There are many kinds of vehicle crashes, and the potential severity of injuries depends on each situation.

• General Vehicle Crashes -In 2020, California reported over 3,700 motor-vehicle fatalities, an increase from the year before. Most deaths from traffic accidents in California involve passenger cars, with light trucks and motorcycles accounting for a smaller portion of such deaths.
• Pedestrian Accidents - In California, pedestrian fatalities accounted for 697 deaths in 2014. Traffic fatalities in motor vehicle crashes have dramatically decreased over the last two decades but still comprise 15 percent of all crash fatalities. There were 4,884 pedestrian fatalities in 2014, 35 percent lower than in 1975 and 2 percent more economical since the previous year.
• Motorcycle Accidents - Motorcycle accident deaths rose to 519 in California in 2014, compared with 463 in 2013. Nationwide, 4,295 motorcyclists died in vehicle crashes, and Motorcycle fatalities comprised 13 percent of all motor vehicle crash deaths in 2014. Although motorcycles are capable of high performance, they tend to be less visible than other vehicles and offer less stability. Motorcycles do not provide riders the protection of an enclosed vehicle, so motorcyclists are more likely to be killed or suffer injuries.
• Truck Accidents - The U.S. Department of Transportation reports that California has recorded the most truck accidents in the last ten years. Nearly nine percent of all fatal crashes in California involved at least one large commercial truck. Data from DOT reveals that most fatalities in large truck crashes involve occupants of passenger vehicles. The primary issue is that individuals traveling in smaller vehicles are more vulnerable to large truck crashes.
