Thousands of people die in traffic accidents across California every year. Find out what commonly contributes to these deadly - and often preventable - collisions.
Road rage incidents are a growing problem that have led to hundreds of fatal crashes each year. A 2016 study found that over half of drivers engage in dangerous behaviors like tailgating, yelling, honking, and gesturing at other drivers. These behaviors are more common when drivers feel stressed or impatient due to traffic, delays, or actions of other motorists. Alabama has particularly high rates of road rage deaths and incidents according to federal statistics. The document provides tips for avoiding road rage situations and links to further information.
Study: Hit-and-Run Crashes Have Been Going Up Since 2009Rachel_Vasquez
A AAA Foundation report found that hit-and-run crashes occur every 48 seconds in the US, with fatalities from such crashes up 60% since 2009. Two-thirds of the over 2,000 hit-and-run fatalities in 2016 involved pedestrians or cyclists. Reports also show a 25% increase in pedestrian fatalities between 2014 and 2017, indicating the US is facing a serious pedestrian safety crisis. Authorities encourage both drivers and non-motorists to exercise more caution, while also calling on drivers to obey hit-and-run laws requiring them to remain at crash scenes.
This document discusses the dangers and consequences of drinking and driving. It notes that in 2002 there were over 81,000 incidents of impaired driving in Canada. University aged students and those aged 19-24 are most at risk, representing over half of impaired driving accidents. The penalties for drinking and driving are severe, including fines, license suspension, and possible jail time. Programs like ignition interlock systems and the work of MADD aim to curb drinking and driving and emphasize that alcohol and driving should never mix due to the risks.
Drunk Driving in the United States of America: A FactsheetBrennan & Clark
Drunk driving caused over 10,300 fatalities in the United States in 2012, a 5% increase from the previous year. A drunk driving injury occurs every 90 seconds in the US, resulting in nearly 28 deaths per day. One in three people will be involved in a crash related to drunk driving in their lifetime. Young people aged 20-24 and males are most commonly arrested for drunk driving. Drunk driving costs the US $132 billion annually, or $500 per adult. Non-profits like MADD work to reduce drunk driving statistics and improve road safety.

Pedestrian and Cyclist Traffic Fatalities Up in 2015 By Floyd ArthurFloyd Arthur
The number of pedestrian and cyclist traffic fatalities in the United States rose an estimated 10% between 2014 and 2015, according to a report by the Governor's Highway Safety Association. Experts believe this increase is due to more people walking and cycling for transportation and health reasons, as well as a higher number of vehicles on the road. In response, the U.S. Department of Transportation and 14 cities have implemented "Vision Zero" programs focusing on lowering speed limits, improving road design, enforcement of traffic laws, and education to reduce pedestrian and cyclist fatalities.
The document discusses the dangers and consequences of drunk driving. It notes that 32% of traffic deaths in 2009 were alcohol-related. While many people know drinking and driving is dangerous, they often do not understand the full seriousness of the consequences until they are personally impacted. Society also glamorizes drunk driving in movies and TV, which can influence behaviors. The document advocates for choosing not to drink and drive by calling a taxi or spending the night, and for society to work together to reduce drunk driving.

The document discusses common causes of car accidents in California. It identifies impaired and drowsy driving, failure to obey traffic laws like running red lights and signs, speeding, and distracted driving from cell phones and other activities as leading causes of accidents from driver error. It also notes manufacturer defects and poor road conditions can sometimes lead to accidents outside a driver's control. It concludes by advising readers in a car accident to consult a car accident lawyer in Los Angeles to help prove liability and seek compensation for injuries.
Distracted driving: nothing to LOL about - a Malman Law infographicmalmanlawslides
This document summarizes the risks of distracted driving, especially from cell phone use. It states that 11 teens are killed daily in texting-related car crashes, and one in four crashes overall are caused by phone use. Both teens and adults commonly admit to texting while driving, though most acknowledge it is unsafe. The document provides statistics showing how reading or sending a text can take a driver's eyes off the road for over 4 seconds at highway speeds, significantly increasing the risk of an accident.
This document analyzes data on fatal car accidents in US states from 1975 to 2013 to determine which states have the worst drivers. It finds that North Dakota and Montana had the highest rates of fatal accidents per billion miles traveled. It also examines characteristics of drivers in fatal accidents, finding higher rates of speeding in states like Pennsylvania, Texas, and Utah. Additionally, it shows a negative correlation between median household income and accident rates, indicating safer driving in wealthier states. Insurance data further suggests Idaho and Iowa have the best drivers based on lower average premiums and losses incurred.
Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for American teenagers. In 1997, over 5,400 teenagers died in crashes. Young drivers ages 15-20 make up 6.7% of drivers but are involved in 14% of fatal crashes. Many of these crashes involve risky behavior such as not wearing seatbelts, drinking and driving, speeding, and nighttime driving. Proper safety precautions such as wearing seatbelts and not drinking and driving could save many young lives.
Distracted driving, especially among teens, is a leading cause of traffic accidents and fatalities. Nearly 80% of crashes involve some form of driver distraction like cell phone use, which impairs driving more than having a blood alcohol content of .08. Talking on the phone or listening to music decreases the brain power a driver uses for safe driving by 40%. Resources like distraction.gov can provide more information on avoiding distracted driving.

