However, traveling also comes with some potential hazards that can ruin your vacation and cause serious injuries. Some of the most common accidents when traveling are:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Traffic Accidents<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Road accidents, which can involve cars, trucks, motorcycles, buses, pedestrians, and bicycles, are common summer accidents while traveling.&nbsp;According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), motor vehicle crashes are the<a href=\"https:\/\/wwwnc.cdc.gov\/travel\/yellowbook\/2024\/environmental-hazards-risks\/injury-and-trauma\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">&nbsp;number one cause<\/a>&nbsp;of unnatural deaths among U.S. citizens traveling abroad.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/dklaw.com\/practice-areas\/car-accidents\">Car accidents<\/a>&nbsp;can happen anywhere, but they are more likely to happen in unfamiliar areas where you are not familiar with the traffic laws or the road conditions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Alcohol-Related Accidents<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Alcohol affects brain function and impairs judgment, coordination, and reaction time. It can also lead to dehydration, heatstroke, and alcohol poisoning. Alcohol can increase the risk of slips and falls, drowning, violence, and traffic accidents. Drunk driving is one of the most common causes of traffic-related deaths for travelers in the U.S. and abroad. In 2023,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhtsa.gov\/risky-driving\/drunk-driving\">12,429 people<\/a>&nbsp;died in drunk driving crashes in the U.S.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Water and Aquatic Injuries<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>With its warm climate and miles of beaches, California is a popular destination for swimming, boating, jet skiing, scuba diving, and surfing. However, accidents can happen due to inexperience or the absence of lifeguards on duty.&nbsp;According to the World Health Organization, drowning is one of the leading causes of death for children under 14 years old in the U.S. Boating accidents can also cause injuries if the boater is not familiar with the equipment or lacks&nbsp;flotation devices.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bicycle Accidents&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Summer is a popular time for bike riding, especially in Venice Beach or Huntington Beach. If you plan to ride on city streets, remember that cars must&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/dklaw.com\/the-fine-print\/california-bicycle-laws\/\">share the road<\/a>&nbsp;with bikes.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/dklaw.com\/practice-areas\/bicycle-accidents\">Bike collisions<\/a>&nbsp;involving cars, pedestrians, or other cyclists can cause injuries such as head trauma, broken bones, bruises, abrasions, and internal bleeding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Slips, Trips, and Falls<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dklaw.com\/practice-areas\/personal-injury\/slip-and-fall\/\">Slips, trips, and falls<\/a> are common workplace accidents, but they can also happen at hotels or resorts where floors may be slippery or wet. Be vigilant when walking near a pool or stairs, as a slip and fall accident can cause serious injuries such as sprains, bone fractures, cuts, bruises, or head trauma.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Violence<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Violence can happen when traveling to certain countries or areas where crime is high, political unrest is present, or armed conflict is ongoing. The U.S. Department of State issues<a href=\"https:\/\/travel.state.gov\/content\/travel\/en\/traveladvisories\/traveladvisories.html\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">&nbsp;<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/travel.state.gov\/content\/travel\/en\/traveladvisories\/traveladvisories.html\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">travel advisories<\/a>&nbsp;for different countries and regions,&nbsp;ranging from Level 1 (Exercise Normal Precautions) to Level 4 (Do Not Travel). If you plan to travel abroad, check this list before you go and follow the safety tips provided by the State Department.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"dklaw-toc__block align wp-block-dklaw-toc-block\"><div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tips for Driving in California<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dklaw.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/iStock-667071670.jpg\" alt=\"Big Sur California\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>California is a road-tripping paradise, with beautiful scenic drives up and down the coast and through the desert. To protect all vehicle drivers and passengers, California maintains a mandatory seat belt law, which requires every passenger in a vehicle to wear a seat belt. Wearing a seatbelt will protect you from more serious injuries if you get into a crash. Children under 8 years old or under 4 feet 9 inches must use a child safety or booster seat.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are driving in California for the first time or are not familiar with the local roads and traffic rules, here are some tips to help you stay safe and avoid accidents:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Speed Limits<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The speed limit on most California highways is 65 mph, though in some areas it is 70 mph. On two-lane undivided highways, the speed limit is 55 mph. The speed limit is 25 mph in business, residential areas, and school zones when children are present.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Motorcycle Helmet Law<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>All motorcyclists and their passengers\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dklaw.com\/the-fine-print\/california-motorcycle-helmet-laws-a-complete-guide\/\">must wear\u00a0<\/a>helmets, regardless of age or experience. Helmets must meet Department of Transportation safety standards. Additionally, California is the only state that allows\u00a0motorcycles to ride between traffic lanes (known as lane splitting).