Washington Auto Accidents

Car accidents are a significant problem across the United States, and Washington State is no exception. Every year, millions of people are injured in auto collisions, and tens of thousands lose their lives. In Washington alone, tens of thousands of traffic accidents occur annually. In 2023, over 3,000 people in the state suffered serious injuries due to car crashes. Unfortunately, the majority of these accidents are caused by driver negligence.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that over 90% of car crashes across the United States are the result of negligent driving. Some of the most common forms of negligence include:

• Fatigue
• Intoxication
• Distraction
• Speeding

Distracted driving, in particular, has become a major issue. On average, over 400,000 vehicle collisions occur each year in the United States due to distractions, such as texting or talking on the phone while driving. Additionally, speeding contributes to over 11,000 fatalities annually. In Washington, in 2023, there were over 4,000 accidents caused by speeding, accounting for a significant portion of the state’s traffic fatalities and injuries.
