Being injured in a car accident is an incredibly stressful experience that can leave lasting emotional, physical, and financial effects. Each year, more than 3 million people are injured in auto accidents across the United States. In Washington State, thousands of crashes lead to injuries, and sadly, hundreds of individuals lose their lives annually due to the severity of these collisions. A significant number of these tragic incidents are the result of reckless or negligent driving.
Nationwide, traffic accidents remain one of the leading causes of death for individuals between the ages of 15 and 20. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), over 93% of car accidents are linked to driver error or negligence. Common causes include driving under the influence, speeding, distracted driving, and driver fatigue. Speeding alone is responsible for more than 11,000 deaths each year.
For victims of these avoidable crashes, the aftermath can be daunting. Serious injuries often mean mounting medical bills, extended time off work, and a complete disruption of daily life. For many families, the emotional and financial toll can be too much to bear alone. If you or a loved one has been injured in a collision caused by another driver’s negligence, it's important to know that help is available.
