Anaheim Freeway Accidents: What is the Main Cause of Collisions on Freeways?

According to the official California DMV website, common causes of vehicle collisions are drivers going at unsafe speeds, driving while under the influence, driving with distractions, driving on the wrong side of the road, taking improper turns, breaking right-of-way rules, failing to abide by signs, and driving while using their phone. 

Still, that’s just scratching the surface of the many causes of Anaheim freeway accidents. Other key contributors to these accidents include:

  • Aggressive driving
  • Drowsy driving
  • Poor road conditions

After an accident, pull off to a safe spot on the side of the road, call your attorney ASAP, identify witnesses, document your injuries, and take down the other driver’s information. Never speak to their insurance provider, and take pictures of the entire scene for your attorney to use when getting you the compensation you deserve.

A Closer Look at Common Causes of Anaheim Freeway Accidents

Above are all common causes of car accidents on the freeway. Let’s explore different ways that these could contribute to Anaheim freeway accidents on, say, the I-5. 

A screen-shot of a Google Maps picture of the I-5 running through Anaheim, which is where the majority of Anaheim freeway accidents occur. 

Looking at the image above that lays out the city of Anaheim, many features stick out that contribute to accidents. Firstly, when considering factors like road conditions, roads in Los Angeles, Long Beach, and Anaheim rank the 3rd worst in the entire country. 

California may be known for sunshine, but anyone who’s lived here knows its reputation doesn’t mean it never rains. In fact, during the spring and winter, rainfall is common. Just look at the recent weather pattern of 2024, for example. The adage is true – when it rains, it really does pour. 

The road conditions are already notoriously poor, so when you factor in inclement weather, it’s a recipe for disaster. Also, with Knott’s Berry Farm and Disneyland, popular California and international tourist destinations, just off the I-5, you will get a mix of tourists unfamiliar with the roads and kids driving along the 5 and possibly even uninsured drivers. 

Unfamiliarity with the freeway and local laws causes many accidents, as do kids driving to these destinations, who are likely newly licensed. Newly licensed drivers are about eight times more likely to be involved in fatal crashes than more experienced drivers.

Of course, driver’s using the GPS on their phones and trying to make last minute exits could also result in cutting off others, causing car crashes. 

The I-5 is also a freeway that leads from the San Diego border town, San Ysidro, all the way up to the Canadian border, meaning that if someone is making a long haul up it, they may try to pull an all-nighter, causing them to drive in a drowsy state, impairing them. 

Anaheim freeways have all the makings of a perfect storm when it comes to accidents. And if you are in one, contacting an attorney immediately is of the utmost importance. 

“Countless situations and conditions can contribute to a car accident, but the most important thing for you to keep in mind is that working with a personal injury lawyer as soon as possible is crucial to get the compensation you deserve. The other driver’s insurance company and lawyer will try to prevent you from enforcing your rights, and we will guarantee that doesn’t happen. Like we mentioned, when it rains, it pours, but we provide shelter from the storm.”