What is the average accident settlement amount for rear end collisionaftercaraccidents
The average settlement for a rear end collision consists of both tangible and intangible costs. While you can easily calculate medical expenses, the other quality of life costs are harder to determine. We'll explain what you need to know about proper compensation.
Distracted driving, especially texting while driving, poses significant risks. It is responsible for 1/4 of all accidents and kills over 3,000 people yearly, including 11 teens daily. Texting increases the risk of crashes by 18% and over 1/3 of teens report texting while driving. While most drivers support bans, texting while driving remains legal nationally. Efforts to educate people on the dangers and develop apps to reduce distracted driving could help address this serious issue.
A 2009 report found that in the US there were 12.3 highway fatalities per 100,000 people that year, with a total of 33,808 car collision-related fatalities. The majority of injuries in car accidents are determined by whether occupants were wearing seatbelts, as 65% of fatalities occurred when unbelted. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is another major factor, accounting for 35% of car fatalities. Speeding is also a common cause of collisions, and was a factor in 30-31% of all fatal crashes in 2008 according to the NHTSA. Car accidents can cause emotional, legal, medical, and financial stresses in addition to physical injuries for those involved.
Over one third of the 12,500 annual spinal cord injuries in the U.S. are caused by car accidents. And while that only makes up a fraction of the 2.3 million total car accidents per year, the effects can be devastating for those who are injured.
Every year, $13.8 billion dollars in productivity is lost resulting from trips to the DMV. Average work hours lost to DMV trips per year 2.63 x the average US wage $24.75 x population of drivers in US 212,000,000 = $13,799,610.
Breathalyzers: Friend or Foe?
breathalyzer is an electronic device designed to estimate blood alcohol concentration. Breathalyzers are usually used by police officers to grab hold of drunk drivers on the road. Breathalyzers can be installed in cars for citizens who constantly are intoxicated. We chose this topic because we strongly believe that breathalyzers should be installed into all vehicles, and that it would benefit everyone.
Young drivers aged under 20 are overrepresented in serious motor vehicle accidents. They account for 15% of crashes resulting in death or injury despite representing only 5% of license holders. Young drivers are more at risk due to lack of experience, poor hazard perception, a desire to prove themselves, and a feeling of invincibility. They are also more likely to speed, drive while fatigued or intoxicated, and have crashes at night or with passengers. Both modifiable risk factors like speeding and non-modifiable factors like age and gender contribute to the high risk for young drivers.
The document discusses the dangers of using a cell phone while driving. It notes that cell phone use reduces drivers' attention and concentration levels, which increases the risk of accidents. Studies show drivers who use cell phones have slower reaction times and are four times more likely to crash than non-distracted drivers. The impairment level is equivalent to driving drunk. The document also compares cell phone use to other distractions like smoking, eating, and radio use, but finds cell phone use poses a greater risk to safety due to the cognitive demand of holding conversations.
DoSomething.org Campaign Focuses on Texting and DrivingCarmen Arruda
Carmen Arruda supports the organization DoSomething.org, which has over 2.5 million members and challenges young people to raise awareness of social issues. One of DoSomething.org's campaigns, called Thumb Wars, reminds drivers of the dangers of texting while driving. Through Thumb Wars, members sent over 80,000 thumb socks in one year to prevent texting while driving. Texting increases the likelihood of a car accident by 23% and the average accident occurs within 3 seconds of becoming distracted. The Thumb Wars campaign aims to make roads safer by addressing the issue of texting and driving, which causes over 500,000 injuries and 6,000 deaths annually.
The average American drives for the first time during their teenage years. Teenagers make up the second smallest group of drivers in the US. Ironically, drivers aged 16 have the highest crash rates compared to drivers in other age groups.
Steven Gursten Presents ‘End Distracted Driving’ to MS Mother’s Council (MSMC)Steven Gursten
Steven Gursten, auto attorney and safety advocate, will be speaking on “End Distracted Driving” at the January 18th, 2018 Mothers’ Council meeting. Texting while driving has become a safety crisis, but it is one that very few people know about. While it is not just a teen problem, reaching students and parents is vital to changing our culture of driving so that just like drunk driving, distracted driving will one day be socially unacceptable. The presentation will empower parents and students on how to end distracted driving.
Steven Gursten has helped to develop the distracted driving presentation through EndDD.org that has now been seen by nearly 400,000 teens across the U.S. and Canada, including over 7,500 students in Michigan. Steve has given this presentation at high schools throughout Michigan. This important safety presentation is an eye-opening challenge to engage and empower students and parents to decide if their driving behaviors need to change. Students gain the skills to speak up while in a car full of potentially dangerous distractions – including friends, siblings and technology – so the driver can concentrate on driving safely. Parents learn how our children model our own driving behaviors in the car. Rationalizations for why we drive distracted are challenged and specific strategies for safe driving, and for helping our own teen drivers drive without distraction, are developed.
Many of EndDD.org speakers are trial lawyers, like Steve, who have seen first-hand the devastation left behind from distracted driving car crashes. In this safety presentation, Steve shares from cases he has personally worked on where lives have been lost from distracted driving, and his outreach work and scholarship with Bonnie Raffaele, whose 17year old daughter Kelsey was tragically killed while texting. Kelsey became the driving force behind Kelsey’s Law, the law in Michigan that bans all cell phone use by teen drivers.
Each and every one of us has the power to take lives if we make poor driving choices, but as parents we also have the power to save lives by becoming ambassadors for safe, distraction-free driving. For more information go to: www.EndDD.org

