It's also home to the California Capital Airshow, an event that people come to see.

Accidents happen everywhere, even in a town as peaceful and charming as Mather. Because motorists often take the highway to get to Sacramento or surrounding communities, that increases the risk of being injured by a negligent driver.

Common reasons for accidents include:

• Speeding: A common cause of accidents, injuries can occur to other motorists, pedestrians, or those riding motorcycles or bicycles. Speeding increases the likelihood of more severe injuries and fatalities.
• Drunk or drugged driving: Motorists intoxicated by either drugs or alcohol present a danger to others on the road. Because it can affect their reflexes, judgment, and ability to drive safely, they cause many fatalities and serious injuries every year. Also, drugged drivers don't necessarily have to be using illegal substances. There are specific prescription and over-the-counter drugs that can affect a driver's abilities.
• Poor road maintenance: Poorly maintained roadways don't just mean potholes, fissures, or other types of damage. It includes non-functioning traffic lights, missing or obscured signage, and bridges or overpasses that have not been brought up to code. Government entities are responsible for maintenance. When an accident is caused by negligence, the injured person can hold them accountable for the financial damages caused.
• Distracted driving: Driving while distracted is a common problem among motorists. Some are texting or talking on their cell phones. Others are chatting with passengers or looking for a radio station. Actions that take the driver's eyes and concentration from the road can quickly result in an accident.
• Fatigued driving: There can be many causes of drowsy driving, such as performing shift work or staying up too late the night before. However, driving when too tired means the motorists are not as aware of their surroundings as they should be. 

After an accident, seeking compensation for your damages can be stressful, overwhelming, and time-consuming. An experienced Mather auto accident attorney will take care of the complex issues so you can have peace of mind and focus on healing.
