The Causes Associated with Auto Accidents
Auto accidents – including those involving company vehicles – are very common. Incidents can occur any time that drivers are on the road. Even if drivers are being safe on the road, the negligence of other drivers could contribute to incidents. Some of the common causes of auto accidents include the following:
- Inexperienced or unlicensed drivers
- Reckless driving
- Driving under the influence
- Distracted driving
- Driving while sleepy, fatigued, or drowsy
- Driving unsafe vehicles
Regardless of the specific cause of the incident, it is important that all affected parties know that they could be eligible to pursue a claim against the liable party or entity.
Can You Sue?
Without a doubt, the parties affected by auto accidents could have grounds to sue. This is because all drivers owe other drivers on the road a duty of care – a duty to drive safely and follow all traffic rules and regulations in order to prevent incidents. When drivers breach their duty of care towards other drivers on the road, they could contribute to incidents and be liable for any resulting harm. This same duty of care applies to drivers who are driving company vehicles. Does that mean that negligent drivers could be liable for the harm resulting from incidents involving company vehicles? If a company vehicle, such as a SoCalGas vehicle, is involved in an accident, the driver will not be liable; rather, the company will be liable – based on the concept of vicarious liability (which transfers liability from employees to employers).
What does this mean? If you or a member of your family were involved in an incident involving a SoCalGas vehicle, you could sue. If you are interested in learning more about your right to sue, do not hesitate to seek legal assistance with the SoCalGas vehicle accident attorneys at our firm today.
Could You Recover Compensation?
As explained above, you could be eligible to sue for the harm that you or a member of your family suffered in an incident involving a SoCalGas vehicle. Based on the details surrounding your claim, you could also be eligible to recover monetary compensation. You could be eligible to recover some of the following categories of compensation:
- Medical costs
- Lost earnings
- Pain and suffering
- Property damage
- Funeral and burial expenses
- Loss of consortium
- Punitive damages
- Legal fees

Filing within the Statute of Limitations
All claims are subject to a strict deadline established by a statute of limitations. If claimants fail to file their claims within the allowed timeframe, they could lose their right to sue. How long do you have to file your claim? In California, for instance, auto accident claims are typically subject to a two-year statute of limitations. This means that claimants will only have two years to sue. If you are in another state, a different deadline could apply. To ensure that you have a thorough understanding of the deadline that applies to your claim against SoCalGas, do not hesitate to seek legal assistance with the experts at our firm immediately.
