Intersections in San Luis Obispo can include five lanes of traffic or more in each direction as well as bike lanes. The constant flow of traffic in all those lanes can cause drivers who aren’t paying full attention to the road and to traffic lights to make mistakes.
A driver’s error in an intersection can quickly draw cars alongside and oncoming traffic into dangerous collisions. Victims can end up with serious injuries and require a lengthy and expensive stay in the hospital.

Support for San Luis Obispo Accident Victims
Car accident victims may know who caused their accident, but sometimes insurance companies try to shift blame to innocent drivers in order to save money.
Injured victims are permitted to file a claim for damages against an at-fault driver’s car insurer. This claim demands compensation to help pay for hospital bills and ambulance fees and replace lost wages while the victim is away from work.
This should be a basic level of care when someone causes an accident, but unfortunately, insurance companies care more about their bottom lines than they do the welfare of victims. Even when a police accident report clearly assigns blame, legal steps can be necessary to make sure the victim doesn’t wind up paying for recovery costs out of his or her own pocket.
