Oceanside, Carlsbad, North County Area Auto and Motorcycle Accident Lawyer 
Car accidents are the leading cause of personal injury in the United States and account for thousands of fatalities each year. Many of these accidents could be avoided, as they often result from negligence on the part of one or more motorists. Though California motorists are required to carry motor vehicle insurance, victims are not always able to obtain fair compensation for damages and injuries. Victims from Vista, Oceanside, Carlsbad, and other North County communities have turned to auto and motorcycle accident attorney Russell Kohn of the Kohn Law Office for the justice they deserve. Mr. Kohn has an impressive record of success that demonstrates the personal commitment he brings to every case.
Auto Accident Information
After an auto accident, it is important to seek immediate medical attention. Some auto accident injuries can take days to appear yet are still no less serious. One of the more frequent types of injuries is whiplash, but auto accidents can also result in traumatic brain and spinal cord injuries. Some injuries never fully heal and require a lifetime of expensive care and treatment. The tragedy of many auto accidents is that the suffering does not end with the injuries themselves; lingering financial burdens can force individuals into bankruptcy, contribute to depression, and tear families apart. Many wonder why they are forced to face these hardships when the accident, to begin with, was not their fault. At the Kohn Law Office in North County, Oceanside auto accident attorney Russell Kohn will aggressively pursue the justice you deserve.
Auto Accident Causes
Aggressive drivers are, by far, the leading cause of auto accidents. In many cases, aggression leads to recklessness, and on the nation's crowded streets and highways, one wrong move can have disastrous consequences. Some of the more frequent auto accident causes include:
- Speeding
- Failure to signal intent
- Excessive lane changing
- Passing on a shoulder
Road rage and driving under the influence can cause accidents that often result in more serious injuries and carry harsher penalties for the defendant. In addition to civil action, road rage and driving under the influence can carry with them potential criminal charges.
Road Rage
Any of the above causes can precipitate an act of road rage. Road rage is becoming far too common and can lead to some of the more serious auto accident injuries.
Road rage results when the actions of one driver are perceived to be a personal affront. "Cutting off" or passing on the shoulder could potentially incite another driver to act on his anger or frustration. Enraged individuals driving in harassing or threatening ways do not often know or care what other drivers are doing. Their attention is focused on the object of their rage, and their reckless and careless driving puts not only themselves, but others on the road at great risk.
Driving Under the Influence
An individual driving under the influence poses a significant danger to other motorists as well as to pedestrians. While driving under the influence is primarily a criminal matter, Oceanside auto accident attorney Russell Kohn can file a civil suit to obtain compensation for damages the DUI accident caused.
