Car accidents are a pervasive issue throughout the United States, and Washington State faces its own share of challenges. Each year, millions are injured in car crashes, and thousands tragically lose their lives. In Washington alone, thousands of accidents occur annually, with over 3,000 people suffering severe injuries in 2023. Sadly, the majority of these accidents are caused by driver negligence.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), negligent driving is responsible for more than 90% of car accidents in the U.S. The most common forms of this negligence include:
Distracted driving, particularly, has become an alarming concern, leading to over 400,000 collisions each year in the U.S. Activities like texting or talking on the phone while driving are a growing danger on the road. Speeding is another contributor, responsible for more than 11,000 fatalities annually. In Washington, 2023 saw over 4,000 accidents caused by speeding, significantly impacting the state's crash-related fatalities and injuries.
If you or someone you love has been hurt in a car accident due to a negligent driver, the physical, emotional, and financial strain can feel insurmountable. The pain of injury, combined with the stress of hospital stays, lost wages, and costly repairs, is overwhelming.
