Causes of Lodi Accidents

There are many reasons an accident can occur. Some accidents are caused by negligence or poor vehicle maintenance. Others are due to reckless behaviors such as speeding, distracted driving, or driving while intoxicated. In other cases, some roads such as California State Route 12 are notorious for accidents.

Dangerous Highway

Highway 12, also known as "blood alley," is particularly dangerous from Lodi to Rio Vista and Fairfield. The road is busy and often occupied by recreational vehicles and big rigs. Skinny stretches of highway with poor lighting, the lack of dividers, deep ditches instead of shoulders are some of the factors that make accidents all the worse, often resulting in traumatic injuries and fatalities.

If you have been injured on Route 12, Highway 99, or any other road in the area, please call our Lodi personal injury attorneys for a free case evaluation today.
