Riverside, California, auto accidents leave thousands of people with severe, life-changing injuries and devastating losses of loved ones every year. Nearly all of these accidents are preventable with due care among drivers and other roadway users and proper care by parties in charge of roadway safety and maintenance.

Traffic accidents are common along major Riverside County streets, including Jurupa Avenue, Wells Ave., and Pierce St., and on nearby highways such as the 91, 215, and 60, which caused 2,119 injuries and fatalities in Riverside alone in 2017.
