Washington State experiences tens of thousands of car accidents annually, resulting in significant injury and loss of life. In 2023, nearly 800 individuals tragically lost their lives in traffic accidents across the state. These alarming statistics underscore the urgent need for better road safety measures and awareness in the Evergreen State.
This issue extends far beyond Washington. In the U.S., over 6 million traffic accidents occurred in 2023, leading to roughly 3 million injuries and more than 40,000 fatalities. The ripple effect of these accidents is felt deeply by victims, families, and communities across the country.
While car accidents happen for various reasons, driver negligence remains the leading cause. Factors like intoxication, distraction, fatigue, and speeding are all major contributors to these tragic incidents. Speeding alone caused over 11,000 deaths in a recent year, and distracted driving continues to be a critical issue. These dangerous behaviors endanger not only those behind the wheel but also innocent bystanders and passengers.
