Car accidents continue to be a major issue in the United States, particularly in Washington state. Across the nation, there are over 17,000 traffic accidents every day, resulting in injuries to around 7,500 people. This translates to more than 700 crashes and 300 injuries every hour. Tragically, approximately 100 individuals lose their lives each day in car accidents. In Washington, car accidents lead to hundreds of fatalities each year, with over 700 people losing their lives in just one recent year.
A significant number of these accidents are caused by driver negligence. Distracted driving is the most common form of negligence, responsible for over 400,000 crashes annually. Other leading causes of accidents include speeding, driving under the influence, and fatigue. Each of these dangerous behaviors contributes to the loss of thousands of lives every year.
If you or a loved one has been injured in a car accident, it’s possible that negligence played a role in the crash. Coping with injuries can be overwhelming, and on top of that, dealing with the financial strain from medical bills, lost wages, and other expenses can add to the stress. A personal injury claim filed with a knowledgeable car crash attorney can provide much-needed support during this challenging time.
