California Car Accident Statistics

The California Highway Patrol collects data on car crashes every year on the Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS). The Transportation Injury Mapping System (TIMS) is a free tool developed by UC Berkeley to access and query SWITRS data.

According to TIMS, approximately 147,292 motor vehicle collisions occurred in California in 2020. On average, an estimated 253,154 injuries and fatalities occur due to California car accidents each year.

In Ontario alone, 548 car accidents occurred in 2020. Of these statewide collisions, 3,914 people died and 15,397 people suffered from serious injuries. An additional 118,725 people suffered from other degrees of injuries, including minor and non-incapacitating damage.

Compensation Available to Ontario Car Accident Victims

If you are injured in an Ontario car accident, you are eligible to pursue an insurance claim or lawsuit against the driver responsible for your collision. California is a fault insurance state, meaning that drivers whose actions cause accidents must pay for their victims’ damages.

The following are examples of damages available in Ontario car accident claims.

  • Medical expenses

  • Disability accommodations
  • Chronic pain
  • Permanent disability
