Car Accidents in California

California sees thousands of car accidents each year, many of which result in injuries or fatalities. Busy roadways, distracted driving, and high traffic volumes contribute to the high number of crashes across the state. In 2023 alone, California reported over 150,000 injury-related accidents, emphasizing the dangers drivers face daily.

Understanding the common causes of accidents can help drivers stay safe:

• Rear-End Collisions: These occur when a driver fails to stop in time, often due to distraction or following too closely. High speeds increase the likelihood of severe injuries.
• Intersection Crashes: Many accidents happen at intersections due to drivers running red lights, making unsafe turns, or failing to yield. These crashes often lead to side-impact collisions.
• Lane-Change Accidents: Drivers who fail to check blind spots or misjudge distances when changing lanes can cause serious crashes, especially on highways.
• Speeding-Related Crashes: Exceeding speed limits reduces reaction time and increases the severity of accidents. High-speed crashes often lead to life-threatening injuries.
