Can You Sue For Your Injuries In A Vehicle Crash Caused By Another?

Every day, cars, trucks and buses crash on the streets and highways in the San Francisco Bay Area. All too often, motor vehicle accidents are the result of recklessness or negligence on the part of one driver who is guilty of:

• Speeding and running red lights
• Distracted driving including texting or using an smartphone app while driving
• Sudden lane changes without looking (a common cause of motorcycle accidents)
• Illegal U turns or un-signaled turns at intersections in front of oncoming traffic
• Looking left while turning right (a common cause of cars hitting persons walking in a cross walk and other pedestrian accidents)
• Sudden stops and failure to yield right-of-way (a frequent cause of cars hitting bicyclists and other types of bike accidents)
• Unsecured loads on pickup trucks and semi trucks
• Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
• Fatigued driving from long work hours or persons suffering from sleep apnea.
