Car Accidents in California
Car accidents happen frequently in California, with thousands of collisions reported each year. Given the heavy traffic on major roadways like the Pacific Coast Highway, these crashes often lead to injuries that require medical treatment and vehicle repairs. Many victims face long recovery periods and financial difficulties as a result of their injuries.
Several common factors contribute to crashes on California roads, including:
- Distracted Driving – Texting, talking on the phone, or using in-car technology can take a driver’s attention away from the road, increasing the risk of a crash.
- Speeding – Exceeding the speed limit or driving too fast for road conditions reduces reaction time and increases the severity of collisions.
- Failure to Yield – Many accidents occur when drivers fail to yield at intersections, merge improperly, or ignore right-of-way rules.
- Driving Under the Influence – Alcohol or drug impairment is a major factor in severe car crashes, as it affects coordination, judgment, and reaction time.
- Reckless Lane Changes – Swerving between lanes without signaling or checking blind spots can result in dangerous side-impact collisions.
