There are many potential causes and factors that can lead to wrongful death claim an auto accident. Some of the most common causes we see in Florin and across Northern California include:

Distracted driving continues to be one of the leading contributors to auto accidents across the country and in our local area. Any activity that diverts the driver's attention from the road can lead to an accident, such as:

• Texting or talking on a cell phone
• Adjusting the radio, GPS or other devices
• Eating, drinking or other activities
• Being distracted by passengers, especially children

Even a few seconds of inattention can be disastrous at highway speeds.

Driving while overly tired or falling asleep at the wheel is very dangerous. Drowsy drivers may have slower reaction times, reduced awareness and impaired judgment. Long commutes, overworked drivers, night shift workers and those with untreated sleep disorders are at higher risk.

Reckless behaviors like speeding, making unsafe lane changes, running red lights and stop signs, tailgating, street racing and other actions greatly raise the chance of a collision. Aggressive driving and "road rage" also contribute many accidents.

Drunk driving accidents can result in severe injuries and death due to impaired coordination, slower reactions and poor decision making. Drug use, both illegal and prescription medications, can also inhibit a driver's abilities.

Inclement weather like rain, snow and ice reduces traction and visibility for drivers. Debris on the roadway, large vehicle blind spots, uneven pavements and other hazardous conditions can also lead to accidents.

Defective auto parts, unsuccessful recalls, worn out tires, brake problems and other vehicle issues can cause drivers to lose control. Lack of proper maintenance exacerbates these mechanical failures.

The specific injuries suffered in a car accident depend on various factors like the vehicles involved, speeds, use of safety restraints, positions of occupants and more. Some common car accident injuries that we see include:

A blow to the head can cause concussions, contusions or dangerous bleeding in the brain. These traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) can result in long-term cognitive, behavioral and physical impairment.

Forceful collisions can fracture, dislocate or crush vertebrae in the spine, damaging the spinal cord. In addition to paralysis, spinal cord injuries can cause loss of sensation, restricted mobility and chronic pain.

The sudden impact of a crash can lead to a variety of bone fractures throughout the body. These range from minor cracks to compound or comminuted fractures. Healing broken bones usually requires immobilization and can result in restricted movement during recovery.

Whiplash and strains/sprains are common soft tissue injuries in car accidents. More severe crashes can even rupture or crush internal organs like the lungs, heart, kidneys and liver. Victims may require extensive, expensive medical treatment.

Shattered glass, twisted metal and other sharp surfaces within motor vehicles, can cause deep cuts and avulsions. In some accidents, body parts may even be severed – requiring reattachment surgery or prosthetics.

Being involved in a vehicle collision can be a terrifying, scarring experience. Many accident victims develop PTSD, anxiety, depression or other psychological conditions in the aftermath single vehicle accidents.

Some accident injuries like head trauma or internal bleeding have delayed onset of symptoms. Even if you feel fine initially, get checked out promptly by EMTs at the scene and/or visit the ER, urgent care or personal doctor for a thorough evaluation afterwards. Monitoring in the hospital may be required for more serious injury from crashes.

Alert officers to come to the scene of any multi-vehicle accident. Cooperate with their official crash investigation and request a copy of the traffic collision report for your records. Having an impartial law enforcement account of what transpired can help support an eventual injury claim.

Take ample photos recording damage to all vehicles, surroundings and any visible injuries. Obtain contact details and insurance data for the other involved drivers. Get witness statements too if possible. Preserve any photo or video evidence. All these records will be crucial when negotiating with insurers later.

Alert your provider about the accident and plans to seek medical care even if you do not plan to submit an initial claim. Insurers have strict notification windows, and this preserves your future rights. Refer any communications from the not at fault driver at-fault driver's insurer to your attorney.
