Auto accidents in Santa Cruz are frequently caused by distracted driving, speeding, failure to yield, unsafe lane changes, and impaired driving.

Types of Injuries From Car Accidents
Car accidents can result in a wide range of injuries, from soft tissue damage to catastrophic trauma. Common injuries include broken bones, head injuries, spinal damage, and internal injuries. Traumatic brain injuries and spinal cord injuries are especially serious and may require long-term medical treatment and rehabilitation.
