California Stop-Sign Accidents
Traffic signals and stop signs are meant to make intersections safer. With so many cars coming and going, it seems only natural that intersections would be the site of around 40 percent of reported crashes. One-third of all intersection accidents take place at intersections controlled by stop signs.
There are nearly 700,000 stop sign crashes reported each year. Stop-sign collisions account for around 40 percent of deadly crashes. Injured parties should consult with a qualified California car crash attorney to pursue lost compensation for their injuries.
