Car accidents remain a serious and widespread problem across the United States, and Washington State is no exception. Each year, thousands of residents are injured on Washington roads, with many enduring life-changing injuries. In 2023 alone, more than 3,000 people in the state suffered severe injuries from crashes. Unfortunately, most of these incidents are the result of careless driving.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that driver negligence causes over 90% of all motor vehicle accidents nationwide. Common negligent behaviors include:
Distracted driving is a growing threat, contributing to over 400,000 crashes every year in the U.S. Texting, phone calls, and other distractions behind the wheel significantly increase the risk of serious accidents. Speeding also remains a deadly factor, responsible for more than 11,000 deaths annually. In Washington, speeding was linked to over 4,000 crashes in 2023 alone, causing devastating consequences for many families.
If you or a loved one has been injured due to another driver’s negligence, the aftermath can be overwhelming, both physically and financially. Medical bills, lost income, and emotional distress can quickly pile up, making recovery even more challenging.
