Napa County is known for its hillside vineyards and roads that are filled with travelers and locals, many of whom go to a winery to have a glass of wine. This wine-growing region has definitely seen its share of car, motorcycle and other automobile accidents. Perhaps drunk driving or driving under the influence is also a prevalent result of negligent drivers. In Napa County, according to a poll, there were 1.2 arrests per one hundred licensed drivers. This compared to one arrest per one hundred licensed drivers in Sonoma County. It is evident that there is an issue with negligent or reckless drivers on the roads encompassed by these vineyards. If you or a loved one was injured in a car or other vehicular accident, you may be entitled to compensation for your personal injury accident claim.

Negligent driving can be considered careless behavior that causes harm due to a lapse in judgment. Recklessness involves a conscious decision to engage in dangerous behavior and with willful disregard for the safety of people and property.
Reckless driving could include excessive speeding, driving with defective brakes, tailgating, passing cars illegally, texting while driving, driving on sidewalks, and driving on the wrong side of the road. Typically in cases that involve reckless driving and endangerment, the plaintiff can make a claim and pursue punitive damages which seek to punish the defendant for his wrongdoing.
