Single-Vehicle Crash Statistics

The number of people hurt or killed in single-vehicle accidents in California is shockingly high. Only the vehicle involved in the crash will sustain damage if only one car is involved. Leaving the roadway or colliding with a stationary object are two potential triggers. Drunk drivers, tired drivers, drivers with impaired vision, and inclement weather are all to blame for these incidents.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 62% of traffic deaths in California are caused by accidents involving a single vehicle. California drivers must always pay attention to the road and their surroundings.

Many different factors can bring on a single-car crash. Accidents and runaways are more likely to occur when the roads are wet, especially when drivers try to make sharp turns. Hazards on the side of the route include truck cargo and downed trees or branches.

Another driver’s carelessness may have caused a single-car accident, but your insurance policy may make it difficult to pursue compensation.