Getting behind the wheel after several shots of your favorite alcohol is a move you should never think of doing. For one, driving under the influence of alcohol is a crime. When the alcohol level in your blood reaches a level of at least 0.08 percent, you are no longer allowed to step inside any vehicle.
Drunk driving causes endless fatalities due to the effects of alcohol in a person's body: slow reaction time, lack of coordination, inability to make decisions, decreased vision, and reduced concentration. If you want to spare your life and the lives of others while driving, consider taking this concept seriously.

National Teen Driver Safety Week is October 21st-27th. At Shapiro & Sternlieb, LLC, we know how devastating car accidents can be. We want to remind parents how important it is to teach their young driver’s safe habits. In this presentation, we highlight some relevant accident statistics and discuss safe driving behaviors.
This document provides an overview of a driver safety course, including statistics about vehicle crashes and their causes. It notes that over 40,000 people are killed annually in the US from vehicle crashes. The leading causes of crashes are identified as lack of attention (such as cell phone use), lack of space, speeding, and alcohol impairment. Specific dangers of behaviors like texting, interacting with passengers, and speeding are described through crash examples and statistics. The goal is to convince drivers to change unsafe habits and pay full attention in order to reduce crash risks.

Drowsy driving is a major problem in the U.S. The risks, dangers, and tragic results associated with the practice are alarming indeed. Now, in this presentation we have highlighted a few important facts and stats that are related to drowsy driving, in particular. Have a look.
Teen drivers, especially inexperienced 16-year-olds, have especially high crash rates in their first months of licensure. Crashes are the leading cause of death among American teens aged 16-19, accounting for nearly a third of all deaths. During their initial period of licensure, teens face a high risk of crashing due to their inexperience and immaturity as drivers. Several groups are working to address this issue through initiatives that promote safe driving practices for teen drivers and their parents. Suggested approaches include supervised practice driving, restricting teen passengers and nighttime driving, and serving as a positive role model.
