Fatal Single-Vehicle Crash Statistics

Every year, a large number of people in California are killed in single-vehicle accidents.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, roughly 62% of fatal car accidents in California only involve one vehicle. To drive legally in California, you need to be constantly vigilant for a wide variety of threats.

There are many potential contributors to single-vehicle accidents. Imprudent driving on a slippery road, such as increasing your speed or making a sharp turn, can lead to an off-road collision or a runaway car. Large pieces of debris from the truck’s back may have washed up on the side of the road. This could make driving conditions even worse.

Even if another driver’s negligence caused the single-vehicle accident, your ability to recover damages may be severely constrained by your insurance policy’s coverage plan.

If you are driving recklessly, it is against the law, even if no one else is hurt or killed. If you believe a careless driver caused your death, you may be able to seek compensation from their insurance company.

Rehashing past hurts and losses in front of a large audience as a witness in a deposition or trial can be emotionally draining. People’s mental health can suffer when they have pending legal matters.

After a car accident, you should seek legal recourse against the at-fault driver immediately. When many lives are lost due to someone else’s carelessness, it is imperative that they be held accountable. Although wrongful death lawsuits are challenging to pursue, they can bring the much-needed closure to surviving loved ones. Driving in California will be transformed fundamentally and have far-reaching effects.
