Por qué se producen los accidentes de tráfico
A car accident can happen at any location. Many crashes occur on residential streets while people are passing through intersections, and others happen on the freeway. Some occur in aparcamientos y parking structures. Essentially, wherever there are drivers, there may be crashes. The severity of the crash is not necessarily limited to the location, but it can correlate. For example, there are more deadly crashes on the freeway due to the increased speed limit and more rushed and careless driving that people exhibit when compared to driving in neighborhoods. For the most part, car accidents occur due to driver negligence or recklessness. Many drivers have oversights or errors that they make and do not pay close enough attention to the road or to other individuals. Some of the ways in which people are negligent include:- Exceso de velocidad
- Tailgating
- Girar sin señalizar
- Turning into crosswalks when pedestrians are present
- Ignorar las leyes sobre el derecho de paso
- Girar en sentido contrario a la circulación
- Refusing to stop at stop signs and red lights
- Refusal to yield to other vehicles
- Conducir bajo los efectos del alcohol
- Conducir cansado
- Enviar mensajes de texto y utilizar el teléfono mientras se conduce
- Vehicular malfunction or car defects

How To File A Lawsuit After A Car Accident?
In order to file a lawsuit against the responsible party after a car accident, you must be able to show that you were the victim of negligence. This includes proving four points of negligence: tt you were owed a duty of care that was breached in some manner, and that the breach of duty led to physical injuries. If it can be shown that even one of these points is false, you will be barred from receiving your compensation. To adequately sue, you must have ample evidence. After a crash, you should do the following:- Get medical attention and hold on to all the necessary medical receipts, doctor’s notes, paramedic notes, treatment details, and more
- Take pictures of the scene of the accident, your injuries, the damages to the vehicles, any damage to the environment, and more
- Interview eyewitnesses, bystanders, and passengers who can provide you with testimonies as to what they saw, if anything
- Write down the contact information and personal details of the responsible driver
- Acquire surveillance footage if available
- Request a copy of the police report if an investigation was carried out by the police
- Contact an attorney with experience in car accident lawsuits
Statute Of Limitations On Car Accident Claims
You can file a lawsuit pursuing your rightful compensation no later than 2 years after the date of the injury. This statute exists for personal injury lawsuits so that all involved parties have ample opportunity to gather evidence and pay off debts in a timely manner. If the claim were to be filed years after the fact, there could be no compensation to be had, injuries could have healed, and evidence could have been corrupted. The statute of limitations does have some exceptions, however. For example, the intended defendant of your case could decrease the amount of time you have to sue if the defendant is a city entity or government institute. The statute could decrease to less than 6 months if you were suing because of a defective road. On the other hand, your deadline could be extended if you were underage at the time of the incident – you would not have to adhere to the statute until you turn 18 years old. You may have been psychologically or physically wounded to the extent that you could not sue, which would make you free from the statute until you return to your normal state of mind and body. Additionally, the defendant must be present in the state if you wish to sue. If he were to leave the state or flee the country, the statute would be put on hold until he returns to his place of residence. It can be very confusing to not know how long you have to file a claim and if you are eligible for any extensions. Our team of car accident lawyers in Santa Barbara can make sure that your case is filed on time and that you do not miss any important deadlines for your lawsuit.
