Even with five lanes on each side, the 101 through Studio City sees extreme traffic levels all day long. Traffic can stop and start on a dime but this fact doesn’t seem to slow drivers down.
Drivers behave recklessly every day on the 101 and can also allow themselves to be distracted by cell phones, radios, and even passengers. These mistakes lead to devastating consequences when traveling alongside so many other motorists.
US-101 ranks as California’s second most dangerous stretch of road when documenting tragic accidents each year. Asecurelife.com found that the highway recorded 139 traffic deaths in 2019. That ranks only behind Interstate 5 in deadly accidents.

Securing Help for Studio City Accident Victims
Motorists can be out for a quick trip to the store or off to work when their drive is suddenly brought to a frightening end by a collision. Victims may recover from the shock of an accident to find they’ve suffered a broken bone, a traumatic brain injury, or worse.
And those hurt in an impact may not even know they are injured at the time because of the adrenaline that flows after such a scary experience. It can mask pain after an accident. It may not be until the next day or two that the true damage is discovered.
When accident victims find they’ve suffered a serious injury they are encouraged to seek support by filing a claim for damages against the at-fault driver’s auto insurance provider. This claim can demand help from a reluctant insurance company for things like hospital bills and physical therapy costs. The compensation should also cover the lost wages a victim endures while missing work. Emotional anguish and a loss of enjoyment of life due to a debilitating injury should also factor into any settlement achieved.
