Getting hurt changes the shape of an ordinary week. In Lancaster, a city of about 161,000 people in Los Angeles County, public records for 2025 list 1,051 injury collisions, 1,723 people injured, and 12 traffic deaths. Those numbers come from ordinary streets: the lettered avenues β Avenue I, Avenue J, and Avenue K β along with Sierra Highway account for the largest share of reported collisions. Records also show a bump in crashes on Fridays between 5 p.m. and 7 p.m., when the workweek lets out. Not every injury happens behind the wheel. A fall in a parking lot, a dog bite on a neighborhood walk, or a collision on a bicycle can leave you with the same questions about medical bills and missed paychecks.
