Throughout the nation, car crashes have become a significant issue, happening tens of thousands of times per day. Yearly, more than 6 million vehicle accidents are reported in the United States, about half of which end in injuries. Sadly, over 40,000 people are killed annually due to traffic collisions in the US. Even more alarming, the majority of these wrecks are caused by the actions of negligent drivers.
In Washington, the leading cause of auto accidents is currently driver negligence, specifically intoxication and distraction, closely followed by speeding. The state sees hundreds of deaths per year related to negligently caused auto accidents.
