Reckless Driving Accident Statistics

In the United States, reckless driving is a major cause of traffic accidents, road rage, and numerous fatal highway accidents. Driving aggressively is defined by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration as violating traffic laws repeatedly so as to endanger other people or property.

According to a 2009 study by the American Automobile Association, aggressive driving contributed to 56% of fatal accidents between 2003 and 2007 and excessive speed is the most frequent factor.

In California, reckless driving is considered an extreme driving crime or a serious traffic violation. “Drive recklessly,” “drive carelessly,” or “drive improperly” are frequently used interchangeably. No matter what you call them, they significantly increase the likelihood of fatal car accidents.

The lives of others are needlessly endangered by aggressive or reckless drivers. Negligent driving that results in third party injuries is unacceptable. These drivers should be held responsible for the damage and fatalities they caused.

Reputable Reckless Driving Accident Attorneys in Sacramento

The vast majority of instances of auto accidents involve legal negligence. Your California accident attorney will use intentional behavior or “negligence per se” to establish that the other driver was at fault in a reckless driving accident. As deliberate behavior, such as drunk driving, is voluntary, its consequences are more likely to occur.

An injured pedestrian, passenger, or other road user may be able to establish negligence per se liability. Reckless driving is against the California Vehicle Code, and negligence per se involves breaking the law. In either scenario, a strong claim requires the education and experience of a determined California reckless driving accident lawyer.
