Car accidents have become a serious problem in the United States, especially in the last decade. On average, the United States sees over 6 million car wrecks per year. About 3 million people are hurt in these accidents, and over 40,000 people are killed. In Washington, specifically, tens of thousands of traffic collisions happen yearly. Unfortunately, the majority of these accidents are the result of negligent driving.
Information provided by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration shows that 9 out of 10 auto accidents in the US are caused by driver negligence. Currently, driver distraction is behind over 400,000 reported auto accidents in the US. Sadly, around 3,000 people lose their lives annually in these collisions.
