Different Types of Car Accidents in California
There are many types of car accidents you may see on Desert Hot Springs roads. Each type of accident has its own dangers and potential outcomes, and it’s important to know what injuries to look out for after a collision. Some of the most common types of car accidents include:
- Rear-end: Rear-end vehicle collisions are far and away the most common type of car crash in the United States. Most rear-end accidents are minor, resulting in minor property damage and injuries. But when the second vehicle does not take evasive action and hits the front vehicle at full speed, serious or fatal injuries may occur.
- Sideswipe: This type of collision often occurs when someone attempts to switch lanes without checking their blind spot. If they quickly switch back to their original lane, damage may be minimal; but if they insist on pushing through, severe injuries and property damage may follow.
- T-bone: T-bone accidents often result in serious injuries. They are most common at intersections when one driver runs a red light or stop sign. Because they rarely take action to avoid an accident, the fallout can be catastrophic.
- Head-on: Head-on accidents are most likely to result in fatalities. It takes a serious error in judgment to drive the wrong way on the road, so alcohol is often involved in these collisions.
When Are Car Accidents Most Common?
While car accidents can occur at any time, certain times of day see more than their fair share. The early morning rush, generally between 6:00 A.M. and 9:00 A.M., sees a spike in collisions. There’s also a late afternoon and early evening rush, typically between 3:00 P.M. and 6:00 P.M., when people are headed home from school and work. While collisions themselves are less common late at night, late-night accidents are more likely to result in fatal injuries. This may be due to a higher rate of impaired drivers.
The Benefits of Working With Castillo & Montes Attorneys At Law
Working with a personal injury attorney may put you in a much better position to fight for fair compensation after a car accident.

You can avoid this pitfall when you work with Castillo & Montes Attorneys At Law. Our team knows what it takes to prove your case to insurance companies—and just as importantly, we know how to sidestep the tricks used by insurance adjusters.
The sooner you connect with our team after a Desert Hot Springs collision, the more time we have to investigate your crash, put together your evidence in a convincing manner, and demand compensation from the liable party. While you focus on recovering from your injuries, we can navigate the legal aspects of your claim.
