Traffic collisions occur in the United States and throughout the state of Washington all the time. On average, more than 17,000 car wrecks take place yearly in the United States. These wrecks cause approximately 7,500 people to become injured daily and take over 100 lives. In Washington, hundreds of thousands of car crashes occur that injure tens of thousands of people and take the lives of hundreds. In 2023, more than 600 people were killed in traffic collisions in the Evergreen State.
Unfortunately, negligent driving is behind the majority of these collisions. Currently, speeding is the leading type of negligent driving in the state, contributing to a significant portion of traffic collisions. Additionally, distracted driving causes a large percentage of accidents, including using mobile devices, texting, or other in-vehicle distractions. Another common form of driver negligence is driving under the influence, including alcohol and drug-impaired driving.
