An Overview on Motor Vehicle Accidents
Posted by admin in Vehicle Accidents on July 17, 2010
For the recent years, our court system has been receiving considerable number of personal injury lawsuits resulting from motor vehicle accidents. This is very much evident on the daily news reports about the accounts of tragic vehicle collisions. In fact, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) affirmed that a car accident occur every ten seconds.
In California and in most states in the U.S. wherein “no fault” legislation has not yet been adopted, these occurrences are under the law of negligence. Meaning, any person, who has been proven to operate his vehicle without due care, is required to pay his injured victim for any harm or damages that resulted from his action or inaction.
