Common Accidents along Los Angeles Freeway

Los Angeles is one of the busiest districts in California as many people go there to relax and to work. With this crowd, accidents are almost always certain to happen as a single act of negligence can trigger a series of catastrophe.

Freeways in Los Angeles often witness vehicular accidents that victimizes just about anyone including cautious drivers who just happen to be at the wrong place at the wrong time.

These accidents have claimed many lives including children and passengers who are defenseless to such mishaps caused by negligent drivers.

These reckless drivers often cause:

• Head-on collision. This happens when a driver from the other lane suddenly crosses the divider and drives directly onto the approaching vehicles. Many noted wrong way drunk drivers and those who fell asleep while driving have caused these accidents.
• Rear-end collision. This type of collision occurs when a vehicle suddenly speeds up or fails to yield to traffic lights causing his vehicle’s front bumper hit the backside of the preceding vehicle. These accidents can inflict serious injuries especially when it involves high speed and the other vehicle is moving slow or is stationary.
• Side collisions. Accidents in parking lots and intersections usually results to the damage of the front end of one vehicle and to the side of the other. Side collisions, also known as T-bone collision, endangers occupants more as only the side door o their vehicle are the only thing that protects them from being crushed by the other vehicle.
• Rollover accidents. SUVs and bigger vehicles are prone to be involved in rollover accidents as they have higher center of gravity which makes them lesser stable as compared to other vehicles such as sedans.

The above accidents can cause serious injuries that would need intensive therapy and medications. A person involved in any of the above accidents can suffer from:

• Head and brain injuries. The impact of the head to the steering wheel or to any hard surface can result to damages to the brain. Brain damage may leave a person with permanent disability, memory losses, and other neurological problems.
• Paralysis. This condition usually results from spinal cord injury because of the impact or when the person was thrown from the vehicle and damaged his spine.
• Amputation. In serious crashes, a person’s limb may be trapped or badly crushed and so rescuers and medical professionals won’t have any other choice but to cut off the affected area.
• Blindness and eye damage. Pieces of broken class and mirrors can get into one’s eye which may damage his eyes. Some of the victims undergo operations to regain their sight but there are those who suffer from permanent damages and even blindness.
