Washington Car Crashes

Each day across the United States, tens of thousands of auto accidents disrupt lives, leaving behind pain, confusion, and uncertainty. On average, more than 7,500 people are injured daily, and over 100 lives are lost due to traffic collisions. Here in Washington State, hundreds of crashes are reported every single day, many of which result in serious injuries or even death.

What makes these numbers even more heartbreaking? The fact that most of these accidents are preventable. Across both Washington and the nation, driver negligence is the leading cause of vehicle collisions.

Negligence behind the wheel doesn’t always look the same, but some risky behaviors stand out:

• Distracted Driving – One of the biggest threats on Washington roads, whether it’s texting, eating, or fiddling with the GPS.
• Driving Under the Influence – Nationwide, intoxicated drivers are involved in over 30% of fatal crashes in a given year.

These actions don’t just put one life at risk—they endanger everyone sharing the road.

If you or a loved one has recently been hurt in a crash, chances are it was caused by someone else’s careless choices. While you focus on recovery, you may also be dealing with:

• Mounting medical bills
• Lost income from time off work
• Vehicle repairs or replacements
