2007. That was the last year that saw this number of California roadway deaths. Why the tremendous and tragic surge in California deadly car accidents? The Los Angeles Times reports that there were 38,680 driving deaths in America last year alone. Why this number is particularly baffling is because the last year was about people staying home, not going out driving.

The Times quotes a researcher at the National Safety Council, “This was completely unprecedented. We didn’t know what was happening. I fear we’ve adopted some really unsafe driving habits and  and they’re going to presists. Our roads are less safe than they were pre-pandemic.”

Rather than a fluke, the 2021 numbers look to be equally high. Widespread feelings of isolation, depression and loneliess are to blame. When these feelings are combined with the other major uptick– a huge increase in alcohol and drug abuse– it is easy to see how irresponsible and deadly car accidents greatly increase.

Deadly California Car Accidents

Deadly California car accidents have always happened but this increase is certainly alarming. When you have lost a loved one in a fatal crash, you have legal options Walch Law can help you with. No a civil or criminial lawsuit cannot bring your loved one back but it can heal and financially help. On the civil side is where we come in by filing a wrongful death lawsuit against the responsible party. Here’s what you need to know about car accident wrongful death lawsuits:

• Contingency fee— we take all our cases on a contingency fee basis so you pay us nothing unless we get you paid
• Large settlements— a deadly car accident winning case can be worth a lot of money– millions of dollars if the money is available on the other side
• Comparative negligence— Los Angeles, Calabasas and all of California is a comparative negligence state when it comes to car accidents which means that even if your loved one played a role in the crash that led to their death, you can still file a winning lawsuit
• Two years- you have two years from the date of the accident to file a winning lawsuit with us but if the other side if a government agency (i.e. a city), you only have 6 months. Don’t delay!
