Car accidents remain a relentless issue across the United States—and Washington State is no exception. Nationwide, there’s roughly one crash every minute. That adds up to about 60 crashes every hour, or nearly 1,440 accidents every single day. Of all reported collisions, around 30% lead to injuries. In Washington alone, more than 25,000 people are hurt in traffic accidents each year.
Furthermore, auto accidents are the main cause of death among people ages 15-20 in the US. Information provided by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration shows that more than 94% of auto collisions in the United States are caused by negligent driving.
A vast majority of these crashes—both in Washington and across the country—are caused by driver negligence. Among the most common forms is distracted driving, which is responsible for over 400,000 crashes annually. Other frequent causes include speeding, driving under the influence, and driver fatigue.
If you or a loved one has been injured in a crash caused by a negligent driver, it’s normal to feel overwhelmed. Between physical pain, emotional stress, and mounting expenses, knowing where to turn can be difficult. That’s where a dedicated car accident attorney can make all the difference.
