Washington Car Accidents

Car accidents have become a widespread issue across the United States, especially in recent years. Each year, more than 5 million crashes are reported nationwide, leading to millions of injuries and claiming over 40,000 lives. In Washington State, tens of thousands of crashes occur annually, many caused by driver negligence. In one recent year, over 700 people lost their lives in traffic accidents in Washington.

While accidents can be the result of mechanical failures or hazardous road conditions, the overwhelming majority are due to human error. Distracted driving alone contributes to over 400,000 accidents and more than 3,000 deaths each year. Other leading causes of negligent driving include impaired driving, speeding, and driver fatigue—dangerous behaviors that continue to endanger everyone on the road.
