Loose Pets Cause Many Los Angeles Car Accidents

There are many factors, including distracted driving, that can lead to a Los Angeles car accident. California lawmakers have attempted to eliminate distracted driving by banning the use of handheld cell phones and texting while driving.

Many experts are now taking aim at man’s best friend. It is believed that loose pets can lead to a serious car accident.

In 2009, there were 5,474 people killed and 448,000 people injured in the U.S. from distracted drivers. Many of these accidents are believed to have been a result of unrestrained pets.

Whether it’s a puppy on your lap, a pooch hanging out a window or your pet’s paws resting on the steering wheel, the results can be deadly. Any sudden movement by your pet can take your eyes off the road leading to a car accident.

However, you can’t control what other motorists do. Another motorist with an unrestrained pet in his or her vehicle can leave you with a serious injury.

If you have been injured from a wreck involving an unrestrained pet, you might be able to hold the other driver responsible. Unfortunately, proving that he or she was at fault can be difficult. An experienced Los Angeles personal injury attorney can help you build your case and receive the compensation you deserve.
