Fatal Two-Vehicle Collision Statistics

The number of victims of motor vehicle-related accidents in the U.S. has increased immensely throughout the years. The National Safety Council (NSC) reports that an estimated 38,000 people were killed in U.S. motor vehicle accidents in 2019.

Fatal car crashes frequently occur on California’s large and congested highways. Numerous individuals are killed each year on California’s roads due to travel at high speeds and truck accidents. The California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) reports that there were 3,563 car accident fatalities throughout the state in 2018 alone. Thousands of people must deal with grief and sudden loss in the wake of California’s deadly accidents.

The driver who caused the accident is liable to the other involved parties for paying their damages, such as those just listed. In California, the fault for a collision depends on which driver negligently caused the accident. Sometimes both drivers can be at fault. Even if this happens, one driver might be able to recover damages from the other driver.

Of course, not every motor vehicle crash in California is caused by the negligence of another driver. Sometimes they can be caused by hazardous road conditions, defective vehicle parts, or even driverless vehicle malfunctions. When accidents like these occur, the vehicle manufacturer or its parts or a government agency could be held liable for the victim’s damages.
