Car accidents are an everyday reality across the United States, and Washington is no exception. Nationally, a motor vehicle crash happens nearly every minute, adding up to over 1,400 accidents per day. In Washington State alone, more than 25,000 people are injured in traffic collisions each year, highlighting the serious toll these events take on individuals and families.
The vast majority of these crashes stem from driver negligence. Distracted driving continues to be the most frequent culprit, responsible for over 400,000 crashes annually across the country.
