California has the second highest car accident fatality rate in the U.S., shortly behind Texas. Last year, a staggering 3,176 car accidents deaths were reported in the state.
But does it mean you should crawl into a hole, put a blanket over your head and never come near the roads in Long Beach or anywhere else in California?
Not at all! You’d be making a huge mistake if you chose to spend most of your adulthood at home (the mistake you’d later regret!) or never took your car for a satisfying and peaceful ride along a Californian waterfront…
Instead, our attorneys at JML Law advise you is to learn all traffic rules by heart, never DUI, stay clear of drunk drivers and huge trucks and also have a car accident attorney’s number in your phone’s contacts (just in case!).
While the high car accident fatality rates in California may be frustrating, our Long Beach attorneys have provided you with this handy guide to staying safe on the roads of Long Beach.
If a car accident is unavoidable, try to minimize damage and prevent fatalities by avoiding head-on collisions – the deadliest type of car crash – as well as front-end collisions into objects such as trees or buildings.
Last week, a female passenger was killed in a two-car collision when her car crashed through a wall and came to rest against a home in North Hollywood.
If you got into a car accident that involved minor or severe injuries or even fatalities, call medics to treat everyone’s injuries and (if necessary) hospitalize the victims.
