Washington Car Crashes

Tacoma, WA - Injury Collision on SR-161 near 204th StHundreds of thousands of traffic accidents are reported yearly in the state of Washington. In 2022, over 100,000 collisions were reported in the state. Approximately 30,000 people were hurt in these wrecks while over 700 lost their lives. Sadly, the majority of car crashes in the Evergreen State, and throughout the US, are caused by negligent drivers. 

Some of the leading types of negligent driving in the United States and throughout Washington include: 

  • Intoxication: Alcohol and drug impairment remain critical risk factors.
  • Distraction: Each year, over 400,000 vehicle collisions are attributed to distracted driving, such as texting or other inattentive behaviors.
  • Speeding: More than 11,000 lives are lost annually due to drivers traveling at unsafe speeds.
  • Fatigue: Driving while drowsy impairs reaction times and decision-making.

These statistics highlight the importance of addressing negligent driving habits to reduce the severity and frequency of these devastating incidents. 

For those who have been hurt in serious collisions, the aftermath can be life-altering. Victims may end up stuck in the hospital, unable to work, while facing outstanding medical bills, vehicle repair costs or replacement, and lost wages. The financial and emotional toll may feel insurmountable, especially if the negligence of another driver caused the crash.
