Small cars are becoming more popular due to higher gas prices and heightened environmental awareness. But even though these tiny autos might be more prudent, they are consistently shown to be less safe. Size does matter when it comes to car crashes, and tests results for smaller cars can be misleading. If you have been injured in a car accident in California, please contact an experienced lawyer for help immediately.

Despite many changes and additions to small cars, statistics show that they are fatally more dangerous than mid-sized or larger automobiles. Fatality rates for small car passengers are constantly higher than those for large ones. Crash victims in smaller cars are 51% more likely to die in their accident.

Specialized safety mechanisms and design cannot outweigh simple physics. The weight and size of smaller cars continues to be the most important factor in safety, or lack thereof. The differences in weight are astounding; in some cases small cars can be outweighed by three times their size. Mini cars weigh anywhere from 1800 to 2500 pounds. Larger SUV’s by comparison weigh 3300 to 5500 pounds or more.

Tests results from experiments performed by the NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) can be misleading. Due to the way the tests are conducted, frontal-impact crash tests enacted on small cars only provide for information regarding a collision with a car of equal size. Therefore, a good rating in head-on crash tests is a good rating only if the crash impact is with a car of similar weigh and size. Alternatively, test ratings for side-impact collisions are representative for a collision with any sized car.

If you or a family member has been injured in a car accident in California, contact a local attorney for help. Please call the Law Team at Greenberg & Rudman LLP toll-free at 1-800-ALAWPRO (1-800-252-9776) for a free consultation about your rights. Let us fight for you in this time of need. Call us now.

Only last month, a 14-year old boy, while riding as a passenger, died of severe injuries sustained from a car crash in Huntington Beach, CA. The accident occurred when the driver of the Acura Integra while traveling at high speeds, ran a stop sign and collided into Cadillac Escalade. Luckily, the driver and the passengers of the Escalade (which included small children) escaped with relatively minor or no injuries. Unfortunately, the teenage passenger did not fare so well.

Witnesses to the accident believe that the Acura was involved in a street race with another car, with a third car trailing behind as the “referee.” Local residents in the area say that the intersection’s wide lanes, scarce traffic, and light police patrol make it a common place for street racing to occur. At night, the sounds of screeching tires can be heard from cars going 80 to 100 mph.

If you or a loved one has been injured in Southern California as a result of illegal street racing, you need the guidance of an experienced professional on your side. The personal injury lawyers at the Law Firm of Greenberg & Rudman LLP are here to help. Call 1-800-ALAWPRO (1-800-252-9776) now free initial interview regarding your situation.

Two SoCal men were fatally injured in a motor vehicle accident near the San Gabriel River Freeway in late January when their driver, a resident of Pomona, lost control of his Honda Accord automobile and swerved into oncoming traffic. After first sideswiping a Mercedes, the Accord was broadsided by two other cars, the impact of which most likely caused the two victims to be ejected from it. According to police, neither was wearing their seatbelts at the time of the crash. The driver, suspected of driving under the influence, was arrested at the scene and faces a minimum of manslaughter charges.

Seatbelt are often overlooked as a critical safety mechanism that significantly reduces the degree of injury and prevents fatalities. According to data published by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, seatbelts are an effective way to prevent ejections from a car. In crashes in which fatalities were involved, only 1 percent of occupants reported to be wearing seatbelt were ejected compared to 30 percent of those who were not wearing seatbelt restraint systems. A seatbelt not only saves lives but it also reduces the cost of injury associated with collisions. A long-term assessment of traffic accidents found that that from 1975-2000, seatbelts saved society a total of $585 billion in medical care, lost earnings, and other injury-related costs.

Law enforcement officials, state legislatures, and the department of motor vehicles all recognize the importance of wearing safety belts while driving. In an effort to educate consumers and motivate drivers to wear their seatbelts, they have launched a yearly, nationwide awareness campaign called “Click It or Ticket.” This year, the campaign will occur from May 19 – June 1, 2008. During this time period, law enforcement officials around the nation engage in an enforcement blitz to target those who fail to wear their seatbelts. In addition, national and local paid advertising will help support the message of seatbelt safety. The program is considered to highly successful – contributing to the 82% nationwide usage rate of seatbelts.
