Irvine Car Accident Lawyers

Irvine, California is known as the safest city in the nation, but how does it fair when it comes to car accidents? Not aweful, but there is still plenty of work to be done; a significant number of bicycle accidents, drunk driving accidents, intersection accidents, motorcycle accidents and pedestrian accidents still occur within city limits, yet hardly more than the local Irvine patrons get to hear about them. In a community where everyone is connected, a life lost affects countless people and leaves ripples that last decades.

Irvine is located within Orange County and has a population of 212,375, according to the latest census. In 2008, CNNMoney.com chose Irvine to be the fourth best place to live in the United States and in 2010 the Federal Bureau of Investigation reported that Irvine had the lowest violent crime rate among cities in the United States with populations of more than 100,000.

Irvine Car Accidents

According to the 2009 California Statewide Traffic Records System, 15 people were killed and 1,221 were injured by car accidents in Irvine. For embracing the label of safest city in the nation, these numbers seem to prove otherwise when matched up to similarly sized cities.

In May of 2011, a young girl died in Irvine due to a horrific drunk driving car accident. Multiple parties suffered life-threatening injuries; all in an accident that could have easily been prevented had the drunk driver made a better choice, as well as if the courts had taken a harder stance towards his previous misconduct.

The drunk driver, Austin Farley, had previously been arrested for driving under the influence and had pleaded guilty to driving with a suspended license and refusing to submit to a test for driving while intoxicated.

Irvine Pedestrian Accidents

According to the 2009 California Statewide Traffic Records System, 3 people were killed and 32 were injured by pedestrian accidents in Irvine. Although these numbers wouldn't be considered terrible, a few pedestrian accidents have already been reported for 2011.

A 64-year-old man was placed in critical condition after he was struck at the intersection of East Yale Loop and Briarwood in Irvine by a drunk driver. He suffered head trauma and broken bones and was immediately transported to a local hospital for treatment.