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">No Texting While Driving<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In California, texting and driving is illegal. You can only use your cell phone for voice communication if it is hands-free, such as a Bluetooth device or a speakerphone. You can also use your cell phone for navigation or music if it is mounted on the windshield or dashboard and can be activated with a single swipe or tap. Drivers under 18 are not allowed to use any cell phone while driving.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Carpool Lanes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>On many California freeways, one or more lanes on the far left are designated as carpool lanes (also known as HOV lanes or diamond lanes). These lanes are reserved for vehicles with two or more occupants, including the driver. They are marked by signs and white diamonds painted on the pavement. Do not cross into a carpool lane if you see a solid or double white line.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Right of Way for Pedestrians and Bicyclists&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Pedestrians always have the right of way at crosswalks and intersections, whether they are marked or unmarked. Drivers must stop and yield to pedestrians who are crossing the street or waiting to cross. Bicyclists have the same rights and responsibilities as drivers, except when otherwise indicated by signs or markings. Drivers must share the road with bicyclists and give them at least three feet of clearance when passing them.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"dklaw-toc__block align wp-block-dklaw-toc-block\"><div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dangerous Roads and Intersections in Southern California&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you live in Southern California or you\u2019re just visiting, you should be aware of the most dangerous roads in<a href=\"https:\/\/dklaw.com\/the-fine-print\/most-dangerous-road-in-orange-county\/\">&nbsp;Orange County<\/a>&nbsp;and<a href=\"https:\/\/dklaw.com\/the-fine-print\/11-of-the-most-dangerous-highways-roadways-in-los-angeles\/\">&nbsp;Los Angeles<\/a>.

If you or a family member suffers a vacation injury in the U.S. or abroad, there are a few key steps to take to protect your legal rights and well-being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Notify Someone in Charge<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are injured at a hotel, resort, or retail store, let a manager on duty know. After a road accident, call the local authorities and wait for an officer to arrive. If you were using a rental car, call the rental car company to let them know of the accident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Seek Medical Attention<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You should always seek prompt medical attention, even if you think your vacation injuries are minor. Seeing a doctor and getting checked out can prevent an injury from worsening.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Gather Evidence<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is especially important if you decide to file an insurance claim. Speak to any witnesses, keep medical records from the hospital or urgent care that treated you, and take pictures of the accident scene and your injuries.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Notify Your Insurance Company<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Depending on the type of accident and the severity of your injuries, call your auto insurance, health insurance, or other policy and inform them of the accident. Do not say anything that could hurt your insurance claim, like \u201cIt\u2019s not that bad\u201d or \u201cI should have been more careful.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Contact an Experienced Personal Injury Attorney<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A lawyer can help you understand your legal rights under California law. They will explain the process of filing a claim against the party who may be liable for causing you harm.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"dklaw-toc__block align wp-block-dklaw-toc-block\"><div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to File a Personal Injury Claim in California<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Every state follows its own personal injury laws, but the goal is the same: to recover compensation for injuries and losses caused by someone else\u2019s negligence. However, filing a personal injury case in California can be a complex and challenging process, especially if you are dealing with serious injuries and a hostile insurance company. Here are some steps you should take to file a personal injury claim in California:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list is-style-arrow-list\">\n<li><strong>Identify the defendant and prove liability:<\/strong>&nbsp;The defendant could be a vehicle driver, a property owner, a manufacturer, or another party. You must prove that they were negligent, meaning that they failed to act with reasonable care and caused your harm.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Gather evidence and documentation:<\/strong>&nbsp;To support your claim, you need to gather as much evidence and documentation as possible, such as records of medical treatment, photos of where the accident happened, and your injuries.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Know the statute of limitations:<\/strong>&nbsp;For California personal injury claims, victims must file within two years from the date of the accident. If you miss the deadline, you may lose your right to sue and recover compensation.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"dklaw-toc__block align wp-block-dklaw-toc-block\"><div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Contact a California Personal Injury Lawyer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We have offices across Southern California, including&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/dklaw.com\/locations\/costa-mesa\/\">Orange County<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/dklaw.com\/locations\/los-angeles\/\">Los Angeles<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/dklaw.com\/locations\/san-diego\">San Diego<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/dklaw.com\/locations\/bakersfield\/\">Bakersfield<\/a>, and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/dklaw.com\/locations\/riverside\">Riverside<\/a>.
