway Patrol investigated 1,119 accidents in 2008, representing an 8 percent increase over the 1,036 accidents investigated in 2007. In 2008, the number of accidents while driving under the influence increased over the number of accidents reported in 2007.
The freeways, intersections, crosswalks, and residential streets of Southern California present many unfortunate opportunities for motor vehicle accidents. For example, Highway 405 (San Diego Freeway), CA-110 (Harbor Freeway), 101 (Ventura Freeway), 710 (Long Beach Freeway), I-605, I-5, 91 (Artesia Freeway), 134 (Pacific Highway), and Route 1 (Pacific Coast Highway) can be the scene of serious accidents due to abject weather conditions, driver inattention, or heavy traffic.
If you or a loved one has been involved in a car accident, you should consult an experienced Los Angeles car accident lawyer to help you protect your rights and obtain the compensation you deserve.
Causes of Motor Vehicle Accidents
Motor vehicle accidents often happen due to the fault or negligent conduct of others. Every type of motor vehicle can be involved in an accident and cause serious injuries or fatalities, including passenger cars, light trucks, large trucks, buses, and motorcycles.
Motor vehicle fatalities or serious injury can result in the following situations:
- Collisions between motorists
- Collisions with street signs, palm trees, telephone poles, and other stationary objects
- SUV and passenger vehicle rollovers
- Motorcycles crashing into a moving vehicle or concrete barrier
- Large truck or tractor-trailers colliding with smaller vehicles
Motor Vehicle Accidents Due to Negligence
Most motor vehicle accidents are caused by a driver's negligent or careless act. A driver is negligent if he or she causes injury as a result of violating a traffic law, such as running a red light or speeding, or for failing to prevent an accident by driving without headlights at night, failing to yield to oncoming traffic, or failing to stop for a pedestrian in a crosswalk.
Gender-Based Fatalities
Men are more than twice as likely to die in a car crash than women. Studies reveal that as many as 73% of all people killed in car accidents are male. Men 70% more likely to be injured a serious motor vehicle crash because men drive about 60-65% more than women. Women take shorter trips and are involved in a greater number of minor accidents than men.
Liability and Insurance Coverage
If you or your loved one are involved in a car accident, you may be entitled to damages in the form of compensation for lost earnings, sick leave, disability pay, and health insurance. Legal remedies also exist to recover for catastrophic injury and loss caused by auto manufacturing defects, negligent road maintenance, or driver negligence.

The Real Jersey Shore
2010-09-23
It had been a location of yearly vacations for my brothers and I when we were young.
Like many other children, we would ride in the back seat of a car heading to Long Beach Island for a week in July or August and hope that the weather and waves would be kind and good.
So many memories of the drive from Brooklyn through New Jersey led me and my brothers to venture down to Seaside Heights, the town of Sun & Fun, during the Clown Festival which has occurred in September of every year for nearly three decades, and which our father was, oddly enough, very fond of.
