Fatal Car Crash Statistics

Many people are killed in single-vehicle accidents each year in California.

National Highway Traffic Safety Administration data shows that approximately 62% of fatal car accidents in California involve only one vehicle. A California driver’s vigilance is required due to the high number of potential threats on the road.

There are many potential contributors to single-vehicle accidents. An off-road collision or a runaway car could result from reckless driving on a slippery road, such as increasing your speed or making a sharp turn. It’s possible that something as large as a branch or other debris from the truck’s back washed up on the side of the road. This may also contribute to hazardous driving conditions.

Despite the other driver’s negligence, your ability to recover from a single-vehicle accident may be severely limited by your insurance policy’s coverage plan.

Reckless driving is illegal whether or not anyone else is hurt or killed in the accident. If a negligent driver was responsible for your death, you may be able to file a claim against their insurance provider.

Rehashing past hurts and losses in front of a large audience as a witness in a deposition or trial can be emotionally draining. The mental health of individuals can be negatively impacted by pending legal matters.

The time to take legal action against a negligent driver following a car crash is now. When multiple victims are killed due to someone else’s negligence, they must be held accountable. Suing for damages after a loved one’s wrongful death isn’t easy, but it can help a family heal. There will be far-reaching effects on the way people drive in California.
