Unlicensed Driver Accidents in Long Beach
Long Beach Car Accident Attorney
According to a 2011 study by the Auto Club, unlicensed drivers are involved in one out of every five fatal crashes. The study also found that unlicensed drivers are more likely to be involved in a hit and run accident.
Motorists who are driving without a valid license include those who never had a license, or those driving on a suspended or revoked license. The state of California has an unusually high number of unlicensed drivers particularly because of our large population, especially in Los Angeles County.
If you have been involved in a car accident with an unlicensed driver, we urge you to contact a Long Beach car accident attorney from McGee Lerer Ogrin without delay. Just because you were injured by an unlicensed driver, does not mean that you don't have legal recourse in the matter.
Who are the Unlicensed Drivers in Long Beach?
Unlicensed drivers come from all types of backgrounds and situations. They can include elderly adults who have been deemed unfit to operate a motor vehicle any longer due to poor eyesight or mental incapacity, they can include unlicensed teenagers who take their parent's car out for a joyride, or they can include people who have had their license suspended or revoked for DUI, or they can be adults whose license was never renewed or who never obtained a valid driver's license before. In any case, these unlicensed drivers are responsible for thousands of car accidents and fatalities each and every year in the United States.
