Single-Vehicle Crash Statistics

Single-vehicle accidents are one of California’s most dangerous types of car accidents, but many drivers are unaware of this.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), single-vehicle accidents account for 62 percent of all fatal car accidents in California. Drivers must be aware of the various factors involved in single-vehicle accidents in California due to the high number of them.

Many factors can cause a single-vehicle collision. A run-off-the-road collision occurs when a driver loses control of their vehicle while speeding or making sharp turns on a wet, slick road. Debris such as a large branch or an item that fell from the back of a truck can be found on the road.

Your comprehensive coverage plan will likely limit your recovery in a single-car accident caused by something that isn’t your or another driver’s fault, such as a deer jumping in front of your vehicle.

San Bernardino County Car Accident Lawyers

Because of their injuries, many car accident victims are unable to return to work or school. A victim’s death does not absolve a reckless driver of responsibility for their actions. Wrongful death lawsuits can be filed by the victim’s surviving family members against the driver who caused the victim’s death through negligence (or legal heirs).

It is painful for them to relive their losses and grief. Victims must testify in front of strangers in depositions and trials about their losses. It can take months or even years to settle a case, which can have a significant impact on one’s mental health.

It is critical to hold a negligent driver accountable if they cause an accident. Accountability is critical in cases where negligence resulted in an unnecessarily high death toll. For grieving families, wrongful death claims can be emotionally draining, but they can also provide closure. This will benefit everyone who drives in California.
