California Teen Driver Accident Attorney

Teen Drivers Wreak Havoc on California Roads

Ask any California personal injury attorney to name one of the biggest problems on the road, and there is little doubt they will say, “Teen drivers.” Although people may joke about being afraid of teen drivers, there is actually good reason to try to avoid them whenever possible. They are literally the most dangerous drivers on the roads today.  

In fact, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention reports that, every day in America, 11 teens die behind the wheel, making traffic accidents the leading cause of death among that age group. Teen driving accounts for one in three deaths of teenagers. Additionally, roughly 400,000 teens are treated each year in emergency room departments across the country.

Worse yet, teens like to drive with their friends in the vehicle. The problem with that, however, is that it greatly increases the driver’s chances of getting into an accident. The teen drivers at highest risk include males, those with teen passengers and newly licensed teens.

If you have been involved in an accident as a result of a teen driver, or your teen was a passenger in the car of another teen driver when an accident occurred, you may need to speak with a California personal injury attorney. Having dealt with many injuries that were the result of teen drivers, these attorneys are be able to help you make sense of the options available to you.

While teens only represent about 14 percent of the population of the country, they account for around 30 percent of all of the costs associated with motor vehicle accidents, which is about $19 billion.

As a result of these accidents, many people who were either a victim or have a teen who was a passenger in a vehicle that crashed find they are left with medical bills they cannot afford, expensive damages, and sometimes even wrongful-death lawsuits.

Those who are the victims in teen driving accidents usually do have options. This is true whether you were in another vehicle or if it was a pedestrian accident or motorcycle accident. Until there are tougher laws in place to help curb the teen driving problem in America, people will need to take as many precautions as possible to help prevent a tragedy. If an accident with a teen driver does happen, a California personal injury attorney is the best place to turn, for sorting out what to do next.
