Fatal Car Crash Statistics

Single-vehicle accidents kill an alarming number of people in California every year.

In California, single-vehicle crashes account for 62% of all fatal car accidents, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). If you plan on driving in California, you should be aware of several potential hazards.

Several factors can lead to a single-vehicle accident. An off-the-road accident, or runaway vehicle, can occur if you drive too fast or make sharp turns on a slippery road. An object that fell from the truck’s back could be found on the roadside, such as a large branch.

Even if the single-car accident is caused by something other than your or another driver’s negligence, your insurance policy’s comprehensive coverage plan will likely limit your recovery.

Even if an accident results in the death of another person, reckless driving is still a crime, even if the victim is unable to return to work or school. It is possible to file a wrongful death lawsuit against the insurance company of an at-fault driver who has died as a result of their carelessness.

Reliving one’s past sorrows and losses in front of a large audience is a painful experience for witnesses in deposition or trial proceedings. Unresolved legal issues can negatively impact people’s mental health.

Immediate action is needed to hold a driver responsible for a car accident. Accountability is critical when a large number of people are killed as a result of someone else’s carelessness. The families of those who have lost loved ones can benefit from wrongful death lawsuits, despite the exhausting nature of the process. The consequences for drivers in California will be far-reaching.
