Thousands of people are killed and millions are injured in motor vehicle crashes. These crashes frequently are caused by the negligence of other drivers, leading to death or injury for these drivers as well as for innocent victims. Motor vehicle accidents can have many causes, but they most simply can be divided among negligence, intentional misconduct, or product liability. While it is true that accidents can be caused by a so-called "act of nature" such as earthquakes, this is rare.

Negligence is one of the primarycauses of automobile accidents. Negligent acts mean that the driver causing the accident did not exercise reasonable care. Examples include driving too fast or too slow for the conditions, allowing onef to be distracted, and carelessly ignoring traffic signals or conditions. There are many areas in which negligence can occur, but the common thread is that negligence is a failure to be careful rather than an act intended to cause harm. A person who is distracted and rear-ends another at a red light is negligent. Intentional misconduct, on the other hand, is an action committed when the person knew that when doing so could cause the other harm and did not care, or actively desired to harm others. Someone who drives at a high rate of speed, cutting in and out of traffic, is intentionally putting himself and others at risk. The law of strict liability could apply in some circumstances, and neither negligent nor intent would need to be shown. A third cause of automobile accidents is product failure, a prime example of which being the Firestone Tire litigation. In those cases, defects in the tires caused accidents beyond drivers' control. The defects were not intentional but under the law, the manufacturer was responsible. A similar situation could exist if a repair to the car was done improperly and resulted in a crash. In some states, the case of auto accidents caused by drunk drivers, the business or host who supplied the alcohol and allowed the driver to drive in an intoxicated condition could be found to have a secondary liability.

ATVs- (All Terrain Vehicles) bring a lot of joy to their users, but also result in many injuries, some very serious. The victims of injuries resulting from ATV collisions are entitled to receive justice in the form of money damages when their injury is the result of negligent or careless operation of others or if the ATV was defectively manufactured or designed.

All-Terrain Vehicles (ATVs) are growing more and more popular. As such, the number of ATV accidents is on the rise. What’s behind the rise in all terrain vehicle accidents? Driver error, increased power, speed, and the profile of ATVs. Unfortunately, these off-road accidents can have severe consequences, leading to injury and even death.
ATVs operation is largely unregulated by the federal government and state law. Though many car dealers offer classes on driving an ATV, drivers often opt out and drive the vehicles without adequate training. In addition, these vehicles are often used on personal property by children and young people well below driving age. A recent study showed that drivers under age 15 are more than twice as likely to overturn or lose control of their ATV.
The causes of all terrain vehicle accidents are varied. Driver error can be a factor, as can terrain, weather conditions, and even the presence of other ATVs. Most ATV injuries involve spinal cord and head trauma, which can lead to brain damage, neurological conditions including paralysis, and even death. These permanent injuries can affect a victim’s ability to work and participate in normal daily activities, and can cost thousands of dollars in required medical and other care.

18 Wheeler-- also known as big rigs, tractor-trailers or semis -- form the invisible supply network that keeps American businesses running smoothly. Unfortunately, they're also extremely dangerous in the hands of a careless operator. Because a truck weighs so much more than a passenger vehicle, it can hit a smaller auto with the force of 20 cars at the same time, virtually guaranteeing death or serious injury for those inside the passenger vehicle. That's why truck accidents cause so many deaths -- the Federal Department of Transportation reports that while trucks make up three percent of the vehicles on American roads, they were involved in 12 percent of fatal accidents in 2005. And an alarming three-quarters of those deaths were the deaths of people in other vehicles.

Truck driver error is a major cause of truck accidents, but not the only one. Cost-cutting trucking companies, more worried about their bottom lines than safety, often send their truckers out with substandard or badly maintained equipment. Insufficient safety lights, malfunctioning brakes and wrongly inflated tires put truckers and everyone around them at serious risk. And if cargo is poorly secured or hazardous, it poses an unnecessary, unacceptable risk to everyone sharing the roads with a truck.

Accidents may not be part of most people's daily lives, but for trucking companies, they're just the price of doing business. If you or someone you love was injured in a truck accident in San Diego or anywhere in California, you need an experienced personal injury lawyer. The trucking companies may send representatives to you as soon as possible to destroy evidence and minimize their liability.
