Car, Truck & Motorcycle Accidents: A Growing Problem in the United States
Motor vehicle accidents are a massive problem in the United States, and as the largest state in the country, California has seen a significant increase in collisions in recent years involving passenger vehicles, motorcycles and semi trucks (tractor trailers). There have been significant upgrades in vehicle safety technology, including driver assistance systems that decrease accidents and limit the severity of accidents. Despite this, people are getting in more accidents than ever.
This is largely due to the fact that no amount of technology can cancel out human error. Drivers today are more distracted and agitated than at any point in history. If you drive down the road, you’ll have no trouble finding a handful of drivers who are clearly using their phones while driving. Additionally, drivers who encounter unexpected traffic or obstacles are more likely to react aggressively or drive recklessly in response. No matter how safe you make vehicles, you can’t force people to drive more safely—but you can drive as safely as possible to limit your risk.
Getting the Right Evidence After a Crash
If you’re involved in an accident despite your best efforts to drive defensively, it’s important to protect yourself by preparing for a personal injury claim. That means gathering evidence from the very beginning. You only get one chance to document the crash scene—if you return later, it will be tidied up as if a crash had never occurred. If you are able, take photos and video footage. If you are injured, ask a trusted passenger to take photos and videos for you.
You should also talk to any eyewitnesses who stop to provide assistance after your crash. There’s only so much you can see during a crash you’re involved in; anyone else with insight may provide useful context and evidence.
Additionally, ensure that you find out the process for getting a police report from the Hemet Police Department or the San Jacinto Police Department. This will be a crucial component of your personal injury claim.
Finally, make it a priority to seek medical care after an accident. Keep copies of any bills you receive, medical reports, and diagnostic tests for your injuries. This type of evidence can go a long way in proving the extent of your injuries.
