Causes of Car Accidents in California

It may sound like a rare event, but vehicle-into-building crashes happen more often than many people realize—especially in California, where busy roads, dense urban areas, and high traffic volumes create unique risks. When a car crashes into a home, storefront, office, or other occupied structure, the consequences can be devastating for everyone involved.

These incidents can result in serious injuries to occupants of the building, drivers, passengers, and bystanders. The damage often extends beyond personal injuries—destroying property, displacing families or businesses, and creating long-term financial burdens.

There are many potential causes behind a vehicle crashing into a structure. Common factors include speeding, impaired or distracted driving, driver confusion (such as hitting the gas instead of the brake), mechanical failure, and even medical emergencies behind the wheel. In some cases, poor urban planning or inadequate barriers may also contribute to the risk.

California law allows victims of these crashes—whether they were inside the building or outside it—to seek compensation for their injuries and damages. However, determining liability can be complex. Was the driver negligent? Was the property adequately protected? Could a third party share responsibility, such as a vehicle manufacturer or a city agency?

These cases often involve multiple layers—personal injury, property damage, insurance disputes, and sometimes even municipal claims. Working with someone who understands California’s liability laws and building codes can help you navigate the process and pursue fair compensation for things like medical bills, repair costs, temporary housing, lost income, and emotional trauma.
