Law on California rear end collisions
Main summary
Key takeaways
Overview
An LA car accident attorney explains California law for common rear-end collision cases. In most rear-end crashes, the legal cause is typically tied to specific California Vehicle Code sections:
- California Vehicle Code 21703 — “following too closely”
- California Vehicle Code 22350 — “traveling at an unsafe speed”
These charges are often cited—potentially both—by CHP (California Highway Patrol) or local police investigating the incident.
Recommended Next Step
The attorney advises that anyone who is rear-ended—especially if they have any personal injuries—should contact an attorney to determine whether a bodily injury claim is warranted against the driver who caused the collision.
Call to Action
The attorney promotes his firm’s website and offers free consultations for rear-end collision claims in California.
