Wrong Way Driver Accident Lawyer: Fighting for the Injured

Wrong-way driver accidents are some of the most dangerous collisions on the road. These crashes often result in devastating injuries or loss of life due to the head-on nature of the impact. At Fielding Law, we represent victims and families affected by wrong-way crashes in California and Arizona, holding negligent drivers accountable and helping clients recover the compensation they deserve.

We understand the trauma and stress these crashes cause. Our legal team is here to guide you with compassion, experience, and unwavering advocacy.

Common Causes of Wrong Way Accidents

Wrong-way crashes are almost always caused by driver negligence. Some of the most common causes include:

• Impaired Driving: Alcohol or drug impairment is a leading cause of wrong-way collisions.

• Confusion or Disorientation: Elderly, fatigued, or unfamiliar drivers may mistakenly enter one-way streets or off-ramps.

• Poor Visibility: Driving at night or in unfamiliar areas can contribute to errors in judgment.

• Lack of Signage: Missing or unclear “Do Not Enter” or “Wrong Way” signs can increase risk.

• Distracted Driving: A distracted driver may miss road markings and directional signs.

These accidents often happen at high speeds, resulting in catastrophic consequences for innocent drivers and passengers.

How Liability Is Determined

California Law: California allows injured victims to pursue damages if the other driver was negligent, such as entering a highway the wrong way due to intoxication or confusion.

Arizona Law: Arizona follows a similar standard, holding negligent drivers accountable under comparative fault rules. Even if you share partial responsibility, you may still recover compensation.

Key Evidence May Include:

• Police reports

• Witness statements

• Dash cam or surveillance footage

• Toxicology results (if DUI is suspected)

• Traffic camera records

Our team at Fielding Law conducts a thorough investigation to hold the wrong-way driver — and any other responsible parties — legally accountable.
