Car Accidents in California
California experiences a high volume of traffic accidents every year, with many crashes occurring on busy highways and interstates. According to state data, thousands of people suffer injuries annually in collisions caused by distracted driving, speeding, and other negligent behaviors.
Accidents like this highlight the dangers drivers face on California roadways. Some of the leading causes of vehicle collisions include:
- Highway Merging and Lane Changes – Crashes often occur when vehicles attempt to merge onto or change lanes on congested highways. Misjudging distances and blind spots contribute to these accidents.
- Distracted Driving – Using mobile phones, adjusting navigation systems, or engaging in other distractions significantly increases the risk of collisions.
- Poor Weather and Road Conditions – Rain, fog, and construction zones can create hazardous conditions, reducing visibility and traction.
- Vehicle Malfunctions – Mechanical failures, such as brake or tire issues, can lead to unexpected accidents, particularly at high speeds.
