The San Andreas fault line runs the length of CA and goes into the Pacific Ocean, so to answer this question is impossible. When we have earthquakes in CA it is usually along the fault line, but some are also on branches of the fault. There are many small quakes each day and every so often we will get a large one. One of the largest in the history of the state was the 1906 San Francisco quake.

Will your own insurance company pay you pain and suffering if you were at fault in the accident?

Your own underinsured / uninsured (UM) policy is designed to pay to you, the policy holder, if an uninsured or underinsured person is at fault and causes injury to you but that's only if the other driver was at fault and you were injured. If you injured yourself in the accident (you were at fault), then your insurance will NOT pay pain and suffering awards. If they did, there would be many, many, many people who would stage accidents to 'injure' themselves and then claim pain and suffering awards.
