Street Takeovers Pose Rising Danger for Bay Area Drivers, Says Burneikis Law
As dangerous "street takeovers" and reckless driving incidents continue to increase across the San Francisco Bay Area, Burneikis Law is calling attention to the serious risks they pose to public safety and offering guidance to those injured as a result in their latest blog post at https://burneikislaw.com/street-takeovers-reckless-driving-what-to-do-if-you-are-injured/. Often referred to as "sideshows," these illegal events block intersections and roadways while drivers perform high-speed stunts like donuts and drifting, endangering onlookers, pedestrians, and unsuspecting motorists alike. Personal injury attorney Monica Burneikis, founder of Burneikis Law, urges community members to know their rights if they are hurt in such an incident and to seek legal representation as soon as possible.Street takeovers, which have historical roots in Oakland, have resurged in alarming numbers since the COVID-19 pandemic and are drawing increasing concern from law enforcement and the legal community. Despite efforts to curb the behavior, the stunts are often organized on social media and involve large crowds, making enforcement and emergency response difficult. "These events aren't just disruptive-they're potentially deadly," said Monica Burneikis. "We've seen too many victims suffer serious injuries as bystanders or while simply trying to drive home. When someone's reckless choices place innocent people in harm's way, they need to be held accountable."
Victims of injuries resulting from unlawful street takeovers may have grounds to pursue compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages. Burneikis Law encourages individuals hurt in this type of crash to document everything they can, seek immediate medical care, and consult an experienced personal injury lawyer. Legal cases involving reckless driving can be complex, particularly when multiple drivers, vehicles, or spectators are involved, but swift legal action can help preserve vital evidence and protect a victim's rights.
"Being hit during a sideshow or reckless driving stunt isn't just bad luck-it's negligence, and it deserves legal attention," Burneikis added. "Our firm is committed to holding reckless drivers accountable and helping victims gain the peace of mind and financial recovery they deserve."
