Washington Car Crashes

Tacoma, WA - Traffic Collision with Injuries on I-5 near South M StCar crashes remain one of the most common and life-altering events Americans face — and Washington is no exception. Each year, thousands of residents are injured on Washington roads, with over 3,000 suffering serious injuries in 2023 alone. Tragically, many of these collisions are the direct result of preventable mistakes behind the wheel.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), over 90% of traffic accidents are caused by human error. Some of the most frequent and dangerous forms of negligent driving include:

  • Distracted driving (e.g., texting or using a smartphone)
  • Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
  • Fatigue and drowsy driving
  • Excessive speeding

Distracted driving, in particular, continues to rise with alarming frequency. Nationwide, it contributes to more than 400,000 crashes each year, and Washington is not immune to this troubling trend. In 2023, over 4,000 collisions in the state were attributed to speeding alone, a behavior that also accounts for more than 11,000 fatalities annually across the U.S.

When a reckless or careless driver causes an accident, the aftermath can be devastating — physically, emotionally, and financially. From painful injuries and hospital bills to lost income and the strain of long-term recovery, the burden on victims and families can be overwhelming.
