What Causes Injuries in San Bernardino?

Each day, hundreds of San Bernardino residents suffer debilitating or catastrophic injuries, or sometimes death, because of someone else’s negligence. Motor vehicle accidents are one of the leading causes of preventable injuries and death in the United States, according to the CDC.

The following 2020 statistics from The California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) illustrate the problem:

• 15,967 traffic accident related injuries and fatalities
• 792 motorcycle related injuries and fatalities
• 653 pedestrian injuries and fatalities
• 232 bicycle related injuries and fatalities
• 1,218 hit-and-runs
• 3,267 injuries and fatalities involved speeding
• 1,177 injuries and fatalities involved alcohol

San Bernardino residents are more likely than both the national and California-state average to die in a motor vehicle accident—with male and African-American San Bernardino residents substantially more likely to suffer a traffic fatality than the national average.

In 2017 alone, San Bernardino area hospitals admitted more than 16,000 trauma patients, and emergency department visits have been steadily increasing in recent years—a sign that unintentional injuries continue to be a serious social problem.

Accidents and unintentional injuries are especially risky for children.  According to the CDC:

• Car accidents are the leading causes of death for children under the age of 14.
• In 2020, over 63,000 children were injured in vehicle accidents.
• 711 children were killed in motor vehicle accidents in 2021.
• Of those killed, 36% were not wearing a seatbelt.

The most common causes of unintentional child injuries are:

• Car accidents
• Suffocation
• Drowning
• Poisoning
• Fires
• Falls

Sadly, these injuries are all preventable. If everyone in society took appropriate precautions and fulfilled their responsibilities and duty of care, most of these injuries and deaths could be avoided. Unfortunately, not everyone is willing or able to take these precautions, and accidents due to other people’s negligence inevitably occur.  That’s why The Dominguez Firm works diligently on behalf of injury victims to help them pick up the pieces in the aftermath of serious and debilitating accidents.

If you have been injured in an accident that resulted from someone else’s negligence, whether a bite from an untrained dog or a collision with a reckless driver, The Dominguez Firm is ready to fight for your legal right to compensation.
