COMMON CAUSES AND LOCATIONS OF SAN CLEMENTE CAR ACCIDENTS

COMMON CAUSES OF SAN CLEMENTE CAR CRASHES

In San Clemente, some of the most common causes of car crashes are:

  • Distracted driving: any activity that diverts a driver’s attention away from the act of driving, which can lead to car crash injuries
  • Speeding: driving above the posted speed limit or too fast for road conditions
  • Driving under the influence: operating a vehicle while impaired by alcohol or drugs

When is comes to distracted driving, San Clemente, unfortunately, is a hot bed.  The number of less experienced drivers on the road, the beautiful scenery, and active downtown all help to contribute to distracted driving plaguing our city.

Along with distracted driving, speeding increases the likelihood of a crash due to the decreased reaction time of the driver, as well as the severity of the crash due to the increased force of impact.

Finally, like with many active beach towns, driving under the influence is a real problem in San Clemente. Driving impaired in San Clemente can lead to a decreased ability to react to a potential hazard, thus increasing the risk of a crash.

COMMON LOCATIONS OF CAR ACCIDENTS IN SAN CLEMENTE

Research indicates that Northbound Avenida Pico Off-Ramp, Interstate 5, North and Southbound El Camino Real, and various locations within the city have higher rates of accidents. The high number of accidents in these areas is likely due to the high traffic volume, inadequate road conditions, and frequent occurrences of reckless driving.

To minimize the risk of accidents at hotspots, drivers should be mindful of their surroundings, adhere to traffic regulations, and practice defensive driving. Ensuring safety while driving in San Clemente also includes always fastening seatbelts, avoiding distractions, and remaining cognizant of the surroundings.

TIPS FOR AFTER A CAR CRASH IN SAN CLEMENTE

Seeking Medical Attention After a San Clement Car Crash

Seeking medical attention after a car crash is crucial for timely diagnosis and treatment, as well as addressing long-term medical care needs. Car insurance is typically responsible for covering at least a portion of the medical treatment costs, and depending on the jurisdiction, the victim’s own policy or the other driver’s insurance may be liable.

Postponing medical care may result in an exacerbation of injuries and may prompt challenges from the insurance provider. It is advised to seek medical attention and contact an attorney promptly to ensure proper care and legal guidance.

Timely Diagnosis and Treatment

Prompt diagnosis and treatment can optimize recovery results and avoid potential issues. Timely treatment is essential for successful recovery from injuries sustained in car accidents, and delayed diagnosis and treatment can result in:

  • more severe and persistent health issues
  • chronic pain
  • disability
  • even mortality.

To ensure timely diagnosis and treatment, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly after a car accident. If an immediate visit to a hospital or doctor’s office is not possible, visiting an urgent care center is advised.  When it comes to San Clemente car crashed, there are a few options for hospital treatment.  St Joseph at Mission Viejo is the closest trauma center, while the Laguna Beach location can often be a lot less busy.

No matter where you go, it is important to comply with the doctor’s instructions for any treatments or medications and follow up with the doctor regularly.

Types of Injuries Sustained in San Clement Car Crashes

Injuries sustained in San Clemente car crashes can range from mild to severe, with traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, and soft tissue injuries being common. Depending on the severity of the injury, victims may require long-term medical care and face significant challenges in their daily lives.

It is important for car accident victims to be aware of the various types of car accident injuries they may sustain and to seek prompt medical care and legal assistance to ensure they receive the support they need to recover.

Let’s explore the most common car accident injuries resulting from motor vehicle accidents in San Clemente and their potential consequences.

Traumatic Brain Injury

Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) from car accidents can lead to long-term disabilities and require extensive medical care. Bumps or blows to the head and penetrating injuries can cause Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs). Concussions are the mildest form of brain damage associated with TBIs.

Long-term effects of brain injury may include:

  • Changes in movement
  • Changes in sensation
  • Changes in personality
  • Changes in cognitive function
  • Depression or other serious mental illnesses

Timely treatment is essential for successful TBI recovery, and in certain cases, home treatment may be an option.

Spine Injuries

Spine injuries can result in life-long pain and mobility challenges. A spine injury can can vary from a small herniation or fracture, to a severe herniation requiring extensive surgery. The consequences of spinal cord injuries can be devastating, and victims may require long-term medical care, rehabilitation, and assistive devices to cope with their new reality. Therefore, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly to avoid further damage.

Soft Tissue Injuries

Soft tissue injuries, such as the neck injury commonly referred to as “whiplash”, can cause prolonged pain and discomfort. Whiplash is a type of neck injury caused by a rapid flexion and extension of the neck, which often occurs in car accidents.

Indications of a neck injury may include:

  • Neck pain
  • Stiffness
  • Headaches
  • Dizziness
  • Blurred vision
  • Ringing in the ears
  • Fatigue
  • Difficulty concentrating

 

Injuries can be caused by broken glass or a hard impact with any part of the car, including the steering wheel, dash, windshield, airbag, side window, and car seat. Such impacts can have severe consequences.  However, many injuries from the impact the body takes and resultant jerking of the spine after the crash.
