What is the Most Common Collision Type?

In cities like Pasadena, some of the most common types of collisions leading to car crash injury claims include:

Rear End Collisions - When the car in front of you stops short, or a pedestrian carelessly wanders in front of you, you're forced to slam on the breaks. Oftentimes if the driver behind you wasn't paying attention or was following too closely, this can result in a rear end collision.

Left Turn Car Accidents - Making left turns can lead to serious accidents if someone attempts to turn too early or isn't paying attention to the traffic that has right-of-way. Side impact car accidents can be extremely dangerous because one side of the vehicle takes the brunt of the damage.

Hit and Run Accidents - Hit and run accidents can involve anyone from bicyclists to pedestrians, and often other vehicles. Hit and run compensation can also be one of the most difficult types of cases to handle because the guilty party often does not have car insurance. A common place for hit and runs to occur is in parking lots where there are a lot of pedestrians and vehicles moving in and out of parking spaces.

Parking Lot Accidents - In bustling cities like Pasadena, parking lots or parking structures can be a common location for accidents to occur. With a lot of drivers forced to navigate small spaces and many of them distracted by trying to find the ideal parking spot, collisions are a common occurance.
