Car Accidents in California
California’s busy streets see countless crashes every year, leading to injuries for thousands of people. Data shows that traffic collisions remain one of the leading causes of injury across the state. These crashes can range from minor fender benders to major multi-car pileups. Understanding your risks and options can help you feel more prepared if you ever face such a situation. It’s helpful to know the common causes behind accidents in our state. Here are some that drivers should always watch for:
- Distracted Driving: Cell phone use, adjusting the radio, or even eating while driving can pull your attention away from the road. Even a few seconds of distraction can result in a serious accident. Staying focused behind the wheel is one of the simplest ways to protect yourself and others.
- Speeding: Exceeding the posted speed limit reduces the time you have to react to road hazards. High speeds can also make collisions more severe, increasing the likelihood of injuries. Always follow speed limits and adjust for traffic and weather conditions.
- Driving Under the Influence: Alcohol or drugs can impair judgment, slow reaction times, and decrease coordination. Driving under the influence is one of the most preventable causes of serious accidents and fatalities. Always plan for a sober ride home if you’re drinking.
- Weather Conditions: Rain, fog, or even high winds can make driving more dangerous. Wet roads reduce tire traction, leading to more spinouts and rear-end crashes. Give yourself extra time and space when driving in poor weather conditions.
