Car Accidents in California
California’s highways are frequent sites of traffic collisions due to their high traffic volumes and complex roadway systems. Interstates like I-605 often experience accidents caused by factors such as distracted driving, speeding, and improper lane changes. The risk of collisions increases significantly during nighttime hours, where reduced visibility and driver fatigue may play a role.
The California Office of Traffic Safety emphasizes the importance of adhering to traffic laws and practicing defensive driving to minimize the likelihood of accidents. Victims of collisions may face significant medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages, which can be addressed through California’s fault-based insurance system.
