Single-Vehicle Crash Statistics

The number of people killed in single-vehicle accidents in California is shockingly high. If an accident only involves one car, only that car will be damaged. Driving off the road or into a stationary object are both potential causes. Intoxicated or fatigued driving, low visibility, and bad weather are all contributors to these accidents.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), 62% of all traffic fatalities in California are the result of a single-vehicle accident. California drivers must always be on the lookout for potential dangers to avoid being distracted.

A single-vehicle crash can be caused by a number of different things. Runaways and accidents are more common on wet roads, especially when drivers are going fast or making sharp turns. A piece of truck cargo or a downed tree limb are two examples of potential roadside hazards.

Even if the other driver was negligent, your ability to recover damages in a single-vehicle accident may be severely limited by the coverage plan of your insurance policy.

Careless driving is always wrong, regardless of whether it results in actual injuries. An insurance claim could be made against the negligent driver’s policyholder if your death directly resulted from their actions.

Giving testimony in a deposition or trial that involves discussing past losses and hurts can be emotionally draining. The stress of an upcoming court date can take a serious mental toll on anyone, especially the victims.

After a car accident, you need to move quickly to file a lawsuit against the party who caused the accident due to their negligence. It is essential that those responsible for the deaths of several people due to someone else’s negligence be held accountable.
