Car accidents remain a leading cause of injury and death across the United States, many of which are entirely preventable. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), over 40,000 people lost their lives in vehicle crashes nationwide in 2022. Reckless behaviors such as drunk driving, distracted driving, speeding, and neglecting to wear seatbelts contribute heavily to these tragedies. Impaired driving alone is responsible for nearly one-third of all traffic fatalities each year.
Washington State faces its share of this ongoing crisis. In 2023, the state experienced over 800 fatal crashes, marking a 10% increase from the previous year. Tacoma, as a bustling urban center, frequently sees serious collisions on major routes, including I-5, SR 7, SR 16, and throughout Pierce County. Studies show that human error accounts for over 94% of crashes, with alcohol-related accidents continuing to cause profound hardship for families in the region.
If you or a loved one has been injured in a Tacoma car accident, identifying fault is essential to securing justice. When negligence leads to injury, you are entitled to pursue compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages. However, dealing with insurance companies during recovery can be stressful and confusing.
