Reckless Driving Accident Lawyers in San Diego
ARENDSEN BRADDOCK LAW | EXPERIENCE MATTERS
With multiple lanes, traffic congestion and highway speeds up to 70 MPH on some San Diego roadways, it’s not uncommon to get in an accident due to reckless or aggressive driving. In fact, along with operating under the influence and distracted driving, reckless driving is one of the most common
auto accidents in the entire state. According to the
Insurance Information Institute (III), reckless driving can be a factor in 50% or more of auto accidents every year. If you’ve been hit by an aggressive driver, consider reaching out to an experienced attorney to help you win your battle in court.
What is Reckless Driving?
Reckless driving comes in many forms, but can look like any of the following:
- Following too closely
- Driving at high speeds
- Erratically swerving in and out of lanes
- Failing to use your signals
- Racing on roadways
- Driving on the shoulder, ditch or sidewalk of a roadway
Many of the legal battles we handle include
pedestrians whom were hit
by reckless drivers on crosswalks, motorcycles who were hit by a car that didn’t use a signal and major collisions that involved high speed drivers.
WHAT CONTRIBUTES TO RECKLESS DRIVING?
According to the III, speeding accounts for one-third of all reckless driving cases, with the drivers citing the reason for speeding was due to frustration with traffic congestion. Traffic congestion is common in San Diego, especially during the 9am hour, 3pm hour or 5pm hour when people are commuting to work or picking up kids from school. Because traffic jams can cause tardiness and frustration, the reckless auto accident cases we handle are primarily due to collisions when someone changes lanes often or speeds.
Unfortunately, with any type of auto accident, reckless driving can cause fatalities. While it’s recommended to hire a lawyer for any car accident case, it’s especially important to hire a lawyer if a loved one has been involved in a fatal accident. Car accident cases can oftentimes be complex due to insurance claims, negligence, and long-lasting trauma – all of which can be settled in court.
