Single-Vehicle Crash Statistics

Many drivers in California aren’t aware that single-vehicle collisions are among the deadliest on the road.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), 62% of fatal car accidents in California are the result of a single-vehicle crash. The high number of single-vehicle accidents in California necessitates that drivers be aware of the many contributing factors.

There are various factors that can lead to a single-vehicle collision. Roughing it while speeding or making sharp turns on a slippery road can result in an off-the-road accident, also known as a runaway vehicle. Truck-tipped branches and other debris litter the road.

Your comprehensive insurance policy is likely to pay less for a single-car accident caused by something other than your or another driver’s negligence.

Although reckless driving results in the death of another person, it is still considered a crime. Wrongful death lawsuits can be filed by victims or their legal heirs against the negligent driver who killed them.
