Fatal Car Accidents in California
Auto accidents take the lives of thousands of people each year in California. There are many cases where people lose their lives as a result of drivers who acted negligently while operating their vehicles. One of the most common factors that contribute to fatal crashes in our state is speeding.
Unfortunately, speeding is a contributing factor in 26% of all fatal crashes in the United States, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. That's nearly one out of every four fatal crashes.
Speeding increases the risk of crashing because it reduces a driver's ability to control the vehicle, lengthens the distance needed to stop the vehicle, and increases the severity of a crash.
