LOS ANGELES, Jan. 21, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- A
December 21 article on ABC7
Los Angeles reports on a
multivehicle collision that occurred early that morning after a big
rig truck overturned on the 5 Freeway in Castaic, California. The article notes that
there were no reports of serious injuries but at least three
vehicles suffered severe damage, including an SUV that drove almost
completely through the big rig's trailer. Los Angeles-based Legal Defenders at the Law
Offices of Burg and Brock says that it's fortunate that no one was
seriously hurt in the accident, but the event highlights the need
for drivers to exhibit extra caution when driving in early morning
hours.
Legal Defenders notes that car accidents on freeways are common
during commuter hours, particularly on the freeways in and around
Los Angeles. Drivers should of
course always be vigilant any time they take to the roads, but
frustration from heavy traffic can sometimes cause agitated drivers
to make careless mistakes. The law firm says that while weaving in
and out of traffic or speeding might seem harmless, the few minutes
saved are hardly worth the risk of injury or worse to yourself or
another motorist on the road.
The firm says that drivers who are found to be at fault for a
collision, particularly a serious one, may be liable for much more
than vehicle repairs and medical bills. Lost wages, trauma therapy,
and property damages are only a handful of additional costs that
the liable party is held accountable for. Legal Defenders adds that
the emotional cost of harming or killing another person on the road
can be much higher.
Legal Defenders says drivers should do their very best to remain
calm and patient any time they sit behind the wheel. A morning or
afternoon commute can be a great time to catch up on a favorite
podcast or audiobook just as long as drivers don't get distracted.
The firm says the best way to ensure that there's no need to rush
anywhere is to budget extra time in their commute for traffic or
delays. That way, Legal Defenders says drivers can navigate the
roads safely without added stress.
