Car Accidents in California
Car crashes are among the most reported incidents on California roads each year. With millions of registered vehicles and dense urban traffic, the risk of being involved in a collision is significant. According to the California Office of Traffic Safety, tens of thousands of people are hurt or killed in car crashes in the state annually. Drivers and passengers injured in collisions often face several physical and financial challenges. Here are some of the most common causes of accidents in California:
- Distracted Driving: This remains one of the top causes of traffic crashes. Texting, eating, adjusting music, or using navigation systems can all pull a driver’s attention from the road for critical moments.
- Speeding: Driving above the speed limit or too fast for road conditions significantly increases the risk of a crash. High-speed impacts tend to cause more serious injuries and property damage.
- Driving Under the Influence: Alcohol or drugs impair decision-making and reaction time. DUI-related collisions continue to be a major issue on California roads despite public awareness campaigns.
- Running Red Lights and Stop Signs: Intersections are common spots for accidents, especially when drivers ignore traffic signals or signs. These violations can cause dangerous T-bone or head-on collisions.
- Fatigued Driving: Tired drivers can be just as dangerous as those under the influence. Falling asleep at the wheel or having delayed reactions increases the chances of crashing.
