Car Accidents in California

California sees thousands of car accidents each year, with many resulting in serious injuries or fatalities. In a recent year, the state recorded over 3,800 traffic-related deaths and more than 270,000 injuries from crashes. Many accidents occur on busy highways like the 91 Freeway due to speeding, distracted driving, and reckless maneuvers.

There are many reasons why car accidents happen. Here are some common causes:

• Distracted Driving: Using a phone, adjusting the radio, or eating while driving can take a motorist’s attention off the road, increasing the risk of an accident.
• Speeding: Driving over the speed limit or too fast for conditions reduces reaction time and increases the severity of crashes.
• Tailgating: Following too closely behind another vehicle can lead to rear-end collisions, especially in heavy traffic.
• Driving Under the Influence: Alcohol or drug use impairs judgment, slows reaction time, and contributes to many severe accidents in California each year.
