Traffic Collision in Anaheim
Being involved in a motor vehicle accident can be a traumatic experience for the victims and their families. According to data released by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 18 fatal accidents happened in the city in 2019, which claimed the lives of 18 people. Six of these fatalities were pedestrians. In 2017, 34 people were killed, with 11 of those being pedestrians. Many factors contributed to these collisions. They include dangerous acts such as; distracted driving, speeding, drunk driving, reckless driving, bad weather, wrong-way driving, and failure to observe traffic laws. Alcohol played a role in 7 of the fatal collisions in 2019.
When you are involved in a traffic collision, you and your family may be forced to spend tens of thousands of dollars on medical bills, property damages, and maybe funeral services, while also enduring endless mental and emotional suffering.
Although the exact cause of the accident above was not immediately determined, the authorities will continue to gather more information, including witness statements to establish the cause of the accident. However, Pacific Attorney Group's managing attorney P. Mark Shayani believes that a separate and independent investigation into the crash is equally important. “A car accident attorney will investigate, research, and review every case thoroughly and explain to clients their rights and answer all questions to their satisfaction,” he said.
Victims of traffic accidents have an enforceable right under law to full and fair compensation for the costs and losses they suffer. Whether they receive what the law provides for them or whether they receive any compensation at all depends on how well their attorneys can pursue their claims through the intricacies of the state civil legal processes.
