Car Accidents in California

California highways, including major routes like Highway 99, are frequently the scene of serious vehicle crashes. In 2023, thousands of collisions were recorded on state highways, with Sacramento County seeing a significant share due to its growing population and heavy commuter traffic. Evening crashes, especially on busy routes, are often linked to reduced visibility, congestion, and fatigue.

When you're involved in a crash on a highway, dealing with the aftermath can be overwhelming. Here are several factors that may affect the outcome of your accident and recovery:

• Traffic Delays and Emergency Access: Highway crashes often create major backups, which can delay medical treatment or towing services. It’s important to get emergency care quickly—even if injuries seem minor.
• Vehicle Damage: High-speed highway collisions can lead to major vehicle damage, including frame issues, airbag deployment, and engine damage. Insurance companies will assess whether the car is repairable or a total loss.
• Witness Availability: On busy roads, witnesses may not stop. If you can, gather any names or contact info from bystanders, or check for traffic cameras that may have captured the incident.
• Police Reports: CHP will typically file an official report for highway crashes. Request a copy, as it can be critical evidence in an insurance or legal claim.
• Multiple Insurance Claims: In multi-vehicle crashes, determining liability can be complicated. Each driver's insurance company will likely investigate, and fault may be split among parties.
