Washington Car Crashes

Auto accidents have become more and more common in the United States in recent years. Over 6 million car crashes are reported annually across the nation, causing injuries to millions of people and taking the lives of thousands more. At this time, the most common reason behind the majority of traffic accidents in the United States is negligent driving, making most collisions preventable.

Recent data gathered concerning Washington car accidents underlines this growing problem. in 2023 alone, the Evergreen State saw more than 160,000 reported collisions, with nearly 60,000 people injured and over 600 fatalities. A large percentage of these incidents were preventable, and sadly, most are the direct result of negligent driving behavior.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), 4 out of 5 car accidents in the U.S. are caused by driver negligence. Some of the most common forms of negligent driving include:

• Fatigue
• Speeding
• Intoxication
