Drunk Driving Accidents in Lancaster

When you buckle up your seatbelt and head out on the road as a driver or passenger, you have a right to expect that the other drivers around you are all just as concerned as you are about avoiding accidents. You reasonably assume that the other drivers are taking precautions to keep themselves and others safe. Depending on when you are on the road, however, you could be gravely mistaken.

According to the California Office of Traffic Safety’s 2019 Highway Safety Plan, California saw a 16.2 percent increase from the previous year in alcohol-related motor vehicle collision fatalities in 2016. That same year, 29.2 percent of all fatal motor vehicle crashes in California involved a motorist with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.08 percent or higher, which was higher than the national average.

With so many drunk drivers on the road, your risk of being involved in an alcohol-related crash is frighteningly high. Even when you take all necessary safety measures to keep yourself safe, you may not be able to avoid a collision.

Uninsured Motorist Accidents

If you are involved in an accident with an uninsured or underinsured motorist, you may still be able to recover compensation for your damages—but it will likely be very difficult to do so. It’s important to work with an attorney who has experience handling these types of complex claims.

  • Uninsured Drivers: If you are unfortunate enough to be involved in an accident with an uninsured driver, special laws and insurance laws apply. The uninsured driver will, in most cases, be liable for the injuries and damages caused. Without an insurance carrier to pay the bills and damages, however, you will be left with no easy remedy against the at-fault driver. He or she will not be able to call upon an auto insurance carrier to defend against any resulting lawsuits or to pay any settlement or award of damages resulting from litigation.

  • Uninsured Motorist Coverage: If you have uninsured motorist coverage on your own insurance policy, your carrier may "stand in the shoes" of the at-fault driver and provide coverage for your injuries and damages, but beware! Your carrier will act just as if they were insuring the other driver. You will definitely need an Antelope Valley car accident lawyer on your side to present your claim in the highly specialized, binding, uninsured motorist arbitration hearings that are held to settle claims of this nature.

Tips for Safe Driving During an Antelope Valley Dust Storm

While it may be impossible to avoid getting caught in a dust storm, there are a number of ways in which you can implement safe driving techniques while on the road. These storms often come without any warning and, depending on the speeds of the winds, they can be extremely violent and cause minimal visibility to the areas surrounding your vehicle. As a motorist, it is your responsibility to do whatever you can to drive safely.

Here are a few tips to consider during a dust storm:

  • If you can safely do so, pull over to the side of the road and wait for the storm to pass through; turn off your lights
  • DO NOT stop your car in the middle of the road for any reason, as this may cause a devastating collision
  • If you continue driving, turn your headlights on and proceed at low speeds, focusing on road lanes
  • If there are tumbleweeds on the road, do not swerve your car; they will not cause substantial property damage and your safety is more important
  • As you drive, frequently sound your horn to alert other vehicles of your cars presence on the road
  • While dust storms are usually short, they may cause road delays; keep food and water storage in your vehicle
  • Once the dust storm is over, use extreme caution when returning to the roadways as the dust will make the road slippery and the lane dividers difficult to see
