Orange County’s Car Accident Lawyer In Tustin
Living in Orange County brings many benefits, not the least of which is the easy access we have to so many Southern California freeways. If you take a look at any Orange County freeway map you’ll see that for my city alone, Tustin, I’m within minutes of getting on any one up to five different freeways. The areas of Tustin, Orange and Santa Ana are home to the 5 freeway, 133, 241, 405, 57, 55, and 22! That is a tremendous amount of roadway in a single area.
The downside to the convergence multiple freeways in our part of Southern California means there’s more traffic. More traffic on the roads statistically means more car accidents. Unfortunately that’s a fact of life here in Southern California and especially given our love affair with automobiles.
SoCal Accidents/Fatalities Surpass Pre-COVID Levels
There was a time, only a few months ago, when the coronavirus first reared its ugly head in the United States, that traffic on the freeways was reduced to about 50% of regular levels. In fact I wrote a car accident lawyer article about this at the time. For whatever reason—perhaps we’re just too tired of the restrictions we’ve been under—traffic levels have now increased. A recent article in the Los Angeles Times discusses this and notes an alarming trend: that Los Angeles area traffic deaths are now on a par with pre-COVID levels.
I think there’s something in the American psyche that–excuse the pun—drives us toward freedom. Freedom takes many forms but especially in Southern California that means getting behind the wheel and going where we want, when we want. Most of the time that’s desirable, but as with any other freedom there’s also responsibility. A driver’s license is not an entitlement it’s a privilege and each one of us needs to operate a motor vehicle responsibly. The vast majority of us to do, but there are still those who don’t. They don’t take distraction seriously. They don’t think before taking that last drink. They are, in effect, negligent in that responsibility we all have when driving.
