California Car Accident Statistics

The latest statistics from the California Highway Patrol (CHP) indicate that more than 3,000 drivers and passengers each year are killed as the result of car accidents in our state, while over 200,000 others suffer serious and potentially disabling injuries. Based on CHP traffic reports, the most common types of crashes and collisions responsible for injuries and fatalities in California include the following, which are listed in order of occurrence:

• Rear end collisions;
• Driver broadside accidents;
• Hitting inanimate objects;
• Sideswiping other drivers;
• Head on collisions.

There are some circumstances under which car accidents occur that can be attributed to roadway construction, traffic flow issues, and adverse weather conditions. Any of these factors can cause drivers to have difficulties in maintaining control over their vehicles, making car accidents and injuries more likely. At the same time, statistics show that the overwhelming majority of accidents that occur in California and throughout the U.S. are the result of reckless and negligent conduct on the part of other drivers.

Injuries Resulting From Car Accidents

Even seemingly minor car accidents and fender benders can result in injuries that are severe, potentially debilitating, and even life threatening. NHTSA statistics indicate that common types of injuries that occur in these accidents include:

• Muscle and tendon strains, sprains, and tears;
• Broken bones and multiple fractures;
• Severe cuts, bruises, and lacerations;
• Back and neck injuries, such as herniated disks and fractured vertebrae;
• Spinal cord injuries;
• Head injuries, including concussions and traumatic brain injuries.

Any of the above conditions may have symptoms that can take days or even weeks to appear, so it is vitally important to seek medical care immediately. While getting the care and treatment you need can help to minimize the damages and personal discomfort you suffer, failing to get help for the above conditions can result in serious and potentially fatal complications, as well as lasting impairments. During treatment, report any symptoms or adverse ill effects you experience to your doctor promptly, closely follow all of their instructions, and do not return to work or resume hobbies or other activities until any medical restrictions are lifted and you have your doctor’s permission to do so.

What To Do In The Event of An Accident

Under the California Motor Vehicle Code, drivers involved in accidents resulting in property damages and injuries to other drivers or their passengers are required by law to do the following:

• Pull over immediately, while making the effort to avoid blocking traffic;
• Notify your local law enforcement or the state highway patrol;
• Provide aid to injured victims, such as calling an ambulance;
• Exchange contact information, driver’s license and vehicle registration numbers, and insurance information with the other drivers involved.

In addition to the above, you should get medical help for any victims, including yourself, and notify your insurance company of the accident as soon as possible. Unfortunately, when dealing with these companies and their representatives, it is important to be aware that have a financial motive in denying claims or offering less than what victims are entitled to in settlements, and that any statements you make can and will be used against you for these purposes. In addition, while the California Department of Motor Vehicles requires all drivers to have insurance coverage in the event of an accident, your accident may involve a driver who was either uninsured or underinsured.
Before making any statements, signing any documents, or accepting any settlement amounts, contact our experienced California car accident attorney first. We rely on our own extensive resources to investigate into your case, so that we can negotiate with the insurance company on your behalf, with the evidence needed to support your claim. In the event insurance does not cover your damages or a settlement cannot be reached, we may be able to file a personal injury lawsuit on your behalf, seeking compensation for your medical expenses and lost wages, as well as for your pain and suffering.
