Spotlight on Dangerous Intersections in Pittsburg

Highway 4 in Pittsburg, California is a very dangerous.

Forty-four people have died in 39 fatal crashes on the highway since the start of 2021, including 10 in eight separate wrecks this year (2023), according to totals kept by the East Bay Times. In Nov. 2022, five people were killed in a wrong-way head-on collision on Highway 4, which locally connects east and west Contra Costa County.

Highway 4 in Pittsburg, California poses a significant safety risk due to the presence of wrong-way and speeding drivers. Safeguarding yourself and your family is crucial in such conditions, but there are proactive measures you can take. Remaining vigilant at all times is paramount.

I encountered a case where my client faced a hazardous situation when a couch appeared on the highway unexpectedly. Fortunately, she acted swiftly and stopped her vehicle to avoid a collision. Unfortunately, another car, traveling at 60 mph, crashed into hers, putting her life in serious jeopardy.

The driver who hit her only carried insurance worth $15,000, which proved insufficient to cover the extensive damages. However, my client had the foresight to possess a policy of $300,000. As a result, we initiated legal action against her own insurance company and successfully recovered the damages she incurred.

Ensuring adequate insurance coverage can make a significant difference in times of unforeseen accidents on dangerous highways like Highway 4.
