Car Accidents in California
California has more than 27 million registered vehicles and is one of the country’s most populated and overly congested places to drive. Every day roads are flooded with traffic and are busy with long commutes and traffic jams. Car accidents also happen every day in California and may result in serious injuries.
In addition to the long commutes and backups, California’s roads are often the site of multiple-vehicle collisions. Some drivers are not patient when dealing with congestion and traffic jams and drive erratically, weaving in and out of traffic to get to their destinations. These cars can seem to come out of nowhere and can easily cause a collision. What starts as a collision only involving two vehicles can quickly escalate to a multi-car pile-up. When vehicles are involved in a multi-car pile-up, the outcomes are often devastating, resulting in serious injuries or fatalities. Other common factors that increase the likelihood of multi-vehicle collisions include:
- Following too closely
- High speeds
- Changing lanes without signaling
- Blind spots
- Changing lanes too quickly
- Stopping suddenly
- Inclement weather
- Large commercial trucks fail to merge
