Traffic in the Bay Area can be unpredictable and hazardous. With congested highways, narrow city streets, and a growing number of drivers, accidents are unfortunately common. Some of the most frequent causes of car accidents in the region include:
Texting, phone use, and eating behind the wheel are top causes.
Fog and rain reduce visibility and control.
Especially at crowded intersections and pedestrian crossings.
Alcohol and drug impairment are major contributors to fatal crashes.
Tailgating, aggressive lane changes, and road rage.
Particularly on interstates like I-80, I-580, and Highway 101.
Understanding the cause is key to establishing fault. Our legal team works with accident reconstruction experts to prove liability and build the strongest possible case for you.
