Fatal Crash Underscores Importance of Practicing Safe Driving at All Times, says Legal Defenders at the Law Offices of Burg & Brock
The Los Angeles-based personal injury firm comments on a recent article that remaining vigilant while driving is both a matter of safety and responsibility to others.
LOS ANGELES, July 23, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- A June 20 article on CBS Los Angeles reports on a multi-vehicle crash that resulted in one fatality along the Santa Ana Freeway in Lake Forest. While the exact cause of the incident is still unclear, the California Highway Patrol reported that one vehicle attempted to jump ahead of traffic. Los Angeles-based personal injury firm Legal Defenders at the Law Offices of Burg & Brock says that reckless driving, including trying to skip in front of traffic, is never worth the risk. Not only does the driver put themselves and their passengers in harm's way, but careless driving also puts the safety of other motorists and pedestrians at risk and that is not something people should feel good about.
Legal Defenders says that as businesses begin to open up again and roads get somewhat busier while still faster than usual, it is crucial now more than ever to stay vigilant while getting behind the wheel. This includes practicing safe driving as well as taking extra precautions to allow for sudden changes or dangerous situations on the road. The Los Angeles firm notes that one of the best practices motorists can take part in is to allow for extra time when driving to their destination. Not only will this ensure that individuals drive at a safe speed, but it also takes away the stress a driver might feel if they're running behind schedule removing one more source of distraction.
The personal injury firm says that good driving habits include being mindful of one's surroundings at all times. By practicing defensive driving and always remaining aware of other nearby motorists and pedestrians, drivers can make safer maneuvers quickly should a potentially dangerous situation arise. Legal Defenders says that if it were possible to ensure that every driver's attention was focused on the task at hand, crashes and fatal collisions could likely be minimized.
Unfortunately, the law firm notes that the aftermath of even a split second of distracted driving can result in devastating consequences, from vehicle damage and medical bills to loss of life. Legal Defenders stresses that the cost of speeding or taking one's eyes or attention off the road is never worth the financial, mental, and physical toll that can follow a crash. Sometimes, it may take a little extra self-discipline but it's a physical and moral necessity, says Legal Defenders.
