Fatal Car Accident Statistics

Car collisions frequently have long-term and even fatal consequences. To avoid this, all motorists are encouraged to exercise caution while behind the wheel. Accidents involving automobiles are unfortunately not uncommon in the US. There were approximately 33,654 people killed in car accidents in 2018. In that year, 36,560 people were killed in automobile accidents.

Accidents involving multiple vehicles are just one type of automobile accident. This type of accident happens when three or more vehicles collide. A “chain-reaction” crash occurs when two vehicles collide, potentially causing a third vehicle to crash into the first one.

Car accidents rank first on the list of leading causes of injury and death in California. Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) statistics show over 3,304 deaths on California’s roadways in 2017. While it is technically possible to represent yourself in a car accident case, it is not recommended. Self-representation puts you at risk of making mistakes and losing your right to compensation.
