Car accidents have become an increasingly common issue across the United States, particularly over the past decade. Each year, more than 6 million traffic collisions are reported nationwide, resulting in injuries for approximately 3 million people and claiming the lives of over 40,000. In Washington State alone, tens of thousands of crashes occur annually—injuring thousands and tragically taking hundreds of lives.
These accidents stem from a variety of causes, including vehicle malfunctions, hazardous road conditions, and, most notably, driver negligence. In fact, negligent driving is responsible for more than 90% of reported crashes in the U.S.—making it the single biggest contributor to traffic accidents today.
Among the many forms of negligent driving, distracted driving tops the list, causing over 400,000 collisions each year. Other common culprits include impaired driving, speeding, and fatigue—each presenting serious risks to everyone on the road.
