California has more cars than most other states. And more crashes to boot. In fact, every three minutes, someone gets hurt in a car crash in the Golden State.

But numbers aren’t just a statistic.

These are human lives we’re talking about.

Husbands. Wives. Kids. Grandparents. Lost.

People get hurt. Some badly. Whiplash. Broken bones. Concussions. Paralysis.

Many of these people might not be able to eat, talk, walk, see, or hear properly ever again.

More people are out.

Plus, people stay out late.

There’s drinking.

Partying.

People get tired.

Plus, lots of people travel. They aren’t familiar with the “danger spots” locals know about.

What Are The Reasons for June, 2026 Personal Injury Accidents In Newport Beach? 

No-one knows. But we do know some of the top culprits of California traffic accidents involving personal injuries.

Distracted driving:

Chatting on the phone. The quick text. Listening to something on headphones while you drive.

These may seem like innocent things to do. Just a few seconds.

But they’re not. You could kill yourself and other people if you’re doing even one of these things while you drive.

Distracted driving is the top cause of fatal vehicle accidents in California.

Drunk Driving:

Almost one out of three traffic fatalities in California involves alcohol. And most of these accidents aren’t even due to late-night partying. Experts say “happy hour” (around 6 to 9 in the evening) is the worst time for these types of accidents.

Never. Ever. Drink and Drive. For any reason.

Speeding:

The speed limit is there for a reason. A good one, too. You actually double your risk of being involved in a deadly car crash every time you go ten miles over 50 mph.
