Anaheim Car Accident Lawyers
Anaheim locals know the dangers of traveling streets cluttered with tourists; the rules of the road are seldom followed, and due to the increased use of public transportation we can expect an increase in car accidents, pedestrian accidents, bus accidents, motorcycle accidents and intersection accidents. Locals know about the significant number of collisions, but few are prepared when they become the victim of someone else's negligence. In our line of work, knowing a city's history of collisions, and the trends that contribute to future accidents, helps us to better serve our clients inside and outside of the courtroom.
Anaheim, located in Orange County California, has a city population of about 336,265, according to the 2010 U.S. Census. Making it the most populated city in Orange County, the 10th most-populated city in California. The city anticipates that the population will surpass 400,000 by 2014 because of rapid development in its Platinum Triangle area as well as in Anaheim Hills. Anaheim is the second largest city in Orange County in terms of land area, and is known for its theme parks, sports teams and convention center.
Anaheim Car Accident Statistics
According to 2009 statistics, 11 people were killed and 1,883 were injured in Anaheim car accidents. These are significantly high numbers, which leave many locals feeling as though the city should do more to keep their patrons safe. Car accidents are a daily occurrence, and can be expected at certain intersections almost every time you drive by.
In January of 2011, Vanessa Cease and Alan Reyes (both in their 20's) lives were cut short after a drunk driver collided with them while traveling on the wrong side of the freeway. It is tragic that these two young women, with their whole lives ahead of them, could still be here today had the drunk driver made a more responsible decision.
Anaheim Pedestrian Accidents
Walking the streets in Anaheim can be a dangerous business; there are many areas where drunk driving car accidents are not uncommon, leaving pedestrians on edge every time they go to cross the street. Tourists come to the areas to escape their normal every day routine, resulting in Anaheim locals having to pay the price. According to the 2009 California Statewide Traffic Records System (SWITRS), 8 people were killed and 101 were injured while on foot in Anaheim.
In January of 2011, a 15-year-old boy was seriously injured crossing the street at Harbor Boulevard near Vermont Boulevard. He suffered life-threatening injuries and was rushed to the hospital. This is just one of several pedestrian accidents that take place in Anaheim on a weekly basis.
