Car Accidents in California

California experiences thousands of vehicle accidents each year, many of which lead to injuries or fatalities. With heavy traffic and fast-moving highways, collisions occur frequently in both urban and suburban areas. Moreover, Sacramento sees its fair share of accidents caused by various factors.

Some of the most frequent causes of crashes include:

• Distracted Driving: Drivers using cell phones, adjusting in-car settings, or engaging in other distractions often cause preventable accidents. Even a brief lapse in attention can lead to a serious collision.
• Reckless Driving: Speeding, tailgating, and aggressive lane changes increase the likelihood of accidents. Reckless driving puts everyone on the road at risk.
• Failure to Yield: Many crashes occur when drivers fail to yield at stop signs, intersections, or when merging onto highways. Understanding right-of-way rules is crucial to avoiding collisions.
• Impaired Driving: Alcohol and drugs severely affect a driver’s ability to react and make safe decisions. DUIs contribute to a significant number of accidents each year.
