Spring break is a time for fun, relaxation, and travel—but it can also be a time when accidents happen. Every year, thousands of people visit California for spring break, enjoying beaches, theme parks, nightlife, and outdoor adventures. Unfortunately, with the increase in visitors comes a rise in accidents, ranging from car crashes to slip and falls.
If you or a loved one is injured during spring break in California, here’s what you need to know—and how the experienced attorneys at M&Y Law Company can help.
Common Spring Break Accidents in California
Whether you’re visiting Los Angeles, San Diego, or a coastal beach town, these are some of the most common types of spring break accidents:
- Car Accidents: Increased traffic, distracted drivers, and unfamiliar roads can lead to collisions.
- Slip and Fall Injuries: Hotels, resorts, restaurants, and attractions can become hazardous if property owners fail to maintain safe conditions.
- Alcohol-Related Incidents: Bars, clubs, and parties often lead to intoxicated behavior and increased risk of injuries.
- Rideshare Accidents: Uber or Lyft rides gone wrong can leave vacationers injured and unsure who is liable.
- Water and Outdoor Activity Injuries: Boating accidents, jet ski crashes, or hiking injuries are common in spring’s active season.
What to Do If You’re Injured While on Vacation
If you’re injured during spring break, it’s important to take immediate steps to protect your health and legal rights:
- Seek Medical Attention: Your health is the priority. Get medical help, even if injuries seem minor.
- Report the Incident: Whether it’s a car crash or a fall at a hotel, file a report with the proper authorities or management.
- Document Everything: Take photos of the scene, your injuries, and anything that contributed to the accident. Get witness names and contact info.
- Avoid Speaking to Insurance Alone: Insurance adjusters may try to minimize your claim. Speak with a lawyer before agreeing to anything.
- Contact a Personal Injury Attorney: A vacation injury lawyer familiar with California laws can guide you through the process—even if you live in another state.
