Car Accidents in California
California roads see a high number of crashes each year. According to the California Highway Patrol, more than 277,000 people were injured in traffic collisions across the state in 2022. Heavily traveled areas like downtown Los Angeles are especially prone to accidents due to congestion, distracted driving, and frequent lane changes.
Understanding the risks can help prevent crashes. Here are some common injuries resulting from car accidents:
- Whiplash and Neck Injuries – Sudden impacts can cause painful neck strains, which may lead to long-term discomfort and mobility issues.
- Head and Brain Injuries – Even minor collisions can result in concussions or traumatic brain injuries (TBI), affecting memory, coordination, and cognitive function.
- Fractures and Broken Bones – The force of a crash often leads to fractures, particularly in the arms, legs, and ribs, which may require extensive recovery.
- Back and Spinal Cord Damage – Spinal injuries can cause chronic pain or, in severe cases, permanent paralysis, affecting a person's daily life.
