Auto accidents have surged across the United States over the past decade, becoming a widespread and pressing concern. According to recent data, over 6 million crashes occur nationwide each year. Of those, approximately 3 million people suffer injuries, and more than 40,000 lose their lives. In Washington, particularly in the Seattle area, hundreds of thousands of collisions are reported annually, with driver negligence at the heart of most incidents.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that over 90% of traffic accidents in the U.S. are caused by human error. Among the leading culprits is distracted driving, which alone contributes to over 400,000 crashes every year. Other frequent causes include driving under the influence, drowsiness behind the wheel, and speeding.
When you're hurt in a crash that wasn’t your fault, the emotional and physical toll can be overwhelming. Hospital stays, painful injuries, and time away from work are just the beginning. Common injuries like whiplash, broken bones, spinal trauma, and brain injuries can take months—or even years—to fully recover from. The medical bills can pile up fast, leaving many victims wondering how they'll manage.
