As part of the East Bay’s Tri-Valley area—along with Dublin, Livermore, Danville, and San Ramon—Pleasanton truly lives up to its name in almost every way. From the historic downtown to the always-popular First Wednesdays and Friday Concerts in the Park, you couldn’t wish for a nicer place to live, work, and play. In fact, our fair city has been recognized repeatedly, including the following notable accolades:

• Ranked as one of USA Today’s “America’s 50 Best Cities to Live In“;
• Ranked as one of Money’s “ Best Places to Live“;
• Named one of Forbes “Americans’ Top Hometown Spots” in the US; and
• Named one of NerdWallet’s wealthiest cities in the US (earnings).

Awards aside, however, Pleasanton and the Tri-Valley area have been the site of many tragic accidents. In early 2021, for example, three serious accidents in three days resulted in five fatalities in the Livermore area. Several of these victims were local teenagers, three of whom died in a collision involving a semi-truck. In another of these tragic accidents, a local mom and retired phone company employee was enjoying a bike ride when she was involved in a collision with a gravel truck, the driver of which fled the scene.

The California Office of Traffic Safety reports that, for 2018 (the most recent year for which data is available), Pleasanton was the site of 284 injury or fatality accidents. Motorcycle riders, bicyclists, and pedestrians were involved with more than 20% of those incidents. Both excessive speed and alcohol were factors in many of these tragic events.  

To help ensure the safety and well-being of its residents, the City of Pleasanton has implemented a variety of traffic safety education programs as well as vehicle speed reduction initiatives and an anti-drinking and driving program aimed at younger motorists. Despite these efforts, however, the risk for injury accidents persists.

You can’t control the actions of others on the roadways. All you can do is buckle up, stay alert, and do your best to avoid becoming a statistic. If you do have the misfortune to be involved in an injury accident, the Pleasanton personal injury lawyers of GJEL will be here to help.
