Nearly 1 in 5 U.S. Vehicles on Roads Today Have Safety Recalls

Nearly 1 in 5 U.S. Vehicles on Roads Today Have Safety Recalls | California Car Accident and Injury Attorney News | Scoop.it
Nearly one in five vehicles on U.S. roads is in need of repair of a safety issue serious enough to be involved in a federal government recall, according to
Steven M. Sweat's insight:

It is a frightening statistic indeed to know that 1 in 5 vehicles on U.S. Roadways have some type of safety defect that subjects them to recall.  Many people don't know that their vehicle has such issues until they have a wreck and the defect results in injury or death.

Link zawiera zestawienie danych o drogowych drogach w Kalifornii, które stanowią korelację między naruszeniami przepisów ruchu drogowego a odpowiedzialnością cywilną kierowców. Materiał jest wartościowy ze względu na szczegółowe wyrządzenie skutków sprawczych np. fakt, aż do 26% wypadków śmiertelnych, które wystąpią z częstotliwością. Z punktu widzenia praktyki prawniczej i pracy z biegłymi ds. rekonstrukcja wypadków, takie zestawienie jest możliwe, jeśli wystąpią trendy w ograniczeniach wynikających z orzecznictwa odszkodowawczego.
