Common Causes of Car Accidents in Lawndale

Many crashes in Lawndale result from preventable behaviors, including:

  • Distracted Driving – Phone use, eating, or distractions lead to collisions on Rosecrans Avenue or Inglewood Avenue.
  • Speeding & Reckless Driving – Aggressive drivers on the 405 or Prairie Avenue cause severe accidents.
  • Drunk Driving (DUI) – Impaired drivers put everyone at risk, especially near Lawndale’s bars and nightlife areas.
  • Running Red Lights & Stop Signs – Intersections like Marine Ave & Hawthorne Blvd are hotspots for T-bone crashes.
  • Poor Road Conditions – Potholes, faded lane markings, or inadequate signage can contribute to wrecks.
  • Fatigued Driving – Long commuters on the 105 Freeway sometimes drive drowsy, leading to dangerous mistakes.

  • How do I know if I have a valid car accident claim?

    You may have a valid claim if the accident was caused by someone else's negligence or recklessness, resulting in damages such as medical expenses, lost wages, or pain and suffering. An attorney can evaluate the details of your case to determine its validity. 

  • What is the statute of limitations for filing a car accident lawsuit in California?

    In California, you generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. For property damage, the statute of limitations is three years. 

  • What types of damages can I recover in a car accident case?

    You may recover damages such as: 

    • Medical expenses (current and future) 
    • Lost wages or loss of earning capacity 
    • Pain and suffering 
    • Property damage 
    • Emotional distress 
    • Loss of consortium 

  • What if the other driver doesn’t have insurance or is underinsured?

    You can file a claim under your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage, if you have it. An attorney can also explore other potential sources of compensation. 

  • What happens if I was partially at fault in the accident?

    California follows a pure comparative negligence rule, meaning you can still recover damages even if you were partially at fault. However, your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault.

  • Can I file a claim if the accident was caused by road conditions or a defective vehicle?

    Yes, if the accident was caused by poor road maintenance, you may file a claim against the responsible government entity. If a defective vehicle or part caused the accident, you may have a claim against the manufacturer.
