Vehicle Accident Laws

Sometimes the standard for the operation of a motor vehicle is set forth specifically in the Vehicle Code of California, such as the provisions establishing the maximum speeds. Vehicle Code section 22349(a) sets the general maximum speed at 65 miles per hour, and section 22349(b) sets the basic maximum for two-lane, undivided highways at 55 miles per hour. It is presumed that a driver who violates either of these sections was negligent if their excessive speed resulted in an accident. This presumption applies to a number of Vehicle Code violations and can be used to establish the negligence of an accident-causing driver at the time of trial.

Some common examples of driver negligence include those who make left turns in front of oncoming traffic, car or truck drivers who fail to travel at a speed safe for the conditions, vehicle operators who follow too closely and motorcycles that make unsafe lane changes. Sometimes accident responsibility and personal injury repercussions depend upon the opinions of experts in auto accident reconstruction and human factors. As a car accident personal injury attorney in Orange County for several years, Mr. Ralph has a great deal of experience at working with such specialists during the hundreds of cases he has handled in the past.
